Ghost Of Yotei Saito Walkthrough (Chapter 1)

This walkthrough will cover the Saito quest in chapter 1 of Ghost of Yotei, where you must sneak past Saito’s forces and reach the titular enemy, which culminates in an epic duel. Before you head inside, you will want to make sure that you are prepared properly.

Make sure to visit any Altar of Reflection you see, so that you gain as many skill points as possible. The quest will be quite long and end in a boss fight. Here is a complete walkthrough for the Saito quest in Ghost of Yotei.

Ghost of Yotei Saito Quest Starting Location

The quest unlocks after finishing the Way of the Dual Katana quest. You will have to head to the Tomamu Marshlands to find Saito’s training fortress. The closest Fast Travel point you would have to this location at this point in the game would be Yotei’s Shadow Inn.

Make your way to the marked location on the map shown above. The fortress will become visible from quite a distance. Once nearby, head to the main gate, and you will get the prompt to speak the password (see image above).

After a short cutscene, you will be led inside, where someone will finally recognize you, starting a standoff. Defeat this enemy, and another to the side. You are finally free to explore the interior of the castle.

Walkthrough For Ghost of Yotei Saito Quest

Now, make your way up the slope, but be careful. There are some enemies lurking here. You can just sneak around and make your way to the gate if you don’t feel like fighting. There aren’t any penalties if you get discovered, though (outside of actually fighting the enemies).

Either way, proceed upwards and slip through the open gate. Keep going up the steps to find a locked door. Atsu will remark on needing another way to pass ahead. This will be found to the left of the path.

You can climb up and jump onto a platform, which will take you over the wall. A short cutscene will play out as Atsu spots Lord Saito. You will now take out your Spyglass and peer into this open area.

Spyglass and Sneaking

There are two main things you will need to focus on through your Spyglass before the story continues:

• Firstly, the main gate leads deeper inside. Saito will disappear inside and be out of Atsu’s reach momentarily.
• Secondly, the a crack in the left wall through which Atsu can slip into the cliffs and climb inside.

Your task will be to sneak past this area (while assassinating enemies on the way), and reach the gap in the wall you spotted. The best stealth skills you can unlock early will surely help you in this endeavor. You can even run past all the enemies in this area, just be careful not to get shot by enemies.

Reach the Top of the Fortress

Go through the gap and emerge onto the cliffside. Climb the rock formations (there’s only one way ahead, so you can’t get lost here) and use your grappling hook when needed. Finally, you will see another gap in the wall where you can squeeze back into the training fortress.

There are a ton of enemies here, so be careful. You can sneak around them if you do not wish to fight them. However, if you get spotted, run around to ensure you do not get surrounded and pick them off one by one. If you try to proceed through the gate, it will be locked again. Simply look to the left, and you will find yet another gap in the wall to squeeze through.

(Note: Don’t forget to collect all the materials in this place. There’s also a crate with loot right before the aforementioned gap in the wall.)

Now that you are back on the cliff side, make your way around the corner and slide down the slope. Make sure to jump at the last second and use your grappling hook to avoid death and land on the other side. Now keep making your way to the top using a combination of wall climbing and the grappling hook.

Once you are at the top, you can sneak inside through an opening. Lord Saito will be just below you. Simply hit assassinate to start a cutscene.

Lord Saito Boss Fight

After the cutscene, this boss fight will start. Saito will be wielding a spear. Use your Dual Katanas and keep up the aggression to not let him attack back and keep breaking his posture.

Eventually, once you bring him low enough, an explosion will occur, ending the battle and putting you into a cutscene. Saito will be able to escape the bombardment and live to see another day. You will get the Onryo Armor II for completing this quest.

This will end the walkthrough for the Saito quest in Ghost of Yotei, and you can now move on to the Yotei Six.
