Ghost of Yotei: Soya Port Walkthrough

Learn how to complete Soya Port in Ghost of Yotei, rescue Hachiro, and collect every reward hidden across Teshio Ridge.

The Soya Port in Ghost of Yotei throws you straight into one of the most gripping side tales in the Teshio Ridge region. It’s a short but Lethal difficulty mission. Here, you will deal with the Nine Tails forces, so expect some serious resistance. Let’s go through how you can start this mission, finish it without too much chaos.

How To Start Soya Port in Ghost of Yotei

You can only start the Soya Port side tale once you have reached Teshio Ridge during the main story quest called The Kitsune. From there, move north past the Sarufutsu River until you hit the map’s upper edge. The mission doesn’t need to be accepted anywhere; it begins automatically as soon as you enter the camp area.

You will know you are close when the environment starts to change. The docks, smoke from forges, and stationed guards will give it away. The moment you step into that territory, the Nine Tails enemies will notice you are in their space, and the Soya Port Side Tale begins.

It is part of the Yotei Six Camp Liberation chain of missions. Clear up this area and free up more of Teshio Ridge from enemy control.

Once the mission starts, you have two major goals to complete:

Eliminate all Nine Tails enemies
Find and free Hachiro the Weaponsmith

You will face mixed enemy types here: archers on higher ground, swordsmen patrolling the camp, and a few guards stationed near the central forge. The best way to start is by entering from the left side of the camp. That path lets you sneak behind a few patrols without drawing too much attention.

If you prefer the silent approach, use stealth kills to thin out the numbers. When you get closer to the middle of the camp, listen carefully, and you will hear hammering sounds. That’s Hachiro, the blacksmith you need to rescue. He’s being held at the forge area near the docks, guarded by a single soldier. Take that guard out first, then hold R2 to free him.

Once Hachiro’s free, he will actually join the fight. He can’t be killed, but stay near him. It helps to take down the rest of the enemies faster. If the camp goes on full alert after the rescue, switch to direct combat. Your wolf companion can be a huge help here; it assists in chain attacks, supports you in standoffs, and can even prevent lethal blows from landing.

Soya Port Reward

Here is the main key item you should collect before leaving the area:

Charm of Shattering Strike
- Once you finish the mission, you will earn this charm as a primary reward. It lets your Kusarigama break enemy shields with explosive force, causing shrapnel to stagger nearby foes.

Apart from this, you will also find an Altar of Reflection and Nine Tails Puzzle Box in this mission.
