The Great Jigoku Gambit Walkthrough in Ghost of Yotei
Shiro the Swindler Bounty
Before you begin the quest, you need to take on the Shiro the Swindler bounty by talking to Kojiro at the bounty board in Ishikari Market in Ishikari Plain. Walk up to Kojiro and press R2 to talk. Kojiro will then say he needs your help tackling a bounty that requires a specific set of deadly skills. Inquire further, and Kojiro will tell you of Shiro the Swindler.
Shiro is a notorious thief who has now come to Ishikari Plain. He’s your target, and you have to be careful because Shiro is exceptional with a rifle. Finish this conversation to begin the quest.
Shiro’s last-known location is the Jigoku Fortress, so that’s where you need to go. Head to the fortress and make your way to the cliffs nearby. Take a right from the fortress gate to get there. You’ll find an abandoned camp here. Investigate the camp to find clues on Shiro, and a bounty hunter will sneak up, ready to claim the bounty on you.
Engage in a standoff with this hunter, and he’ll suddenly be shot from off-screen. Shiro will reveal himself to be a shooter and will bring up a proposal for you. He wants your help to get rich and offers exceptional pay to persuade you. The plan is to steal the Oni Raiders’ treasury from the fortress. This will officially begin the Great Jigoku Gambit quest.

Follow Shiro, and he’ll take you to a hidden vantage point overlooking the fortress’s outer yard. Kill all the raiders in this yard, and you’ll then have to open the gate to the bridge. Open the gate, and the alarms will sound off. Fight off the enemy reinforcements while Shiro covers you with his rifle.
Once the raiders are dealt with, follow Shiro along an alternate path to the inner courtyard. This is a parkour route that goes along the cliff to the side. The route will lead you to a side entrance, where you’ll once again have to fend off a few Oni Raiders.
After a lot of ruckus, the fortress’s commander will step out to fight you personally. This is a mini boss fight where you’ll face the rival one-on-one. As you finish off the fight, you’ll notice that Shiro betrayed you, stealing all the money for himself while you were busy fighting. This brings the quest to an end.
