Although the main part of the mission takes place in Chapter 2, there is a task you must complete before that if you want to progress with these two targets. This is The Way of the Odachi quest, which can be found in Chapter 1. You can read more about how to complete that quest here. In short, the quest will unlock your Odachi for use, along with letting you slay some of Lord Saito’s forces.

Apart from that quest, you will also need to have completed the following targets’ quests to continue with The Saito Brothers assassination:

Both of the above targets are crucial to finishing Chapter 1 of the game. Since The Saito Brothers quest takes place during Chapter 2, you must complete the aforementioned targets and begin Chapter 2.

Walkthrough for The Saito Brothers in Ghost of Yotei (Chapter 2)

Ghosts of the Past

Your first objective is simple: return home. Many players have reported that they are unable to start this encounter. As mentioned earlier, you must complete the quests listed above.

Once that happens, go back home and head to the courtyard. You will find Jubei waiting there. Get ready for back-to-back cutscenes, flashbacks, and dialogue segments. This part is simple, as you will walk alongside Jubei and reminisce about the past. This will culminate in a game of zeni-hajiki.

You will likely remember this game from the Sleight of Hand quest. Once the game ends, another short cutscene will play, resulting in a chance meeting between Oyuki, the Kitsune, and Jubei.

The Storm Breaks

The next part of the story takes you to Oshima Coast Gatehouse. The map location for this is marked in the image above. Once you arrive, head to the front gate and meet Oyuki. Together, open the gate and proceed inside.

A dying soldier will give you information about the events that transpired. Atsu and Oyuki will then resolve to find Jubei.

  • You will ride on horseback until you reach the burning village destroyed by the Spider and the Dragon. Here, you will reunite with Jubei, and a short cutscene will play out.
  • Together, the three of you will ride forward until you link up with the rest of the Matsumae and ride forward to Oshima Coast. You will charge headfirst into gunfire (L1 + R1 on horseback) and break through the gunner wall.
  • Defeat Lord Saito’s men in the area and follow Jubei. Find a good vantage point to observe the situation from.
  • Enter the Gatehouse after sundown, and make your way forward while assassinating any enemies in your way. Squeeze through the gap in the wall to start the next section.

Tanegashima and Escape

You will notice the citizens being held hostage by your foes. Jubei will step in to draw their attention, letting Atsu take the newly acquired Tanegashima and use it from the roof. Use your Spyglass to spot a number of gunpowder crates in the back.

Blow them up to cause a distraction and defeat the rest of Saito’s forces. Afterward, rescue Kiku (Jubei’s daughter) and escape from the fort. A cutscene will play, marking the end of this mission and leading you to the next objective.

Echoes of the Storm

Head to the Benten Port Town, and you will meet with a Matsumae soldier. The location of the same will be marked in the image seen above. You will be able to reunite with Jubei and Kiku.

  • Initially, you will go through a segment with Kiku, where you select flowers for a flower arrangement. The order does not seem to matter.
  • Afterward, you will have to sneak over the castle gate and get to the medicine. Make sure to grab any other supplies you see in the area.
  • Once you have the medicine, a short cutscene will play out, after which you have to follow the soldier to talk to Jubei.
  • Your next step will be to head to the lighthouse and take down the Dragon.
  • Climb up to a vantage point to observe the situation before charging in alongside the Matsumae. Defeat all of Saito’s forces to proceed ahead.
  • Run to the lighthouse while avoiding fire from the Dragon’s ship. Chase the Dragon as he climbs up the ladder to escape. Unfortunately, he manages to get away in the chaos of the bombardment.

To Catch a Spider

Return back and meet up with Oyuki and Jubei to plan your next move. Since the Dragon escaped, plan to go after the Spider. Your next step will be to meet Oyuki near Lord Tamura’s estate. The map locations for both will be shown in the images above.

  • Talk to Oyuki at the marked location to progress the quest. You will discuss the Spider and the Dragon as you approach Lord Tamura’s residence.
  • Once you get closer, Kiku will appear in front of you and offer her help with sneaking inside. Fortunately, she knows the way inside, so just follow her.
  • Look through your Spyglass to plan your attack forward. Kiku will further help you out by finding you the way inside and unlocking the door.
  • Make your way to the garden, and eventually the guesthouse. Assassinate any enemies you see while under the cover of stealth. However, even if stealth breaks, it isn’t a huge issue.
  • Once inside, a short cutscene will play out, after which you will start the boss fight against the Spider. Utilize the Ghost Stance to quickly dispatch the additional enemies before focusing on the Spider.

A Wolf’s Pack

Head back to meet Jubei and Oyuki. Follow Jubei to see the Spider, so that you can use him as bait for his brother, the Dragon. However, before that happens, Jubei and Atsu decide to train Kiku first. Head to the above shown location to get started.

  • You will first spar with Kiku. Execute Perfect Parries and attack her at the right time to earn points.
  • Afterward, follow Jubei, who will lead you to Oyuki, who will then start a map-making session involving Kiku and Atsu.
  • Your next task is to search the nearby forest for mushrooms. Once that is complete, a wolf will appear, prompting you to follow her.
  • Follow the wolf and free her friend. Return back to Oyuki and Jubei to round out your trip. The entire group will make their way to the temple to set up camp for the night.

Upon waking up, return to Matsumae castle to prepare for the Spider’s execution.

The Reckoning

The plan is set. The Spider will act as bait for his brother, the Dragon. However, the Matsumae are going to be lying in wait, ready to ambush them both. Talk to Jubei to execute your plan.

The plan seems to have worked at first, but it ends up backfiring, as Saito attacks the fortress, which is left undefended at the moment. The Dragon arrives alongside his father, and the Spider breaks free. This culminates in a boss fight against the Dragon, with the Spider supporting him by shooting you from the side.

After this, you give an unsuccessful chase after the Spider. Meanwhile, the fortress is bombarded, giving you a new objective: finding Jubei and Kiku. This search leads you to the temple you visited previously. Kiku is alive and well; however, Jubei and Oyuki are nowhere to be found.

Take Kiku and escape the Coast, and take her home. This will end the walkthrough for The Saito Brothers quest in Ghost of Yotei.
