How To Access the Yotei Six Quest in Ghost of Yotei

The Yotei Quest serves as the first major turning point in Ghost of Yotei. This is the fifth main tale in the game, unlocking after facing Saito in the fourth. Interestingly, there isn’t a map marker for this quest. You have to track down and question foes across the Yotei Grasslands to get information about this quest. Doing so will lead you across three branching storylines, “The Saito Brothers,” “The Oni,” and “The Kitsune.”

How To Access the Yotei Six Quest in Ghost of Yotei

There is no fixed method to start getting information about the Yotei Six. You will have to interrogate enemies in the Yotei Grasslands about them to progress. This mechanic incentivizes players to pay attention to the world-building the game is trying to do. Some of the more reliable places include:

Going to ambush spots set up by bounty hunters and roaming ronin.
Going south of The Old Inn to the meadows there.
Going alongside the riverbanks of the major rivers.

Once you do encounter a group of enemies in any of these locations, defeat all except for one of them. The last of them will start a cutscene automatically. Keep repeating this process until you get the chance to select one of the three branching paths.

Unlocking the First Path of the Yotei Six

The first lead will usually present itself at the river crossing southwest of The Old Inn. You will encounter a wandering ronin who will attempt to ambush you. After defeating him, you will get to ask him about one of three paths:

The Saito Brothers: Go to Horosaru Falls to learn Odachi techniques from Master Yoshida and unlock Ghost Stance.
The Oni: Go to the Ishikari Plains region to earn the Onryo Armor III.
The Kitsune: Get to Teshio Ridge to access Nine Tail gear along with smoke bombs and masks.

Keep in mind, you have to complete all three to progress. But the order does not matter.

Unlocking the Second Path of the Yotei Six

Ideally, the best way to choose the next branching path is to patrol the routes between The Old Inn, The Yotei’s Shadow Inn, and your home. Check either for ambushes or civilians being interrogated by ronin or bounty hunters. Once again, defeat the group of foes, leave one, and choose one of the remaining two paths.
