Engage Saito’s Forces

Begin by infiltrating the establishment. Use environmental cover with your ally to approach the entrance. Eliminate the leftmost guard silently while your companion handles the other. Proceed inside to neutralize two additional guards before confronting the main group in the central hall.

Expect multiple waves of adversaries during the confrontation. After securing the area, ascend to claim your reward. Remain vigilant as external attackers will attempt to ambush you during departure. Clear these final opponents with assistance from your temporary ally.

Post-conflict, diffuse the situation when the samurai becomes distrustful. Select either dialogue option (“That’s false” or “You’ve given me ideas”) to secure your payment. This unlocks recurring access to the Zeni-Hajiki wagering game at the gambling venue.
