Ghost of Yotei Ainu Items Guide | All Locations and Uses

In Ghost of Yotei, **Ainu Items** are rare cultural artifacts distinguished by their blue glow and firefly markers. Collecting these items allows players to upgrade the Sitturanyu Outfit through trades with Kaeka the Weaver in Husko Kotan. Their scattered placements across Ezo encourage exploration while deepening the game’s lore.

Key Features of Ainu Items

  • Appearance: Found near twisted green trees or unique landmarks, glowing faintly with fireflies nearby.
  • Spawn Mechanics: Fixed locations and inventory order; some may appear in multiple spots, but only one counts per type.

Utility and Rewards

  • Kaeka the Weaver: Located in Nayoro Wilds, she exchanges Ainu Items for Robe materials to enhance stealth armor abilities.
  • Quest Integration: Items like The Ainu Heirloom and A Drink With a Stranger unlock additional narrative depth and bonuses.
