In Ghost of Yotei, players can undertake the Lost Scouts side mission, aiding a samurai leader in Ishikari Plain. This quest unlocks after meeting certain criteria. This guide outlines initiation steps, objectives, and rewards.
Starting the Lost Scouts Quest
This mission becomes accessible post-liberation of Masked Man’s Quarry Camp, requiring combat clearance. After securing the area, visit Matsumae Encampment north of the quarry. A Matsumae contact assigns players to locate four missing scouts at an outpost.
Completing the Mission
The following steps detail progression:
Locate the Outpost
Journey southeast from Matsumae Encampment to discover an attacked outpost. Three scout corpses and fleeing footprints are present. Track blood trails, then use your spyglass to spot surviving scouts battling Oni Raiders.
Engage Oni Raiders
Prioritize eliminating archers and flame-weapon adversaries via ranged attacks. Maneuver strategically against shielded and heavy opponents to minimize damage.
Scout Dialogue Options
Post-combat interaction offers choices:
- Falsify scout’s demise
- Accuse desertion
Selecting the first option allows the scout to escape quietly.
Report to Matsumae Commander
Return to base, inform the commander of events, and conclude the mission.
Mission Rewards
Completion grants 450 Mon currency and narrative progression.
