While the main story of Ghost of Yotei concludes with the end credits, the adventure continues through the expansive post-game mission titled A Haunted Land. This quest activates immediately after the final cinematic sequence, directing players to uncover hidden challenges and deepen their mastery of combat techniques.

Upon starting this new chapter, journey to the recently unlocked Teshio Ridge area, accessible during The Kitsune storyline. Navigate northward to Owl Mountain where an ethereal golden bird will appear to mark the path toward Master Enomoto. Traverse wind-swept paths until discovering a bridge adorned with carved animal totems, where a pivotal confrontation triggers the quest’s commencement.

This extended mission offers 8-12 hours of gameplay, blending exploratory freedom with challenging combat scenarios. Below lies a breakdown of critical objectives and strategies for completion.

Mastering Post-Game Objectives

The quest comprises four interconnected phases, each building upon previous accomplishments.

Kusarigama Training: Initial Trials

Engage Master Enomoto’s combat instruction after assisting him in eliminating lingering foes. Select your preferred combat style (stealth or direct engagement) before acquiring the Kusarigama from an owl-carved pedestal. Complete weapon tutorials involving bamboo cutting and statue destruction, then test skills against enemy groups. Journey to Enomoto’s mountain dojo through precarious terrain, where the Ferocious Whirlwind technique becomes available – perfect for overwhelming multiple adversaries.

Clearing Enemy Outposts

Deploy your training against two key Nine Tails strongholds. Infiltrate Snow Drift Springs through environmental puzzle-solving and hostage liberation. Subsequently assault Soya Port along the Sarufutsu River, employing combat prowess to dismantle enemy forces and free captives. Completing both locations unlocks enhanced abilities at celestial shrines.

Advanced Combat Challenges

Return to Enomoto’s dojo to master the Claw and Talon maneuver, expanding your offensive capabilities. Face an emotional showdown with the master’s treacherous grandson and his Nine Tails allies. Prove comprehensive weapon proficiency by activating all skill-bestowing shrines across Ezo, culminating in a ceremonial strike against a stone monument.

Final Confrontations

Eradicate remaining enemy encampments featuring intricate puzzles and tactical battles. Upon total liberation, reunite with Enomoto at Red Crane Inn for narrative closure and meaningful interactions with liberated villagers whose dialogues evolve based on your actions.
