Legend speaks of Yoshimoto, a ruthless outlaw whose deceptive hospitality masks a brutal agenda in Ghost of Yotei’s wilderness. Disguised as a friendly wanderer, he ensnares unsuspecting wayfarers with offers of shelter before mercilessly ending their lives. Survivors recount his chilling trademark – a grin frozen on his face during these atrocities, now synonymous with dread across the region.
The authorities have issued a substantial reward for neutralizing this threat. Hunters must exercise extreme caution, as Yoshimoto’s cunning and combat prowess make him a formidable adversary. Below we detail the steps to successfully confront this dangerous fugitive.
Initiating the Yoshimoto Hunt
Launch your pursuit by visiting the wanted postings near Yotei’s Shadow Inn within the Grasslands region. After fast-traveling to the location, approach the board where Kojiro stands guard. Activate the interaction prompt (R2) to browse available contracts. Select the notice featuring a sinister, wide-brimmed hat and unsettling grin – unmistakable markers of Yoshimoto’s identification.
Tracking and Defeating the Target
Upon accepting the contract, intelligence indicates Yoshimoto’s last sightings occurred near Tranquil Falls along Sarubetsu River. Navigate downstream until reaching the cascades, then scan the eastern bank for faint lantern glows – particularly challenging during daylight. This marks the Wanderer’s Rest Camp, Yoshimoto’s deadly trap for exhausted travelers.
Examine the abandoned site to uncover evidence of the outlaw’s methods. His strategy involves creating false safe havens to ambush victims. To draw him out, interact with the central firepit to ignite it as bait. Shortly afterward, a stranger will appear, feigning concern about Yoshimoto’s imminent arrival and urging your departure.
During the ensuing confrontation, your companion Atsu provokes the interloper by mocking Yoshimoto’s reputation. This triggers the man’s true identity to surface. Prepare for an intense sword duel where only one combatant will survive – ensure it’s not you. Emerge victorious to claim your reward and cleanse the region of this menace.
