The highly anticipated sequel, Ghost of Yotei, is finally here. Players are exploring the new region of Ezo as the shinobi Atsu. Many are discovering a powerful secret tied to the first game’s legendary hero.
This secret involves the iconic gear of Jin Sakai. His Ghost Mask and Storm Blade are hidden within the game world. Finding them requires a specific and challenging side quest.
A Pilgrimage to the Oshima Coast
The journey begins in the Oshima Coast region. Players must first purchase a special map from a cartographer. This map marks the location of a hidden altar on a hillside.
Following the map leads to a shrine entrance. There, an NPC named Ugetsu the Storyteller awaits. He speaks of a legendary blade and a ghost from the past.
Following the Shadow Fox
A path of cleared bamboo reveals a fox shrine. Players must bow to pay respects. This summons a unique shadow fox to guide them.
The fox leads through environmental puzzles and obstacles. The destination is a beautiful area called the Glade of Remembrance. A chest here contains a haiku written by Jin Sakai himself, confirming his presence in Ezo long ago.
Confronting the Past in a Lost Den
The trail continues to a Lost Shinobi Den. Inside are direct artifacts from Jin’s life. These include his horse saddle, flute, and his Clan Sakai Stag Helmet, which players can claim immediately.
Climbing out of the den leads to a cave. At its center rests the legendary Storm Blade on an altar. According to sources at IGN, this moment is a key fan-service highlight.
The Duel for the Storm Blade
Attempting to take the blade triggers an ambush. A supernatural thief, a Nine Tails, steals the sword and flees. Players must fight off its minions before giving chase.
The pursuit ends in a dueling ring under a crimson tree. Here, players face the Sword Thief in a one-on-one duel. Victory grants permanent ownership of the Storm Blade and unlocks the powerful “Dance of Wrath” technique.
Earning the Ghost Mask
After the duel, Ugetsu the Storyteller reappears. He narrates the conclusion of Jin Sakai’s story, revealing he spent his final days in Ezo. He directs Atsu to Jin’s gravesite nearby.
Players must approach the tombstone and bow. This final act of respect makes Jin’s iconic Ghost Mask materialize. It can then be collected and equipped from the inventory menu.
This hidden quest provides a direct and emotional link to the original Ghost of Tsushima, rewarding dedicated players with its most famous relics.
