Found in
Jogaku TempleJogaku Temple is a monk pagoda in Jogaku, the northernmost temple on Tsushima. You free it from the Mongols and use it as a base for the attack on Port Izumi.- KamiagataKamiagata is the snowy northern region of Tsushima and the setting for Act 3. It is thinly settled and harsh, and it is where you chase Khotun Khan to his final stronghold at Port Izumi.
- Port IzumiPort Izumi is a northern trading port that Khotun Khan turns into his last stronghold. Your final assault on the Khan in Eternal Blue Sky happens here.
Good to know
- Act 3: Kill the Khan. It follows Heart of the Jito.
- It starts at Jogaku Temple in Jogaku, Kamiagata.
- You can talk to four allies before it starts: Lady Masako, Sensei Ishikawa, Norio and Kenji.
- The Khan fights like a brute and switches between all four weapon types, so every stance gets used.
- The title likely refers to the Eternal Blue Sky of Tengrism, the traditional Mongol religion.
- The next tale is The Tale of Lord Shimura.
What you do
Talk with Yuna, optionally chat with your four allies, then talk to Yuna again to set off for Port Izumi. Beat back the Mongol reinforcements, regroup with Yuna and travel with the group to meet Norio. Then sneak into the port and find a high spot to locate the Khan.
Fighting the Khan
The Khan changes weapons through the fight, so watch what he's holding and switch to the matching stance. Keep resolve banked for healing, since the fight runs in more than one stage.
Tips
Finish any upgrades and gear changes before you talk to Yuna the second time. Once the cutscene moves everyone to Port Izumi, the tale runs straight to its end.
What happensSpoilerShow
The Khan tries to escape after your first clash, and you have to stop him. The final round is fought on his ship while you are poisoned and other enemies close in. You win, and the tale ends with Jin reuniting with Yuna and heading back to Jogaku Temple.
