Storylines
Part 16 of 26 in Jin's Journey
Found in
- Kishibe VillageKishibe Village is a Mongol-occupied settlement in Otsuna, near Omi Village. You can free it on its own or during the story tale Ghosts from the Past.
- Omi VillageOmi Village in Kubara is Jin's childhood home and the seat of Clan Sakai. You return in Act 2 to recover your father's armor, and the village is central to the final tale.
- ToyotamaToyotama is the central region of Tsushima, between Izuhara and Kamiagata. Act 2 plays out here: you rally allies, liberate Yarikawa and march on Castle Shimura, while side tales for Norio, Yuna and Yuriko open up.
Good to know
- Act 2: Retake Castle Shimura. It unlocks after A New Horizon.
- It starts at Omi Village in Kubara, Toyotama.
- Rewards: Sakai Clan Armor, Blowgun and Poison Dart.
- The Sakai Clan Armor gives a Standoff bonus.
- You compose a haiku at your father's grave.
- It is the only story tale whose objectives change with your side progress: if Kishibe Village is already freed, you get the reeds from a fishing hut by Omi Lake.
- Two Yuriko side tales run alongside it: The Art of Seeing, and The Proud Do Not Endure.
What you do
Head home to Omi Village and go into your family's estate. Yuriko takes you to see Taichi and then to your father's grave, then go home and put on your father's armor. Three Straw Hat Ronin call you out at the gate, and you fight them.
The Blowgun
Go with Yuriko to the training grounds near Omi Lake. She needs reeds from the old crossing by Kishibe Village, which Mongols hold. Grab them quietly from under the bridge or free the village first. Then gather three purple flowers at her hidden camp so she can make poison.
Testing it
Yuriko worries poison dishonors Clan Sakai but helps anyway. Test the blowgun by hitting one of three Straw Hats below a hill with a Poison Dart, then return to her.
Tips
Fast travel back to Omi Village after the reeds. Your first blowgun kill after this tale triggers a short flashback to Lord Shimura. Finish Yuriko's two side tales before A Reckoning in Blood.
Jin SakaiJin Sakai is the samurai you play in Ghost of Tsushima and the Iki Island expansion. He is Lord Shimura's nephew and the last lord of Clan Sakai. After the Mongol landing he trades the samurai code for stealth and fear, and the people start calling him the Ghost.- YurikoYuriko is the elderly servant who helped raise Jin after his mother died. She knows plants that heal, cause visions and kill. In Ghosts from the Past and her side tales she teaches Jin to make poison and hallucination darts.
- Sakai Clan ArmorThe Sakai Clan Armor is the armor of Jin's father, Lord Kazumasa Sakai, which Jin reclaims at Omi Village during Ghosts from the Past. It boosts melee damage and health and extends your Standoff streak, so it is the set for open fights.
- Sakai Clan HelmetSakai Clan Helmet is a helmet you receive while playing "Ghosts from the Past", from Jin's Journey. It is a story reward, so the tale is the only way to get it.
- Sakai MaskSakai Mask is a mask you get by finishing "Ghosts from the Past", from Jin's Journey. It is a story reward, so playing the tale is the only way to add it.
