The Old Inn Walkthrough | Ghost of Yotei

The Old Inn's a good place to find a lead on Saito and his gang.

The Old Inn will automatically unlock after completing the Prologue. As Atsu pays respect at her family's grave, a familiar wolf shows up again and marks the start of Chapter 1: The Lonewolf.

Optional Activities to Complete at Atsu's Home

・Before deciding to leave Atsu's Home, take some time to explore the area.

・Some things you can do first are pulling the nearby weeds, fixing Yone's Toro Lantern, playing a song to the grave, putting stacks of stones like Jubei used to, and checking out the Cold Forge (Upgrade your Katana with Metals, which you can collect from defeating Saito Outlaws, Oni Raiders, and Nine Tails).

・Head inside the house where you can read the Time-worn Note from the Yotei Six. It says there that this place is the home of a traitor to Lord Saito.

・You can also examine the Painting Supplies on the floor. Atsu will reminisce about the times where her father used to take her to places to practice.

・Near Yone's Garden, just outside the house, you can find one of Atsu's Memories. Revisit the past and you'll see Kengo and Yone enjoying the view of Mount Yotei. They tell you about the time when they visited the mountain. Yone was still pregnant with the twins and that the priests at the summit's shrine made omamori for them. So, once you visit that area later on in the Story, remember to grab the Mount Yotei Charms that are waiting for you.

・Go back to the gate and head left. You can see another Atsu's Memory by the fence. She'll remember her twin, Jubei, who once dreamed of becoming a Samurai. Return to the past again and talk to him. He secretly buried some money in a hole since he's planning on buying armor. When you get back to the present, dig up Jubei's Stash to get 200 Mon.

・If you haven't done this yet, fix Father's Bamboo Strike and test your blades to increase Atsu's Spirit.

1 Find The Old Inn

・Open the World Map and look for a Gold Ginkgo Leaf. This represents Atsu's Hunt. Head to these locations to track down The Yotei Six.

・The one you need to follow for this Quest is marked northwest from Atsu's Home.

・Call your Horse and start exploring! Take a detour and complete the Plum Crane Sumi-e. Similar to the names you painted on Atsu's obi belt during the Prologue, follow the broken lines to finish the Painting. You will get the Headband of Loss Gear as a reward.

・After this, you can call the Guiding Wind as you head to The Old Inn. You'll know you're near the area when the skies get darker.

・Dismount the Horse when you reach Yotei's Shadow Inn. You can read the Join Clan Saito Note by the gate.

2 Look for Leads on the Yotei Six at the Old Inn

・As Atsu gets near the entrance, a Settler will warn her about the trouble inside the Inn. Take this as a hint that you'll enter a fight soon.

・Head inside and face the Saito Outlaws. You'll soon be thrown out (while hitting a poor guy outside), and you'll get a tutorial for Standoffs and dodging arrows from Archers.

・Defeat the wave of enemies and unlock Onryo’s Howl that will intimidate them. This ability is activated when Atsu kills enemies without taking damage.

・After killing the outlaws, Atsu will talk to a Settler (remember the guy who was hit while fixing the sign earlier? That's him!) to get more information on the Yotei Six.

・Once the conversation is done, he'll invite Atsu to patch up in one of the rooms in the Old Inn, free of charge.

3 Explore the Old Inn

・When Atsu wakes up, climb down the ladder. There will be several Merchants you can talk to.

・Ran the Bowyer will speak to you first. Interact with her to check her wares. Here are the items you can buy from her:

Weapons: Hankyu (Bow) and Yumi (Longbow)

Ammo and Resources: Silk Fibers and Black Powder.

・Then, head outside the Inn. There will be a cutscene where Atsu is stopped by a member of the Clan Matsumae.

・Before things get more heated, Kojiro will intervene.

・Approach and interact with Kojiro the Bounty Broker. He'll offer a 'business proposal' about Bounties in exchange for Mons.

・When you check the Board, these will be the available targets:

Smiling Yoshitomo - 750 Mon

Snake's Assassin (Oh look, that's you!) - 1,000 Mon

Crow Genzo - Metsubushi & 750 Mon

・You can take as many Bounty Posters as you want. Even your own!

・Ginji the Armorer's store is also nearby. Talk to him for Gear Upgrades. He also has some Armor Dyes for sale.

・Next, look for Isaburo near here. He's a cartographer that was sent here after he accidentally spilled tea on the wrong lord. You can check the Traveller's Maps he has for sale. These are useful for revealing secret locations across Ezo.

・Isaburo will also request Atsu to look for a Monk named Gessho. This will be for the Lost in Reflection Side Tale. Complete this by visiting the nearby Lost Monk's Camp. Talk to Gessho and he'll guide you to an Altar of Reflection. While you reflect, you can unlock a Skill. After this, some Saito Outlaws will attack you. Defeat them and protect Gessho! You'll be rewarded with 200 Mon.

・With this, you have finally explored most of Yotei's Shadow Inn. Head to the Next Main Quest or complete some Activities!
