Which Order Should You Fight the Yotei Six in Ghost of Yotei?

by

When I first started playing Ghost of Yotei, I quickly learned that the whole point of the game is to take down the Yotei Six. They’re the main bad guys, and Atsu is out for revenge because they killed her family and left her to die. But because it’s an open world, it can be a little confusing figuring out where to even *begin*. So, I wanted to put together a guide to the best place to start fighting the Yotei Six in Ghost of Yotei – and don’t worry, it won’t have any spoilers! I just want to help you figure out which direction you should head in.

Where Should You Start in Ghost of Yotei?

Interrogate to Find Out More Information From Enemies

Our quest began in the Ishikari Plain, where we aimed to track down the Oni, the individual responsible for attempting to harm Atsu. There are many good reasons for players to begin their search for the Oni in this area. First, it’s the most accessible region from Atsu’s starting point in the Yotei Grasslands; players simply need to head northeast to find a gated path guarded by the samurai of the Matsumae clan. Exploring the Ishikari Plain will reveal significant story details that are best discovered on your own, and it’s where you can find the Yari Master, who can unlock a powerful weapon, as well as a Storyteller who will share the Tale of the Undying Samurai – granting you excellent early-game armor. You’ll be spending a considerable amount of time in the Ishikari Plain while pursuing the Oni, making it an ideal place to start, familiarize yourself with the game’s mechanics, and witness how the story unfolds.

You can discover more about the Yotei Six and where to find them by defeating enemies and questioning them – they’ll share clues and add locations to your map. We suggest heading north to Teshio Ridge to hunt the Kitsune after completing the Oni storyline. Once you’ve done that, it will be easier to figure out where to go next.

Does it Matter Where I Start in Ghost of Yotei?

To be honest, the order in which you challenge the Yotei Six doesn’t really matter. Players are free to choose their own path or let the story guide them. The game is built to allow for flexible progression, but it will gently steer you away from areas you aren’t ready for yet. Ghost of Yotei is all about making your own choices and experiencing Atsu’s quest for revenge, so feel comfortable starting with any mission and switching between them – you’ll naturally progress through the story. For the best experience in Ezo, simply complete quests as you feel like it, without worrying about a specific order. This means you can clear out bandit camps, collect bounties, listen to stories, and follow the story at your own pace by selecting the golden icons and cards on the map.
