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.
