How to solve all Mountain Reliquaries in Ghost of Yotei

Before we begin with the puzzles, it’s important to note that they can be completed in any order without any issue. However, solving them incorrectly may make things more complicated. Therefore, be sure to save your game progress in Ghost of Yotei before attempting each puzzle.

1) Reliquary of Courage

• Location: Yotei Grasslands

The puzzle mentions, “A boy was lost and alone, but wolves came from every corner to guide him, their eyes gazing at the true Mount Yotei.”

Solution

To solve the puzzle, you need to rotate all four fox statues so they face Mount Yotei to the west. Here's a simple way to do it:

• Spin the right side statue thrice
• Spin the left side statue twice
• Spin the middle statue thrice

2) Reliquary of Strength

• Location: Ishikari Plain

The puzzle is described as, “The mountain raised the boy as her own. Demons looked away from them in fear. But the wolf watched them both, ready to provide aid.”

Solution

There are three statues with red demon masks that must face away from the shrine, while the single fox statue without a mask must face towards the reliquary. The challenge lies in the fact that rotating one statue also rotates the one beside it. Once you start spinning them, it can turn into a tricky puzzle, almost like a tangled web.

That’s why it’s best to save your gameplay progress beforehand to avoid issues. It’s recommended to not spin the fox statue. Instead, only rotate the three masked statues and make sure they face opposite the reliquary. Here’s how to do it:

• Spin the middle mask statue once
• Spin the left mask statue twice
• Spin back the middle mask statue once
• Spin the front right statue twice

Solution

There will be four fox statues, and you need to make all those face the reliquary pillar in the middle. Since spinning one statue also spins the adjacent one, follow this solution:

First things first, shoot fire arrows at the base of all the statues to melt the snow. If you don’t have enough, you can take more from the nearby stand. It's important to note that you must have upgraded the Hankyu Bow to shoot fire arrows.
