A Fiery Consequence quest (The Oni) in Ghost of Yotei: Walkthrough
To start the A Fiery Consequence quest in Ghost of Yotei, you must head southeast toward the Matsumae Encampment. It’s the camp just before the gate leading back to the Yotei Grasslands. Follow the Guiding Wind to reach the main gate.

At the gate, a Matsumae guard will block your entry. You won’t get through by force, so look for alternative routes into the camp. Scout the area and locate the right-side hillside path. This leads up to the partially constructed bridge area, where you can sneak in.

Find Mad Goro in the Matsumae Encampment
Climb the hill and follow the path until you reach the bridge under construction. You’ll notice scaffolding and bamboo beams across the gap.

Grapple across the bamboo beams and grab the Supply Chest at the end for resources.

Continue toward the ledge overlooking the camp, then use your Spyglass to identify key points:
- The training yard near the cliff edge.
- Jubei, standing near the tent above the training yard.
- A gap in the fence on the right side is your entry point.
Observe the path of Mad Goro and his captors; they will be heading toward the wooden hut at the edge of the camp. Wait for nightfall before moving in.

Free Mad Goro
Once dark, sneak through the fence and approach the hut. Speak with Mad Goro through the cell door. Promise to free him in exchange for information. You’ll get two dialogue options:
- “Their generosity has limits.”
- “A gilded cage is still a cage.”
Either works, and Goro will agree to cooperate.

Remove the planks covering the hole, then let Mad Goro smash through from inside. Use your Grappling Hook to break the weak wall section, and crawl through the opening.
Follow Jubei

After freeing Goro, you’ll run into Jubei, who will offer to lead you out safely. Follow him while choosing any dialogue prompts. Soon, fire streaks across the sky, indicating that the Oni Raiders have arrived to retaliate.
Defeat the Oni Raiders
Fight alongside Jube and take out enemies in waves. Prioritize archers first and keep moving to avoid fire attacks.

Use Smoke Bombs and Kunai to control groups, and parry aggressively. Clear the camp until a cutscene shows the Oni targeting the bridge.

Head to Defend the Bridge
Take the path toward the bridge. Engage the Yari-wielding Oni Raiders carefully. Their spears double as flamethrowers, so dodge or keep distance. Use the Dual Katana stance for crowd control.

Use the bo-hiya cannon and fire at advancing Oni squads. Then, swing with your Grappling Hook to reach Jubei and help him fight a heavily armored Oni Raider. Eventually, the Oni orders his men to destroy the bridge, throwing Atsu and Jubei into the river below.
Return to the Camp
Climb out of the river with Jubei. Follow him back toward the Matsumae camp. On the way, look for a small forest trail to the left to collect the Ainu Relic on a log.

After returning, the camp is mostly destroyed. During a cutscene, Atsu reveals the truth about the night her parents were killed under the gingko tree. Jubei pledges to help her thereon and mentions checking for Mad Goro’s survival.
With this, the A Fiery Consequence quest concludes. You can now proceed to the next mission, Twin Wolves, Twin Hearts, to continue the hunt for The Oni.
