What to do inside the cave

The ronin guarding the gate charges you back to back. It's a good idea to use stealth to take out one or two of them quietly before fighting the rest head-on. However, charging in can work pretty well; you can use Oni's Flame in your Katana to take them.

After beating them, go through the wooden door they were guarding. You'll hear faint prayers deeper in the tunnels. In the next chamber, you'll see more ronin bowing to a skeleton in the corner. This shows how much they believe in the curse. Defeat them, using stealth again if you can or else you can charge in like before.

Once all the ronin are defeated, check the skeleton (who is tagged with a lot of swords) they were worshipping. You will find a note called The Curse of Kanemori on the table nearby.

Reward

Once you investigate the skeleton, The Face of a Demon quest will be marked as complete. Your reward is the Charm of Risk and Reward.
