Twin Wolves, Twin Hearts quest (The Oni) in Ghost of Yotei: Walkthrough

The Twin Wolves, Twin Hearts mission begins at the northern border of Ishikari Plain. Open your map and track the Golden Gingko Leaf, which leads you to the northern Matsumae Camp. On your way, you may encounter Masked Man’s Quarry, which can be cleared for loot and a new technique if you haven’t done so already.

Approach the camp from the southern road, keeping the cliff on your right. Follow the path to the entrance and slip past the guards. Inside, you’ll find Jubei talking with Commander Wada. Despite her objections, Jubei joins you, officially starting the mission.

Find the Mountain Shrine

Follow Jubei along the winding trail toward the Azure Wind Shrine, where Mad Goro is hiding in disguise. Dialogue choices will appear as you travel, but they do not affect the mission; pick whatever feels natural.

Once at the shrine, take a moment to loot the area. Check tents, rocks, stumps, and the horses for resources. Small items, like bottles of sake, can help later with distractions.

Stealth through the bounty hunters

The shrine area is patrolled by bounty hunters. You can fight them, but stealth is recommended. Use tall grass for hiding and grapple points to quietly reach archers and patrolling enemies.

Distract guards with empty sake bottles to take out multiple enemies at once. Move along cliffs, ledges, and rope bridges to stay undetected, and make sure to loot chests and resources along the way; they’re worth it.

Reach Mad Goro

After clearing the bounty hunters, follow Jubei to the destroyed bridge. Use grapple points to cross ledges safely, then climb through caves and ledges until you reach Mad Goro, disguised as a monk.

Purify at the well and bow at the shrine. Doing this grants the Charm of Hachiman and triggers a second enemy encounter.

Obtain Oni’s Flame

Mad Goro rewards you with Oni’s Flame, a Quickfire weapon. Equip it by holding R2 and pressing right on the D-pad. Slashing with Oni’s Flame sets enemies on fire, causing panic and damage over time. It’s particularly effective against shielded foes. You can craft more Oni’s Flame at camp or buy it from vendors like Taro.

Defeat the Ronin and progress

Use Oni’s Flame to defeat the Ronin guarding the shrine pathway. Afterward, Mad Goro reveals a secret entrance to the Oni’s castle: an abandoned mine along the coast. With this, Twin Wolves, Twin Hearts comes to an end, setting up your next mission, The Tale of the Oni.
