• Prepare the horse
• Travel with Lord Shimura
• Clear the way to the lighthouse
• Travel with Lord Shimura
• Reach the Mongol alert
• Reach the entrance gate with Lord Shimura
• Reach the lighthouse

Prepare the horse

This task begins automatically after completing Shadow of the Samurai, and serves as a kind of introduction to the second region of the world map - Toyotama. After watching the cut scenes, you and Yuna head towards the fortress. When you get there, talk to Lord Shimura.

Before you leave the stronghold, you can talk to your allies - Ishikawa, Kenji, Taka and Masako. You will also find traders in the stronghold. After resupplying, go to your horse. Talk to Yuna and jump on the horse.

Travel with Lord Shimura

Follow Lord Shimura. Dialogue options will appear throughout the ride, but again they do not play a significant role.

Ultimately, you have to reach an open space next to burning buildings. Shimura notices a Mongol patrol in the distance and decides to attack them.

Clear the way to the lighthouse

You can start attacking enemies from horseback, although nothing bad will happen if you willingly jump off it or if you are thrown off it after someone hits your horse.

Remember that the archers can now fire a few shots in a row. This is characteristic to the second region of Tsushima. Be prepared to skilfully dodge or parry a few shots in a row.

Travel with Lord Shimura

After dealing with the opponents, return to the horse and travel with Lord Shimura to the Mongol-occupied Fort Ito.

Start engaging opponents next to the main gate and those that appear in the area after the fight begins. You don't have to protect Lord Shimura - he'll handle himself just fine. During the fighting, watch out m.in. new defense dogs that can easily bite Jin if their red attack is successful.

Reach the Mongol alert

Enter through the main gate of Fort Ito. Move towards the location with an alarm and start attacking any opponents in the vicinity.

You'll encounter stronger opponents (so-called brutes) and if you've already unlocked the Moon Stance, use it to fight them. Fortunately, kunais are also effective, you can use them to expose your enemies to Katana attacks.

Reach the entrance gate with Lord Shimura

After disposing of the enemies occupying the fort, retreat to the Fort Ito entrance gate. You have to deal with the Mongol reinforcements that arrived at the Fort. During this battle, watch out for yellow adversaries who can plant bombs - move quickly away from the blast zone.

Reach the lighthouse

The Akashima Lighthouse is adjacent to the Fort. Approach the location and listen to the conversation. Enter the lighthouse and reach the top of it. Start a fire at the lighthouse.

After returning downstairs, listen to conversations with a peasant girl and Norio the monk. Follow Norio to the north gate. The quest ends after reaching the gate.

Rewards for completing the mission: Legend Increase (xp), A Message in Fire story quest, The Walls of Yarikawa story quest, Ghosts from the Past story quest, additional side quests in Toyotama region unlocked.
