The beginning of the mission

The mission takes place in the same area that you have been exploring during Deon Island. This time, you star on the beach, near the ship where the boss battle took place. The Shrine shown in the above screenshot is the only spot of its kind all throughout the map, so you will be returning here, in case of failure. It should be pointed out that there is no way of unlocking any shortcut to this place. You have to complete this mission without any failure.

First of all, you should go right to explore the cave where you have earlier found a seppuku sword. This time around, you will find a Devil there, who should not be too much of a problem. Collect all the treasures and go deeper into the camp. The door to the shrine that you have visited before the boss battle is locked now and there is no way of opening it. It is a good idea to kill all of the opponents on the beach and collect the treasures, because you will have to come back here later on.

The village

After entering the village, you will notice that all sources of fire are gone, so the path to the further part of the village is wide and open. After crossing the gate, it is a good idea to enter the first house on the right [1], where you will find a few useful items. If you decide to walk around the house and enter the alley on the right, watch out for a samurai there [2]. If you are careless enough, he will jump down on you. Apart from that, the ladder of the watchtower on the right [3] is inaccessible. You can climb onto it using the watchtower on the left [4], but there is a warrior on the top.

Since the bonfire is gone, you will see the above view in front of you. It is a good idea to lure out the patrolling samurai and finish him out. The warriors [1] in the central part of the valley fight together, but before this happens, fire the bow, or the shotgun at the head of the one on the left. If fired at a relatively short distance, the shot will kill him where he stands, which will save you some effort.

As soon as you draw attention to yourself, watch out for the archer [2] on the platform where the water barrel used to be. To eliminate him quickly, take the alley on the left [3] and reach its end. Before you climb the ladder, you will have to deal with one more opponent on the porch to the right. At first glance, you may miss him, because he is sitting on the ground.

If you go to the right alley [4] you will encounter an opponent behind the house shown in the above screenshot. He is searching a corpse. Kill him and pick up the items. After you have eliminated all of the opponents within sight, enter the second part of the village.

Right after you enter, you will spot a samurai [1], whom you could easily eliminate with a shot to the head. Afterwards, go into the alley on the right [2] to collect goods there. While there, you will encounter two warriors. One of them is patrolling the area around the well, whereas the other one is staying at the back of the house. The best thing to do is walk around the house on the right, as a result of which you will be able to jump him.

After that, walk into the alley shown in the above screenshot [3] and defeat the warrior there. The path ahead will take you to the estate, but before that, you will have to eliminate the samurai with axe, who is patrolling the path[4].

The estate and mission ending

The residence surroundings are not too well-guarded, which is why you can easily collect all of the items around. Remember that wooden walls of the estate are easily broken and inside, there are opponents, so try to keep your distance from the building. It is good idea to cross the hole in the fence shown in the above screenshot, because the single samurai there is guarding some rare items.

The front side of the estate is not too well-guarded either, but in the alleys before the fence, there are several warriors. It is better to lure them out one after another, using any ranged weapon. Your task now is to reach one of the buildings from which you have started the abovementioned main mission. It should be noted that the entire cemetery has been excluded from this mission.

Go towards the beach along the small gorge. At the same time, eliminate several opponents here. Finally, you will have reached the building shown in the above screenshot. If you have some ammo on you, shoot the samurai shown in the above screenshot, by shooting him on the head. Inside, there are two more opponents, including the bandit commander, who is your target in this mission. He is slightly stronger than the rest of the opponents, but he is not too much of a threat, anyways.

Kill him to complete the mission. Make sure that you do not die here, or else you will have to start the mission over. After you kill the commander, and there are still some opponents that you haven't killed before, they will bow to you and will not be hostile.
