Burning Village - entrance

After saving your progress you should go back near the gate and collect the treasures hidden on the rooftops [1]. On one of the ledges you can find a Kodama [2]. Send it to a Shrine and go down. Use the wooden catwalk to get the treasures and after that jump down. There are a few enemies here that must be eliminated. In order not to miss any of them, use the Shrine as a waypoint.

If you decide to use the passage on the left [1], you will have to face one of the dwellers. You should defeat him because, right after the right turn, there is Yoki waiting for you. But if you decide to use the passage on the right [2] you still must defeat another dweller behind wooden barricades. The spawn place for Yoki will be behind you. It is better to use the left passage because you will have more space to fight with Yoki.

The rules for fighting with a Yoki are still the same - the demon is still vulnerable to fire and you can't stay in Yokai Realm. What is also important is that when you defeat the demon it disappears just like the one in the mansion.

When you defeat the demon you notice that the road ahead is blocked by a wall of fire. Don't go near it to avoid unnecessary damage. You should summon the Revenant, shown on the picture [1], because it usually goes straight into the fire which gives you free Glory points. The road leads to the left [2] but be careful because when you enter the passage you will be noticed by an archer. The best way to deal with him is to run into the passage and immediately turn right. You must run around the building where the archer is.

When you do this, use the path behind and you will see a view just like on the picture above. Near the ladder there is the samurai that you can lure out easily. Remember to lure him to this place because when you stay near the well you will again be in the archer's reach. If you want to have more space, then you must go to the rear of the house on the right [2] and eliminate the warrior which hides there. Defeat both enemies and get on the roof of the building. You must get quickly to the ladder, use the interaction button and climb it as fast as you can. It is important to do it like that because the archer will try to shoot you down and his arrows deal a considerable amount of damage.

Burning Village - rooftops and alleys

When you get to the rooftop get close to the archer and eliminate him. After that, you should go down and hit the stone on the well to get a hidden item. When you are on the rooftop on which the archer stood before you will see the view similar to the picture above. In order to continue you must use this path. The center of the rooftop [1], which you can see on the picture, will collapse when you stay on it and inside the building there is an enemy waiting for you. You can avoid the trap, get the item [2] on the last rooftop and use the ladder to go down.

What is important is that behind the ladder, under the small wooden platform there is a Kodama. You should invite it to the Shrine. There is another place with Yoki so you should visit the house with the collapsing rooftop so you won't get ambushed when you face that bouncy enemy.

When you defeat the enemy inside the house with collapsing rooftop leave it and you will find yourself in the alley on the picture above. In the alley [1] on the right there is a single warrior. In the house on the right [2] you can find a heavy armored samurai but also there is a chest with something useful. The house on the left [3] may seem like a save place but there is a sleeping dweller so don't let your guard down. When you finish searching through the house go outside. There is a spawn point for Yoki but ignore it and go left. You should reach the path at the outskirts of the location. You can jump into it from the roof of the building with the ladder which allows you to eliminate a dweller on the path by using a jumping attack.

Take the treasures and walk straight ahead. Soon, you will encounter another dweller, sleeping in the grass. By using the passage you can avoid fighting the Yoki but you will have to fight with a few lesser enemies. After that you will reach the door to the building. When you leave it go left where you can see the scene just like on the picture above. You must defeat yet another dweller and use the ladder to climb on the guard tower. Alternatively, you can reach the ladder by using the passage on the other side of the location (right after you defeat the warrior and don't enter any of the house but the one with the broken roof) but it is better to clear the area and get the treasures even if you didn't fight with the Yoki below.

When you are on the guard tower, jump on the roof ahead of you. Walk around the burning part of the roof and use the wooden catwalk to reach the roofs on the right. When you do this you will be noticed by an enemy archer. Turn right so you won't be in his reach and, avoiding the fire, go to the edge of the roof. The archer is on the roof on the left. You can eliminate him by using your bow but the archer is not alone. When you start shooting at him you will be attacked by the samurai. Eliminate them in any order.

The roof on which they stood is broken which means that if you got on it, you would fall down and land right in front of a heavy armored samurai. Watch your steps and avoid the wooden part in the center [1]. Your task is to unlock the ladder on the picture above [2] which opens the shortcut. It allows you to save the time running on the roofs. When you activate the ladder face the opposite direction [3]. There is another area with a Yoki. When you go near the catwalk the Yoki will appear. You can fight with it on the roof or jump down near the ladder and finish the demon there. You can also jump down, wait for the demon to follow you, then use the ladder and pass the catwalk. The demon stays at the bottom for some time but you shouldn't wait too much because Yoki goes back where it was before and you must fight with it.

Burning Village - extinguishing the fire

Regardless of your choice, you are on the other side of the wall of fire. Your next goal is to push off the barrel, that you can see on the picture, on the ground. The water inside the barrel can extinguish the fire and open a perfect shortcut to the Shrine. Use the ladder or just jump down. The area is patrolled by one dweller. Defeat him and enter the alley behind the second house when facing the place where the barrel was.

Break the chest and turn right (on the left there is a wall of fire). Reach the ladder near the fence and climb up. You shouldn't encounter any enemies here. Use the interaction button to kick the barrel. By doing this you have unlocked the shortcut to the Shrine.

You can use the roofs to proceed further into the village but the roof of one of the houses is damaged (the third house). Inside of that house there are two dwellers but there is also a chest that is worth checking out.

If you stay on the roofs then you should know that on the near wooden catwalk there is a warrior with a spear which can't be seen because of the smoke. When you go around the hole he will charge at you. When this happens, an archer on a small bridge between the towers will start shooting at you. Defeat the spearman and reach the archer as fast as you can. When you are on the bridge you can jump down on a warrior beneath you and eliminate him by using the jumping attack. If you feel up to it you can do this but you will defeat only one warrior. The next two you must face in a regular fight. If you don't want to do this, use the ladder with the Revenant near the tower. Kick down the ladder and use it.

Exiting the village

When you are at the bottom, first, get on the rear of the house in front of you [1]. Defeat the samurai and take the items. If you haven't already defeated the warriors near the camp's gate then there is a good chance that when you enter the alley [2] you will encounter one of them patrolling the area. Defeat him and stick to the right side. Walk straight until you see the house with the dweller inside. Defeat him and take the treasure. You have now reach the point where you begin your exploration of this part of the camp. Search for more treasures and go back here to finally go through the gate.

Before you begin the fight for leaving the camp you should go back and climb the tower with the Revenant. From it, jump down the hole to the rooftop. On the right, on a catwalk between the roofs you can find an useful item and on the roof in front of you there is another Kodama.

Before you leave the camp you should break every barrel and chest to be sure that you haven't miss any of the treasures. You should also enter the house on the left on your way to the gate. Inside of it, near the body, you can find a piece of heavy armor. There is also a chest with some useful items. When you go through the gate turn right. Your goal is to reach the doors that you could see near the Shrine but you couldn't open them. Avoid guards and hard to access treasures, you will go back for them when you unlock the shortcut.

Defeat the guard with a torch that patrols the area and reach the hill on the picture. Even if you decide to defeat every enemy, don't go near the ship before you unlock the shortcut because it is a boss arena.

When you reach the door you can invite Kodama to the Shrine. The ghost is near the fence from the side of the ship. You can now use the amrita to prepare yourself for the upcoming battles.

The ship's area, the cave and the boss

The ship's surroundings consists mostly of two buildings and the bridge that leads to the boss arena. Here, you can encounter patrolling warriors, near the house on the right there is a samurai with a spear [1] and two warriors near the ship. One of the buildings has a broken roof [2] and inside of it there is Yoki. You can't open the door from the outside -in worst case you have to fight in a small arena or perform a suicidal run in order to open the door. If the door are open, remember to kill the nearby enemies first.

On the shore you can find another Kodama. If you followed the hints than this ghost should be the ninth and the last one in this mission. When you are done go to the gate. When you are in front of it, turn right and go down the side path.

Go under the gate presented on the picture above. In the cave there are many useful items such as Harakiri Sword. Thanks to it you can, at any time, go back to the Shrine but you lose amrita that you carry.

If you gathered everything you should go back to the Shrine. Level up your hero according to your needs and prepare yourself to face this area's boss, Onryoki. The tips on how to defeat him can be found in the dedicated chapter.
