Once you have completed the main storyline of the Claws of Awaji expansion, you will have the opportunity to complete additional quests, namely to cleanse the island of the consequences of the harsh clan’s rule. Let’s take a look at the first quest, Yasuhira’s Spies.  At this point, you should have already defeated Spymaster Yasuhira, neutralized Nowaki, killed Imagawa Tomeji, and punished the head of the Sanzoku Ippa clan, Kimura Yukari. As always, before you start reading, I recommend watching a detailed video on this topic.

Yasuhira’s Spies – Ryuzoji Den

To start the quest, you need to go to the main kakurega in Sumoto. Inside, you will find Konatsu, who will open the quest and give you the location of the first target. But personally, I accidentally met Ryuzoji Den, defeated her, and thus started the quest in this way. So I showed you the location. All the targets in this quest are extremely easy to defeat, so you will be able to handle them in any case.

Yasuhira’s Spies – Yamanouchi Tobei

The next target is Yamanouchi Tobei. He is located in Sumoto. You can see his location on the screen. You can ambush the enemy and finish the fight with a single kunai throw. But you can finish the fight any way you want. This is a very easy enemy. In this video, I’m mainly showing you where the targets are so that you don’t waste time searching for them. Unfortunately, the developers made the enemies too easy. I would like more difficulty in the battles. So let’s look at the mission board.

Yasuhira’s Spies – Yamane Ichi

Pay attention to where this target is located, as you may not be able to find the enemy right away. That’s why I’m marking it on the map. The rest is simple, even boring. There’s nothing complicated about it. There are no other enemies around, and the enemy itself is too easy. You can defeat it using any method you choose. An interesting feature is that by defeating each enemy, you unlock new targets for the next quest. This is what makes this quest valuable. Let’s go back to the task board. Three targets have been defeated, and next we will look for So Sachihiko.

Yasuhira’s Spies – So Sachihiko

I decided to assassinate this target immediately, simply ran up to him and did my job. You will find So Sachihiko in the Yura region. If you did the quest sequentially, like I did, you don’t have an active final target right now. If you did everything right and talked to Konatsu at the beginning, then your final target should already be known. In my case, I am only now going to the main kakurega in Sumoto, finding Konatsu inside, and only after that can I find the last target on the map, whose name is Kobayakawa Heitaro. I suggest you look at where this target is located, and we will complete this very simple side quest.

Yasuhira’s Spies – Kobayakawa Heitaro

Kobayakawa Heitaro is located in the Sumoto region. You don’t have to go far to find this target. Just mark it on the map, and then it’s easy to find and neutralize. This quest is really very simple, but important. With its help, you will unlock all the targets in the next additional quest called Nowaki’s Ambushers.
