Overview
- IGN details The Path of the Kusarigama in Teshio Ridge, requiring liberation of Yotei Six Camps at Snow Drift Springs and Soya Port to learn techniques at Altars of Reflection.
- Snow Drift Springs Shrine opens via a fox‑lantern puzzle that matches lit lanterns to fox statues, granting access to the hideout and its Altar.
- The Kusarigama’s Shame begins at Master Enomoto’s Owl Mountain dojo after completing The Path, opening with a training duel and awarding the Claw and Talon Spirit technique.
- Freeing the Kusarigama of Master Enomoto from a stone owl statue requires unlocking every kusarigama technique across Ezo, after which the cosmetic weapon can be claimed and the learned technique persists.
- Guides reference recent patch fixes for mission‑blocking issues and advise workarounds such as re‑equipping the kusarigama, verifying skill node unlocks, and selecting the active Tale if markers or statue prompts fail.
