Echoes Of The Storm: Quick overview

Location Of Echoes Of The Storm

Echoes of the Storm in Ghost of Yotei begins on the Oshima Coast where you first encounter a Matsumae soldier waiting at Benten Port. This port area serves as the gateway to the mission and is located west of Castle Matsumae along the Karatsu River. From Benten Port, the soldier escorts you to the Matsumae Residences, a more peaceful village area near the imposing Matsumae Castle, marking the transition from travel to story engagement.

Here is a step-by-step guide to complete Echoes of the Storm quest in Ghost of Yotei:

Step 1 - follow the Matsumae soldier

Follow the Matsumae soldier at Benten Port into the outer approaches of Matsumae Castle — stay close, keep an eye on patrol paths, and use cover to avoid unnecessary alerts.

Step 2 - meet Jubei

Meet Jubei and Kiku inside the castle approach. Dialogue here sets up the next objective and gives context — listen for hints about guard placement and the armory’s location.

Step 3 - steal and escape

Steal the medicine from the Matsumae armory. There’s a short “grab and escape” window — move quickly after you pick it up, take the most direct covered route back toward your allies, and be ready for a triggered response.

Step 4 - climb up with medicine

Kiku uses a distraction to make space for you to jump and climb your way to the place with medicine.

Step 5 - plan the strike

After being caught by the soldiers taking medicine, you will be escorted the commander to plan a strike in the assault capturing the Bo-Hiya gunner position.

Step 6 - Follow Jubei in pursuing the dragon

Engage in a pursuit sequence, capturing or confronting the target. Check on the spyglass the camp and slide down to engage in combat.

Step 7 - Clear out the camp

Tips to complete the Quest

• Stealth takedowns and staying off open sightlines make the armory/rooftop sections far easier.
• Bring smoke or distraction tools if your build supports them — they let you slip past concentrated sentries.
• If you trigger alarms, retreat to high ground and pick enemies off rather than rushing the crowd. The rooftops favor ranged gunners.
• Save before the armory theft if you want to experiment (quiet vs. noisy) — you can replay the section in free roam later, but a save reduces frustration.
• The mission ties into the Saito Brothers storyline; dialog choices and the order in which you handle things influence later beats, so read conversations if you care about flavor.

Completing the mission rewards you with new combat positions, deeper narrative connections, and a meaningful progression in Atsu’s path. It also prepares you for upcoming challenges against the Saito Clan. The mission encourages a tactical approach—balancing stealth with combat readiness—and rewards patience and observation in both infiltration and battle. This quest sets the tone for subsequent missions and the evolving story of Ghost of Yotei, making it an essential and memorable part of the game.
