Locating Green Hill Wolf Den in Yotei Grasslands

The den is easily identified by a mound or rock topped with a lone tree and surrounded by corpses, just south of Lake Shikotsu, beyond Atsu’s Home. This area represents the first step in unlocking valuable wolf abilities and progressing through the Ghost of Yotei storyline.

Step-by-step: How to complete Green Hill Wolf Den

Step 1

Find the mound with a single tree, south of Lake Shikotsu, and approach the corpse near its base.

Step 2

Examine the body using the interaction prompt (usually R2). This triggers a cutscene and your wolf companion’s arrival.

Step 3

Mount your horse and follow the wolf as it tracks the scent trail leading you to Saito’s enemy camp. Stay close; the wolf moves fast through the grasslands.

Step 4

Arriving at the camp, prepare for combat. Engage all enemies, taking advantage of cover and letting your wolf distract and attack targets.

Step 5

After clearing the camp, locate the cage or trap holding a captive wolf. Interact to free it, completing the den and earning a wolf skill point.

Rewards and tips for completion

Finished dens reward you with a vital skill point for your wolf, granting access to new techniques and abilities. The narrative moments add deeper context to the bond between Atsu and her wolf, enriching the experience.

Reward Description
Wolf’s Strike A fast, coordinated attack where your wolf lunges alongside you, dealing stagger damage and interrupting enemies.
Wolf’s Howl A powerful area-of-effect ability that causes nearby enemies to flinch or flee, especially effective against weaker foes.
