Locating Hunter's Watch Wolf Den
After moving north from the Yotei Grasslands, the Tokachi Range opens into the wide Ohara Plains, known for their rocky outcrops and open terrain. To find Hunter’s Watch, travel east from the nearest shrine or inn in the range.
Look for a rocky mound topped by a twisted tree, located between the “A” and “P” in “Ohara Plains” on the map. Scattered corpses mark the Wolf Den’s entrance—approach carefully, as nearby outlaws may engage you before you’re ready.
How to complete Hunter's Watch Wolf Den step-by-step
Step 1: Investigate and Summon the Wolf
Approach the corpses around the tree-topped mound and inspect them to trigger the event. After examining several bodies, the wolf appears, growls, and flees south, leaving tracks and blood—follow quickly to continue the sequence.
Step 2: Pursue Through the Cliffs
Mount your horse and chase the wolf along winding cliffs and grassy dips. Stay close using sprint bursts and terrain shortcuts. Environmental clues like birds or smoke signal the nearby trapper camp.
Step 3: Infiltrate and Clear the Trapper Camp
Arrive at a cliffside outpost with 6–8 enemies (archers, swordsmen, a naginata brute). Use stealth, grapple points, and vertical cover to your advantage. Free caged wolves mid-fight to gain combat support.
Step 4: Free Captives and Complete the Den
Break cage locks to free the wolves and trigger a cutscene strengthening your bond. Loot materials and coins before returning to the den—now marked complete with a wolf icon.

Why does Hunter's Watch wolf den matter?
Tying this den to the main quest, it slots neatly after "Shadows of the Range," where you first venture into Tokachi. Use it to farm resources en route to the next Yotei Six target, or chain it with nearby activities like the Boar's Eye Cave hot spring for health buffs. If you're trophy hunting, note that dens remain available post-story in free roam.
