Inokichi the Hungry is a bounty enemy and one of Saito's enforcers controlling the primary food supply in Tokachi Range. He resides at Huranui Mill in the Huranui Cliffs region, which lies in the northern part of the Tokachi Range. The mill itself is directly south of Master Yoshida's Dojo and north of Huranui’s Rest Inn.
How to complete the Inokichi the Hungry bounty and get the mask
The mission requires liberating Huranui Mill by clearing all enemies within the Yotei Six Camp. This includes defeating Inokichi himself along with any reinforcements he calls during the fight. Here's how to go about it:
Step 1: Get the bounty from Tokachi Range
Accept the bounty mission for Inokichi the Hungry from the bounty board in Tokachi Range. Mark the location on your map.
Step 2: Scout from the eastern cliff
Approach Huranui Mill from the eastern direction. There's a cliff northeast of the location that you can utilize for reconnaissance.
The Nupur River flowing through the camp also provides excellent concealment.
Step 3: Infiltrate via tightrope network
Cross the tightrope over the river and assassinate the first guard. Use the elevated tightrope system to move between sections while avoiding ground patrols.
Step 4: Clear the southern entrance area
Secure the area near the two burned tents at the southern entrance. Loot the reward cache and eliminate the two patrolling enemies.
Enter the mill's lower level and clear out guards positioned in the undercroft area. Similarly, use the western tightropes to reach mid-level positions and eliminate river guards and the archer guarding the central yard.
Step 5: Confront Inokichi in the central hall
Enter the main hall where Inokichi the Hungry awaits. He wields a heavy club and represents an ideal target for Odachi combat techniques.
Step 6: Handle Inokichi's combat patterns
Dodge his heavy attacks and counter with quick Odachi strikes. Use environmental obstacles for cover and apply hit-and-run tactics when facing his reinforcement waves.
Step 7: Defeat reinforcement waves and liberate mill
After damaging Inokichi, additional Yotei Six warriors arrive. Clear all remaining enemies in northern tents and dock areas to fully liberate the mill. Access the Altar of Reflection in the central courtyard for skill point advancement.
Step 8: Get Inokichi the Hungry's mask
Once the area is clear, you will get a cutscene, and Inokichi the Hungry's mask will be given to you automatically.
Defeating Inokichi not grants a unique mask but also progresses the narrative, being as it is a part of a greater mission.
