Locating the Grassy Hill Fox den

Start at the northern edge of the Yotei Grasslands (the Route toward Ishikari Plain / Road to Ishikari Plain markers). Head south along the road until it ends near a path of white flowers; southeast from there look for red-leafed trees that mark a fox den. The Grassy Hill den is up the hill east of the river, just before a small waterfall. Use those map cues and the red tree/foliage to spot the den entrance.

How to complete the Grassy Hill fox den

Here is how you can complete the Grassy Hill Fox Den in Ghost of Yotei:

Step 1 - Arrive at the den location

Arrive at the den area (look for red-leafed trees and a small clearing) in Yotei Grasslands. Approach slowly and stand near the clearing — the fox will appear when the area is clear of ongoing combat or distractions.

Step 2 - Follow the fox

When the fox appears, follow it. The fox leads you uphill; keep it in sight and don’t stray — the path will wind past a campsite and over a few ledges. The fox’s movement cues tell you which platform/ledge to take next.

Step 3 - Rescue the settler

You’ll come across a small scene where a Settler (NPC) is trapped in a pit or stuck near a ledge. Stand by the ledge and use the prompted interaction button to help the Settler out. This interaction is required to progress the fox’s route in this den.

Step 4 - Continue towards the cave

After helping the Settler, continue following the fox as it leads into a nearby cave or blocked passage. Use your grapple/pull interaction to clear an obstruction (if present) so you can enter the cave. The fox will continue to the final area.

Step 5 - Interact with the Shrine

Reach the Inari shrine at the end of the route and pray at it. The shrine grants the den’s reward and counts toward the Guardian of Inari / Fox-Den-related progression.
