In Ghost of Yotei, the Hidden Cliff Hot Spring is situated in the northwestern part of the Yotei Grasslands region, within the Golden Foothills. Here's how to get to it.
Locating the Hidden Cliff Hot Spring in Golden Foothills

The Hidden Cliff Hot Spring lies in the northwestern tip of the Yotei Grasslands region, a quiet outcrop in the Golden Foothills. When traveling in the area, survey the terrain for a prominent waterfall.
Climbing is essential for this spot. Locate the waterfall and, on its left side, find a rocky area with natural handholds. This can be climbed, sometimes requiring platforming from ledge to ledge.

The spring is at the top, shielded from direct view by the rock formation. Many players miss the location if they stay on established paths or don’t investigate the cliff edges.
