How to find Mad Goro in Matsumae Encampment: Step-by-step guide

Follow this step-by-step guide to successfully find Mad Goro in Matsumae Encampment.

Step 1: Travel to Matsumae Encampment and find the blocked main gate

Head southeast towards the Matsumae Encampment next to the Yotei Grasslands border. Speak to the guard at the front gate; he will not let you enter by force.

Step 2: Locate the alternative hillside path to reach the gate

Facing the gate, look to your right to find a worker’s camp on a hill. Climb up and follow the path to reach a gate which opens right infront of you.

Step 3: Go through the gate to reach the bridge

Go through the gate to reach the bridge that's being constructed.

Step 4: Use the grapple point to cross bamboo beams beneath the bridge

Climb up the wooden bridge until you see a large gap under the bridge. Use the grapple hook to swing across.

Step 5: Use the Spyglass to scout the camp

From the ledge overlooking the camp, use the Spyglass to identify key points: Mad Goro’s location near a training yard, Jubei's position, and crucially a gap in the fence on the right side that serves as your stealth entry point.

Step 6: Wait for nightfall to maximize stealth

The area is heavily guarded, so wait until it gets dark before attempting to sneak in through the fence gap.

Step 7: Sneak inside and find Mad Goro’s holding cell

Carefully climb up the mountain to enter through the fence gap using grapple hooks. Locate the wooden hut at the camp’s edge where Mad Goro is held prisoner.

Step 8: Approach the cell door and speak to Mad Goro

Enter the cell door through the window and speak to Mad Goro, promising to set him free.

Step 9: Climb onto the roof to get inside the cell

Remove the planks covering a hole in the roof and jump inside.

Step 10: Use the grappling hook to break the wall

Let Mad Goro smash through from the inside or use your grappling hook to break a weak wall section to escape.

Step 11: Escape and follow Jubei

After freeing Mad Goro, Jubei will meet you. Follow him to safely leave the camp, preparing to fight off Oni Raiders who attack during your escape.


This careful, stepwise approach ensures you find and rescue Mad Goro in Matsumae Encampment while navigating the guards and camp layout effectively in Ghost of Yotei. Patience, scouting, and stealth are key to success.
