Location of Dragonfly Armor
Travel to the Tokachi Range — aim for the Ohara Plains / Cairn Forks region.
Find the campfire or small settlement where Daijiro is talking to locals. Interact with him to receive the side tale prompt — this will add “The Dragonfly Armor” to your journal.
How to get the Dragonfly Armor in Ghost of Yotei
Follow these steps to get the Dragonfly Armor and help Dajiro:
Step 1
Speak with Daijiro at Huranui’s Rest Inn (or the campfire in Cairn Forks). Accept to follow him — this kicks off the sequence of in-town events.
Step 2
Follow Daijiro inside the inn and play the zeni hajiki table game with him when prompted. Winning isn't required to progress permanently, but it’s part of the tale flow — treat it as a quick optional objective.
Step 3
After leaving the inn, you’ll be tasked with locating and clearing a nearby bounty hunters’ camp. Approach carefully — clear sentries and use stealth where possible to avoid alerting large groups at once.
Step 4
Fight through the camp and untie or free Daijiro. Standard combat tactics work: isolate enemies, use environment for cover, and use your preferred weapon rhythm.
Step 5
Light the campfire behind you and then climb the ladder to the cliff edge on the south side of the enemy camp when instructed. There’s a specific “hide on the cliff” moment — position yourself in the vegetation or behind the hay stacks as the tale requires.
Step 6
Wait for Daijiro’s signal (a keyword cue) to start the ambush. When the attackers arrive, drop from the cliff and engage — your job is to protect Daijiro and defeat Saito’s forces.
Step 7
Defeat all attackers and speak to Daijiro again.
Step 8
Return with him to Huranui’s Rest Inn or the original camp to finish the dialogue chain — that final conversation completes the tale and grants the Dragonfly Armor.
Tips for getting the Dragonfly Armor
Here are some caveats to look out for while hunting for the Dragonfly Armor in Ghost of Yote:
Hiding on the cliff
Climb the south ladder and move to the correct bush or hay spot — if you can’t progress, check that you used the correct ladder.
Zeni hajiki mini-game
You won’t fail the side tale if you lose — retry until you win.
Enemy waves
Treat the ambush like a protect-mission — keep Daijiro safe and prioritize ranged enemies first.
