Uncovering Jin Sakai’s story in Ghost of Yotei

Ghost of Yotei is set over 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima. While Jin Sakai doesn’t appear in person, a special side quest lets players uncover his lasting legacy. You step into the shoes of Atsu, but the spirit of the Ghost lingers in the land. The region of Ezo holds clues and physical artifacts that give new perspectives on Jin’s post-Tsushima fate—and let you wield iconic gear.

Finding Jin Sakai's artifacts in Oshima Coast

Step 1

Travel to the Oshima Coast region, then reach its southwest corner near the coast.

Step 2

Make your way to the Forgotten Shrine. Meet Ugetsu the Storyteller, who shares tales about Jin’s legendary Storm Blade and the Ghost’s past. You will get the Storm Blade Mythic Tale quest from here.

Optionally, team up with Oyuki at Matsumae Castle and buy a special map from Isaburo the Cartographer. This map marks a hidden altar on the hills south of the Otsuki River (in case you have not unlocked Oshima Coast yet)

Step 3

Complete the mythic tale as you progress. Claim the Storm Blade at the Altar before meeting Nine Tails and get the legendary Ghost Mask at its after defeating the Nine Tails. This sequence pays tribute to Jin and rewards you with his mask and sword for use in the rest of your adventure.

Jin Sakai’s fate and in-game significance

Although Jin doesn’t appear due to the game’s historical leap, Ghost of Yotei intricately honors his story. Lore entries, journal haikus, and environment cues make this quest a key connection to Tsushima’s ending. The quest’s design both remembers a fallen hero and hands down his tools to those who chase his myth.
