Location for the Legend of Opusnupuri
Phase I: Triggering the Legend of Opusnupuri
Step 1: Travel to Husko Kotan
Go to the village of Husko Kotan in the Nayoro Wilds. There you’ll find a storyteller performing a Yukar, a traditional Ainu myth.
Step 2: Listen to the storyteller
Approach the storyteller to trigger the cutscene. The myth of Okikurmi’s arrow will set the tale in motion, marking Niptay Mountain on your map.
Step 3: Begin your ascent
Head toward the newly marked area at the base of Niptay Mountain to start your climb.
Phase II: Niptay Mountain and Okikurmi’s arrow
Step 4: Climb using your grappling hook
Follow the mountain path. Grappling points will appear frequently — use them to climb and swing over gaps. Keep an eye out for natural ledges and narrow passages.
Step 5: Rest with the Ainu traveler
Midway up, you’ll meet an Ainu traveler near a campfire. Build a fire and eat when prompted. This interaction progresses the quest and opens the next area.
Step 6: Investigate the camp
Continue until you find a small camp. Interact with the campfire to trigger the first bear encounter.
Step 7: Follow the trail of gunfire
After surviving, move toward the sound of gunfire. You’ll find an injured man — speak to him to gain insight on the bad kamuy’s attacks.
Step 8: Escape the bear
The bear will return for a surprise attack. Quickly grapple upward to escape. Move through wooden beams and narrow passages to reach a new cave.
Step 9: Traverse through the cave
Climb through the dark cave using natural wall holds. At the end, you’ll emerge near another Ainu NPC waiting outside.
Step 10: Reach the ancient tree
Follow the path downhill and across trenches while avoiding or sneaking past the bear. Use tall grass to hide. Eventually, you’ll reach a giant tree. Examine it to find Okikurmi’s Arrow.
Phase III: Defeat the bad kamuy (bear spirit)
Step 11: Prepare for the final battle
The bear will reappear immediately after you obtain the arrow. Make sure your health is full before engaging.
Step 12: Use Okikurmi’s Arrow
Equip the bow and use the mythic arrow to deal massive damage. Aim carefully for the head to break the bear’s spirit barrier.
Step 13: Deliver the final blow
After the bear weakens, finish it with your katana or another arrow shot. Once it falls, a final cutscene will trigger, completing the mythic tale.
