After reaching the Ishikari Plain in the main quest "The Oni," you will trigger a series of tasks that eventually reward you with Blind Bombs. Start at Otaru Hills to reach the bomb maker at the Fire Cracker Canyon.

Step 1: Begin the bomb questline

To start, travel to Ishikari Plain as part of the main storyline. You’ll be directed to find a villager. This pushes the narrative forward and introduces Ina, the Bomb Maker.

She will give you the Scorch Bomb initially and it will lead to the next task in the main questline.

Step 2: Complete the bear encounter

During Ina's quest, you’ll need to follow her up a path, climb a cliff, and enter a cave. Here, use Scorch bomb and confront and kill a bear as a necessary encounter as a part of "Fighting Fire with Fire". This fight is part of the scripted progression and not skippable.

After the bear is defeated, speak to Ina. She will reward you with the Blind Bombs and teach you their use. Make sure to engage in any remaining dialogue options to confirm the unlock and tutorial.

Once obtained, you can equip Blind Bombs from the quickfire weapon wheel. Use them in combat scenarios to blind and disorient enemies, which opens up opportunities for stealth attacks or quick escapes.

Blind Bombs, a thrown weapon, give you a strong edge when fights get overwhelming. By disorienting groups of enemies, they open up opportunities to strike safely or escape danger.

They’re not about raw damage but about creating windows of advantage — buying you time to reposition, chain combos, or single out priority targets. Used smartly, Blind Bombs turn chaotic encounters into manageable ones, making them one of the most reliable Quickfire tools in Ghost of Yōtei.
