After speaking with Matsu, head towards the cabin on the hill. Use the large tree south of Matsu to dive into hay and reach the path.

Cross the small bridge and climb the mountain path to the cabin.
3
Upon approaching, you'll encounter The Valley Yamabushi. If you haven't started 'Yamabushi Impostors', their name won't be revealed.
4
The Valley Yamabushi is an important target with eight health segments. They can summon other enemies and have a lot of health, making them challenging for Naoe. Consider switching to Yasuke for an easier fight.

To gain an advantage, sneak up on the fake Yamabushi for an assassination to remove a significant portion of their health.

Maintain pressure to prevent them from summoning more enemies. If they do summon, prioritize defeating the lesser enemies, especially archers.

The Yamabushi primarily uses unblockable attacks, so focus on dodging them. They may also throw their weapon and switch to bare-fisted combat, but their attacks will remain unblockable and faster.

Once The Valley Yamabushi is defeated, clear any remaining summoned enemies.

If you used Yasuke, switch back to Naoe.
