Part 10

Head down the right path from the archer's previous location to find a shrine. Use it to save your progress and level up.

Return to the previous area and defeat the archer and patrolling raider again.

Move along the upper path and look for a corpse in a small cubby to your right.

Continue forward and defeat the archer.

Enter the grassy area and defeat the first Dweller enemy. Use a low stance and expend your Ki to defeat them.

Defeat the second Dweller guarding a corpse. Loot the corpse.

Look to the tree on the left to find a Healer Kodama. Guide it back to the shrine.

Continue down the grassy path and defeat another Dweller.

Take a left to loot a grave and a corpse tucked away in a corner.

Return to the cliff wall and go left to find a ladder. Head down it and loot the corpse.

Kick the next ladder down to create a shortcut connecting to the very first area of the island.

Return to the area where you found the bow and head back to the shrine.

Head up the slope and kill the raider. Loot the corpse here.

Go right to find an area you can jump down to for another corpse. Loop back around to the shrine.

Head back up the slope and go left. Drop off the ledge to another corpse, loot it, and drop down again.

Defeat the patrolling archer.

Enter the mayor's yard. Knock the rock off the well to the left for an item.

Wait for and kill the raider patrolling the yard.

Clear out the enemies near the entrance: attract the spearmen with a rock, then defeat the Samurai Axeman, the raider near the corpse, and the final raider.

Loot the corpse in the mayor's yard.

Go to the shed in the corner before entering the house. Kill the raider inside and loot the Big Chest.

Loot the corpse in the shed to receive the "Equipment Weight" lesson, which warns against exceeding your equipment load.

Head outside the shed and take a left. Find a hole in the wall leading to a small area.

In this area, find a developer grave, a grave that provides a "Purification" Tutorial, and a Hunter Kodama near the wall. Guide the Kodama back.

Head back to the Mayor's House. Loot the corpse just inside and another corpse past that.

Approach the mist to fight a Swordsman Yokai. These enemies control "Yokai Realm Mist" that halts your Ki. Perform a Ki Pulse to dispel it. Study its movements before attacking.

If your Living Weapon gauge is full, use it. A save point is nearby.

After defeating the Swordsman Yokai, loot the corpse in the corner for the "Men and Demons" entry and the Key to Residence.

Exit the mansion and approach the gates to see a village below.

Head left for a corpse, then right to another corpse as you go down the slope.

Unlock and use the third shrine. Note the shortcut door to the right.

Head back up the slope to the last corpse looted. Fall off the ledge to the right to find another Hunter Kodama. Guide it back.

Travel across the roof to a corpse, then drop down near the shrine.

Enter the village. Take the right path to destroy boxes and find a Dweller. Defeat it.

Take the normal path and kill a second Dweller off to the left.

Approach the Yokai Mist ahead to fight a Ninja Yokai. Dodge its leaps and counterattack. Use houses to retreat and heal if needed.

Note that certain Yokai, like this one, do not respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death) after using a shrine.

Past the house corner where the Yokai was, be careful of an archer on a roof. Shoot him with an arrow.

Fight the Samurai near the well.

Knock the rock by the well down for an item.

Go behind the house and right to find a corpse.
