The Ninja Village of Arlee is a hidden location that can be discovered later in the game, usually after obtaining the ability to fly or travel across water. It's home to the ninja clan and offers a unique side quest that can lead to a powerful new party member: Suzu Fujibayashi. To access Arlee, you'll typically need to find a specific hidden path or use a certain mode of transportation. Once inside, you'll learn about Suzu's plight and the challenges facing her village.
The side quest involves helping Suzu with a personal mission, often related to her family or a rival ninja clan. This usually entails navigating a small, unique dungeon or completing a series of tasks. Successfully completing this quest will not only earn you valuable items but will also allow Suzu to join your party. Suzu is a fast, agile character specializing in physical attacks and unique ninja Artes, making her a valuable addition to your team, especially against single-target bosses. Her recruitment often involves a boss battle against a rival ninja or a powerful monster.
