Starting Location: A Reckoning In Blood
Speak with Lord Shimura
Head to Lord Shimura’s Camp and speak with him as he overlooks some training recruits.
Find Yuna
Walk directly in front of you to find Yuna standing between two red banners with Taka.
Speak with Yuna
Press 
to speak with her.
Leave Lord Shimura’s war camp
Head out the front entrance of the camp, which is at the opposite end of the training area where you spoke to Yuna.
Travel to Fort Koyasan
Now you have to head north-east to Fort Koyasan. You can either ride there from Lord Shimura’s camp or just fast travel to a nearby location and do it that way.
Survey Fort Koyasan
Head up the hill to the right to start another survey scene. You only have to find one circle before you’re interrupted by Taka and a cutscene.
Enter Fort Koyasan
There are no gaps in the fence around the Fort, so the only way in is in the front gate. Luckily, Taka has done his job properly and led the majority of the force away. Jump down from the ledge you surveyed on and head around to the left, remembering to keep low in case any stragglers remain. Head in through the gate.
Make your way to the upper gate
Once in the Fort, head up to the right and assassinate the Mongol in the stables. This will likely attract the curiosity of another couple of enemies, so dispatch them either with stealth or face them head on.
Then head up another set of stairs to another area, with another handful of Mongols to deal with. Throw a firecracker to attract their attention and then stealth them before heading to the gate. Open with with for a cutscene.
Break free from your bonds
Start tapping 
to break your bonds. It won’t do much good.
After a cutscene, though, it succeeds!
Recover gear
Your gear is in a chest right next to where you were tied up.
Defeat all the Straw Hats
You’ll now have to defeat around 8 Straw Hats. Start off with a Standoff if you have the Clan Sakai armor, and you can defeat a handful of them instantly. Then, use your Stone Stance to finish off the swordsmen.
Escape from the inner courtyard
Head towards the keep and a cutscene will play.
Follow Yuna
Head after Yuna back towards… well, you know where.
Defeat all enemies
Now you have what seems like an entire Mongol camp to defeat. There will be 20 or so enemies here, all either Straw Hats or yellow armor Mongols. The Straw Hats will all require the Stone Stance to counter their swords, whilst the Mongols seem to be either Shield or Bazooka-wielding Brutes, so you will need to switch to Wind and Moon Stance on occasions. Use everything you have, including bombs and your bow to shoot the explosive barrels around the area. Eventually you’ll prevail.
Afterwards you’ll get a cutscene and the mission will end. Note, after the mission ends you will be in a certain location. If you’ve unlocked ‘Lament of the Storm’ for your flute by collecting 5 Singing Crickets, swipe left on the 
after the cutscene to earn the Dirge of the Fallen Forge trophy.
This finishes the A Reckoning In Blood quest in Ghost of Tsushima.
