Starting Location: The Ghost of Iki Island

Travel to the Ghost’s offering site

After talking to the quest giver, ride to the Ghost’s offering site marked on your map. Once there, interact with the burned wood, the jar, and the torch on the ground. Then the scene transitions to a lookout automatically.

Find what the Ghost was scouting for

You will see the white outline of a circle. Look at it, in the center of the screen where the houses are. Then you can press to check out what’s happening in the distance. You’ll see the Ghost imposter running away.

Catch up to the Ghost

Run down to the houses where the imposter was.

Track the Ghost imposter

The objective marker will lead you to a muddy path between the leaves. Here you can press on the muddy footprints in the ground. Follow that muddy path with footprints uphill.

At the end of the muddy path you’ll see a campfire with 2 people standing next to it. You can hear them talking from the distance. Run up to them and a cutscene will start. They are discussing the debt the imposter Ghost owes to some Raiders.

Reach the bandits’ hideout to find the Ghost

The raider will walk away, and it turns out the man you followed isn’t the imposter Ghost, but his accomplice. He tells you the imposter Ghost was taken prisoner, so now you must free him. He’s in a building 120 meters away, guarded by some weak enemies.

Rescue the Ghost of Iki

Defeat the enemies, then free the imposter Ghost. As it turns out, the imposter Ghost of Iki is Kenji.

Lead Kenji to safety at the campsite / Speak with Kenji and Fugu

Walk alongside Kenji, he’ll lead the way and will bring you back to his accomplice Fugu. Once you arrive, talk to Fugu.

Travel with Kenji and Fugu to the Viper’s Den

Kenji and Fugu will now climb on their horses. Call your horse and ride after them. They’ll show you the way.

Walk with Kenji to meet the Viper / Speak with the Viper

After Kenji stops riding, follow him on foot into the settlement at the beach. There you will meet the Viper. Talk to him.

Now you have a set of 2 dialogue choices, you can either pick the 2 defusing dialogues (I Am Not My Father > We can work this out) or the 2 confronting ones (Watch Your Tone > This isn’t a negotiation).

If you pick the confronting ones it will result in a duel against the Viper, but you cannot kill him (the duel ends when his health is low). If you pick the defusing ones, it will skip the duel and instead you talk it out. Either way, you always get the same next objective. The rest of the quest will always continue on the same path regardless of your choice. The only difference is that one option gives you the duel against the Viper and the other doesn’t, but it has no impact on the rest of the game. So basically, it doesn’t matter what you pick.

Travel to the outskirts of Mongol camp with Kenji

After you either confronted or defused the situation with the viper, you will need to ride to a Mongol camp to grab some navigation charts. You should ride there manually instead of using fast travel, because using fast travel will leave Kenji behind.

Collect the Viper’s navigation charts

Clear out the camp (ideally, defeat the Shamans standing on top of the ruins first, then the others are easier to defeat).

Afterward, collect the golden glowing documents sitting on the broken wooden bridge next to the big tent. The yellow waypoint shows the exact spot, also see the location below.

Meet Kenji near the Mongol camp / Speak with Kenji

Head back out of the camp and talk to Kenji (marked map objective). This will automatically make you respawn at the Viper without having to travel back manually.

Speak with the Viper

Talk again to the Viper and let the dialogue play out. There are no choices to make here. Kenji actually learned a lesson here and decides to gives his spot onboard the Viper’s ship to his assistant Fugu, so that he may safely escape Iki Island. Kenji decides to stay on Iki Island.

This finishes The Ghost of Iki Island quest in Ghost of Tsushima Iki Island.
