Starting Location: The Proud Do Not Endure

Travel with Yuriko

This Side tale can be started immediately after the previous main quest. Talk to Yuriko about the poison and follow her on horseback to gather the plants.

Reach the Encounter Area

Entering a nearby graveyard, we will see some Mongols lurking around. An ideal time to start a standoff and thin out the first bunch.

Rid the Cemetary of Mongols

This first section only has one brute; all the other enemies are regular swordsmen.

The whole Cemetary-area has some more spots with enemies. Stick to the sides and take out the archers overlooking the place. It is also an ideal place to try out your new Blowgun and stealthily kill enemies from afar.

If you generally get rid of the vigilant archers first, you’ll have few problems taking out the remaining Mongol swordsmen on the ground.

Speak with Yuriko

Once you have cleared the whole graveyard, talk to Yuriko again.

Travel with Yuriko

She now remembers that the flowers are in fact located in another Cemetary. Get on your horse and follow her lead. On the way, you’ll make a short stop at the shore of a lake to take a breather.

Gather nearby Spider Lilies

After riding for another short bit, you’ll eventually reach the correct cemetary with the orange flowers you’re looking for. They are marked on the screen and are located to the right-hand side of the graveyard.

Speak with Yuriko

Once you’ve gathered all three flowers, head over and talk to Yuriko.

Travel with Yuriko

Yuriko wants to take us to another place and show us, how the hallucination darts are made. On the way, we encounter an enemy camp and she crafts them on the spot.

Clear the Camp of your Foes

Make use of your new toy by selecting the new darts with .

There are plenty of enemies nearby you can try them out on. Obviously, their range is shorter than the bow, so you need to get a bit closer to hit them and watch the fun.

The area has several clusters of enemies, who won’t all engage in the commotion. So, when you join the fun and surprise the Mongols, there are still spots around where you can use stealth, if you so choose.
