Wait on the Dock for Lord Shimura

Lord Shimura isn’t there yet. Wait for him on the dock by the sparring circle.

Ride with Lord Shimura

After Lord Shimura arrives and watching a brief cutscene, follow him to your horse and ride with him.

Push the Wagon with Lord Shimura

On your path, you’ll find a farmer having some trouble moving his cart. Dismount your horse and help him push the cart by repeatedly pressing .

Ride with Lord Shimura

Now you can resume your horse ride with Lord Shimura.

Follow Lord Shimura

When you get to the cemetery, follow Lord Shimura to Jin’s father’s grave.

During the following cutscene, you’ll have to compose a haiku (this haiku counts towards  Body, Mind, and Spirit).

After the cutscene, get ready to duel Lord Shimura. To quickly weaken Lord Shimura, use special moves like Heavenly Strike ( + ) if you have enough Resolve and if you can, use your Ghost Stance, too. Roll to avoid his red attacks and parry  his blue and normal ones.

Once you’ve emptied his red bar, you’ll have the option to spare or end his life. The choice is yours and whatever you choose will have zero impact on trophies. Whether you let him live or kill him has no impact on any completion tasks, collectibles, outposts or tales of any kind. You can still get 100% completion after the story and finish off any tasks you haven’t done yet. So pick what you want, it doesn’t matter.
