Starting Location: The Thief
Speak with Junshin
Junshin can be found talking with Masako at Koshimizu Farmstead.
Speak with Masako
Masako is on a nearby bridge talking to some peasants.
Follow Masako
Get on your horse and follow Masako down a road until you see Mai ahead on a bridge with some Straw Hats.
Hide in the pampas grass closer to Mai
Head to the left and the tall grass.
Follow Mai to the stolen heirlooms
Firstly, you’ll have a secondary objective here which is to take out the four Straw Hats without being seen. Head to the left of the bridge, through the water and nestle in the pampas grass on the opposite side. Make sure to not get too close or you’ll be detected. The first Straw Hat will oh so conveniently bend down to inspect a grave, leaving him easy pickings for an assassination. After that, two Straw Hats will stop by a cart so chain assassinate them both. Mai will soon run off with the last Straw Hat towards a well, so either catch up to him and stab him or hit him with an arrow.
Defeat the ronin
Once you reach the location, you’ll have to wipe out another small group of swordsmen who should be easy prey for your abilities.
Speak with Mai
Once done, approach the thief next to the well.
Follow Masako and Mai
Follow Mai through the pampas grass and eventually you’ll come across the hiding spot.
Collect Masako’s heirlooms
Collect the heirlooms from two boxes behind the nearby bush.
Speak with Masako
Return to where Masako was standing and a cutscene will start.
This finishes The Thief quest in Ghost of Tsushima.
