Ghost of Yotei: Echoes of the Storm Quest Walkthrough — The Saito Brothers’ Next Chapter

The Echoes of the Storm quest in Ghost of Yotei is a powerful continuation of the Saito Brothers storyline, blending emotional character development with intense combat. What starts as a peaceful escort quickly escalates into stealth missions, moral decisions, and a confrontation that pushes both your skills and loyalty to the limit.

This guide walks you through each step of the Echoes of the Storm quest, including choices, stealth paths, and the climactic showdown with the Dragon — setting up the next major story mission, To Catch a Spider.

How to Start the Echoes of the Storm Quest in Ghost of Yotei

After completing The Storm Breaks, travel to Benten Port. Here, you’ll encounter a Matsumae soldier on horseback who officially triggers the Echoes of the Storm quest. Follow him towards Matsumae Castle, where Jubei is delivering his report and Kiku awaits nearby.

As Jubei handles his duties, Kiku invites you on a walk — marking the emotional start of this chapter.

A Walk with Kiku

Kiku’s segment begins with a simple yet heartfelt task: arranging flowers.

·         Pick three flowers when prompted and place them in the vase.
This moment gives players deeper insight into Kiku’s personality and beliefs through the symbolism of the blossoms.

Afterwards, the tone shifts. Kiku introduces you to a rescued horse and leads you toward the armory, where locals are desperate for medicine. This sets up your first infiltration mission.

Sneaking into the Armory

Atsu challenges Kiku’s motives in a brief cutscene, but your dialogue choice doesn’t affect the outcome. Soon, you’ll be tasked with breaking into the armory to retrieve supplies.

Follow these steps to navigate the stealth sequence:

1.      Turn around and use the first slackline to reach nearby scaffolding.

2.      Grapple the second slackline to climb onto the rooftop.

3.      Drop down to the platform and help Kiku up.

4.      Boost her into the storage room above — she can’t lift you, so find another way.

5.      Squeeze through the bamboo barricade to the left.

6.      Grapple across the next gap and balance along the beam.

7.      Climb up using the handholds marked in white.

8.      Enter the storage room and reunite with Kiku.

Once you’ve secured the medicine, a cutscene will play where the Matsumae soldiers catch you in the act.

Commander Wada’s Orders

Despite being caught, Kiku’s quick thinking saves you from punishment. Instead, you’re brought to Commander Wada, who assigns you a crucial mission — retake the Hadokate Lighthouse and sever the Dragon’s line of control.

Now, the quest shifts gears into large-scale combat.

Assault on the Hadokate Lighthouse

Ride with Jubei and the Matsumae troops toward the lighthouse.

·         Position yourself on the left side and use your Spyglass to scout.

·         Spot the Dragon, tormenting captives within the compound.

When the battle begins:

·         Slide down into the action.

·         Defeat enemy soldiers and clear the main gate.

The Dragon retreats, forcing you into a high-stakes pursuit.

Hunting the Dragon

As you chase the Dragon, enemy gunners will open fire.

·         Use wooden barricades for cover.

·         Shoot back or dash in to eliminate threats.

Once the area is secure, rush inside the lighthouse. A brief cutscene shows your final confrontation with the Dragon — but he manages to escape, leaving the Hadokate Lighthouse reclaimed by the Matsumae.

This victory concludes the Echoes of the Storm quest and directly leads into To Catch a Spider, the next major storyline mission.
