The Aberrant Mage
Mission Start Text
Remnants of Akechi's army have dug themselves in on the mountains.
You'd think they'd have nothing left to fight for, but still... Why don't we go and take a look? I'm sure you have no intention of letting Akechi's men off easy.
Mission End Text
So Onmyo Mages were gathering Spirit Stones, were they? At least we know for sure that Tokichiro and Toshimitsu betrayed the Akechi army that were fighting for them. It seems the longer that this goes on, the more corruption we will see. But that aside, I have to say that Magoichi is one strange individual. I'd say it's up to you whether or not he ends up as an enemy or ally...

The Aberrant Mage Walkthrough
The Onmyo Mages
In order to unlock this mission, you'll need to do two things:
- In the Main Mission: The Sun Sets on Mount Tenno, you'll have to kill 10 Onmyo Mage enemies. You can find two of them in the underground section at the fort, near the second shrine. Kill the enemies, then pray at the shrine for the same enemies to respawn.
- Complete the Main Mission: The Sun Sets on Mount Tenno.
Upon starting this mission, you'll arrive at the starting point and you'll find the shrine ahead. After you use the shrine, you'll find Saika Magoichi fighting a soldier. He'll automatically join the party and accompany you until you complete the mission. The doors of the temple are basically locked and you need to find the key to unlock it and to reach your objective - simply go inside the cave that is on the right side of the temple.
As you head inside the cave, you'll encounter two soldiers. After killing the enemies, continue inside and climb up the ladder at the end of the path. If you remember during the sub mission: A Hot-blooded Howl, you'll find the door ahead that previously lead to the objective of the mission. Since that door is now locked and can only be opened from the other side, just kill the yokai Spider and soldier that's in the area and climb up the second ladder.
At the top of the ladder, you'll emerge in a small room that's connected to the underground path. If you look on the left side of the room, you'll find the Scampuss by the corner. The cave is again engulfed, try to destroy the rock that's emitting the toxic gas which is at the right side that's being guarded by three Dweller yokai. When you've destroyed it, approach the yokai mist. The yokai within it is a Tesso and a Koroka will also spawn. Simply kill the yokai, and head to the next section where you'll find the second shrine.
From the second shrine, head towards the bridge walkway on the right and you'll encounter an Axe-wielding Soldier. Cross the walkway and you'll see an Enki at the end of the path, a body that you can loot, and a small chest that you can open. After clearing the area, go back to the wooden walkway and jump down into the room below from the opening that's on the left side of the walkway.
You'll find yourself inside the room of the door which you couldn't open earlier in the cave. You'll see an Onmyo Mage conjuring a spell in the room, you can grapple him from behind which can kill him instantly. Now, be ready, because once you kill the mage, the dark realm will appear and you'll have to face a couple of yokai. The first that will appear is an Aberrant Soldier, followed by a Tesso and Ubume, and finally, two Onyudo. Simply kill all yokai for the dark realm and the barrier that's blocking the door to disappear - open both chests to obtain loot, as well as the Rusty Key that you can use to open the doors of the temple.
After finding the key, go back outside and head towards the temple. You should now be able to open the temple doors. Inside the temple, you'll see three Onmyo Mages who are trying to harness the power of the large Spirit Stone that's in the middle. You can just shoot them with your bow or rifle by the door and just destroy the crystal to complete the mission - before you speak to Magoichi, make sure to open the large chest inside the temple.
