The Tale of the Taira

Mission Start Text

"You remember Yashima, do you not? The place you first met Yoshitsune? It seems that even now with the coast deserted, mysterious music can be heard sometimes, mingling with the sound of the waves. At least, so the rumours say. Curious goings-on are your specialty, so what say we go and take a look?"

Mission End Text

"So it seems that the hatred and resentment that consumed the Taira did indeed turn them into yokai. The story of the clan's rise and tragic fall now rings out in the songs of minstrels in the streets. They may have been our enemy, but still, it is sad to see them reduced to the state. I only hope that thanks to you, they can find peace at last."

The Tale of the Taira Walkthrough

First Shrine

Upon starting the side mission, you'll arrive back on one of the ships on the battlefield of Yashima and you'll see the first Kodama Shrine at the starting point. There's rubble that you can use to climb to get to the upper deck near the kodama shrine. At the top, you'll see a yokai mist that's blocking a hole on the ground.

The main goal for this mission is to fight and survive hostile remnants of fallen warriors and yokai that spawn on the upper deck. The Yokai that will spawn here is Warrior Skeleton, Aberrant Soldier, Lesser Umi-bozu. After you defeat the last remnant and the Lesser-Umi-bozu, the boss for this sub-mission will appear.

Boss: Taira no Kagekiyo

The boss that you'll need to fight here is a remnant of Taira no Kagekiyo. He wields two swords which makes him a bit agile and allows him to unleash fast attacks. Apart from that, a few yokai will also aid him in battle such as the Bakegani. Remember always to take out the yokai first before shifting your attention to the boss.

Although the boss is a remnant, luckily, you can still fight him and treat it like any boss battle against a human. It's best that if you dodge his attacks and position yourself near him, unleash a flurry of attacks in order to quickly deplete his stamina and eventually breaking it to stagger him for a short duration. Using any abilities that is associated with Lightning will also stun him or interrupt his attacks.

Once you've defeated him, pick up the loot it drops and then jump down into the room below you from the hole on the ground that was previously blocked. As soon as you drop down, you'll see the source of the hostile remnants and the music that's still playing which is the Biwa Boku-boku yokai, kill it, and the Oni-bi that appears to complete this sub-mission.
