On the left side is the main route that you’ll progress upon. On the right side, you’ll find some loot and the path is closed by a wooden gate. Inside the cave, you’ll find a Kodama Shrine placed in a cross-section with paths leading right and left. Having taken care of all the enemies there, head deeper into the house to get out the back into a huge cave. Inside, you’ll find Gakis, an Aberrant Soldier and Ippon-Datara killing who will dispel the Dark Realm. Right there on the left is a house with Dark Realm in it. Kill it and loot the corpse on the wooden ramp on the right. Right ahead, you’ll encounter another warrior. Keep going in that direction, take the u turn in the end and find another well on your left. You’ll encounter a number of different enemies here including Gakis, Dweller and a Yoki or a Magatsu Warrior that you have to kill to vanquish the Dark Realm.

If you go on the leftmost stairs from the starting area, they lead to a Dark Realm. The wooden structure beside the path has stairs which you can go up to find some more loot. The rightmost path has a single loot that you have to kill a ninja to get to it’s a dead end. One is directly to your right beside the wooden structure, the second one is the stairs on the far left that lead to the building and the third path is behind the structure if you go from the left. Starting the mission, you will have three possible paths you can take from the starting area.
