Bounty hunting in Ghost of Yotei offers players a lucrative way to explore Ezo while earning valuable gear and coin. Introduced to the system by Kojiro the Bounty Broker, players can track down criminal targets across various regions to complete their collection. Understanding where to find each target and what rewards they yield ensures a smooth journey toward total completion.
Starting Bounties and How the System Works
Players can unlock bounty missions by visiting local inns across Ezo or checking regional bounty boards. Kojiro connects Atsu with targets ranging from rogue thieves to dangerous swordsmen, rewarding players handsomely for every successful hit. Additionally, Atsu herself becomes a target with an increasing bounty on her head as story progress unfolds.
Tracking targets requires visiting specific landmarks such as enemy compounds, riverbanks, or secluded caves. Some encounters involve investigation mechanics or playing instruments to reveal hidden entrances. Preparing your loadout before engaging high-tier targets makes these skirmishes much easier to manage.
Yotei Grasslands and Ishikari Plain Targets
In the Yotei Grasslands, players encounter early targets like Smiling Yoshitomo and Crow Genzo near the Blue-Flowered Cemetery. Other notable foes include Muneji the Bone Crusher located within a heavily fortified enemy camp near Shirahige Falls. Defeating these targets grants generous coin payouts along with unique cosmetics such as specialized hats and quickfire gear.
Moving into the Ishikari Plain reveals targets such as Blue Yamauba, Toshi the Torch, and Eijiro the Ruthless. Shiro the Swindler serves as a capstone bounty who can be tracked down near Jigoku Fortress. Overcoming these dangerous foes rewards players with specialized masks, substantial coin, and valuable crafting materials.
Tokachi Range and Teshio Ridge Outlaws
The mountainous Tokachi Range hosts elusive targets including Junpei the Snatcher near Boar's Eye Cave and Bear Man Chikatoshi. Iron Chuta stands as the capstone challenge for this rugged region. Defeating these outlaws grants high-tier rewards that significantly boost your survival capabilities.
Teshio Ridge presents intense encounters with lethal foes like Snowstorm Katagiri, Houndmaster Toyotaro, and Black Night Kubo. Completing all regional targets helps unlock the Master Bounty Hunter trophy for dedicated completionists. Claiming every reward ensures Atsu possesses the finest equipment available throughout her journey.
