Begin the quest by meeting Kyonyo near the east side of Amagasaki Castle, close to the river. The entry point may appear somewhat glitchy. Your first objective is to dispose of all seven snipers in the area—utilize stealth tactics or direct combat to take them down effectively.

Upon neutralizing the snipers, turn your attention to Wada Koretake. You can create an advantageous environment for yourself by eliminating his bodyguards and staying out of his sight long enough to approach him stealthily. If stealth fails, prepare for a standard combat confrontation.

After successfully eliminating Koretake, you will face a moral decision regarding the fate of a captured prisoner. Regardless of your choice, the outcome will not affect the quest’s conclusion or the rewards received.

The mission wraps up with a cinematic sequence, which ultimately concludes the storyline. Upon completion, players are rewarded with valuable items, including the elusive Death Whisperer Kusarigama.
