Overview
A standalone Tale of Tsushima in the Toyotama region, told by the people living under the occupation rather than by anyone commanding it.
A Final Request is a standalone Tale of Tsushima in Toyotama — not attached to an ally questline, and told from inside the occupation rather than above it.
The side tales are where the game shows what the invasion costs people who were never going to be defended by eighty samurai on a beach. They are short, and collectively they are most of the game’s texture.
In the game’s own framing: Fighting at the inn, and behind it a man taken by ronin and moved between camps.

Enemies in this tale, and how to fight them
Strengths
- Straw Hats / ronin — Japanese swordsmen rather than Mongols, and they fight like it — faster and more technical than the invaders, with less armour. Stone Stance still applies. Standoffs work well against them, and against unarmoured ronin a won standoff often kills outright.
Rewards
- Minor Legend IncreaseA smaller step toward the next Legend rank — the size a side tale, a liberated settlement or a cleared encounter gives.
- Minor Melee CharmA silver charm. Minor charms are weaker than major ones and go in the minor slots — you start with two major slots and unlock up to four minor ones by honouring Inari Shrines, for six equipped at once.
- +8 LeatherUpgrade material. Silk, linen and leather are what armourers and swordsmiths charge to improve your gear.
