The Sister Betrayed

Overview

A Tale of Tsushima in Kamiagata, lady masako tale 9 of 9 — part of Masako tracking the people who slaughtered the Adachi clan.

The Sister Betrayed belongs to Lady Masako’s questline: Masako tracking the people who slaughtered the Adachi clan. It is lady masako tale 9 of 9, set in Kamiagata.

The ally questlines are the game’s best writing and they run in order, so this tale assumes the ones before it. Lady Masako’s arc rewards being followed as a sequence rather than picked at.

In the game’s own framing: Masako has found her sister at Clan Kikuchi’s old fort. What follows is duty against family, and a sacrifice that brings honour and a great burden with it.

This is tale 9 of 9 in Masako’s arc. The ally questlines run in order and assume the ones before them, so they reward being followed as a sequence rather than picked at.

Full walkthroughSpoilers

1. 01
   Travel to Fort Kaminodake

   Masako is praying at an altar beneath the fort’s wooden bridge.

2. 02
   Follow Masako to your horse

   Ride together toward the Kikuchi estate. Whistle the horse rather than walking back to it, and remember a charge is itself an opening move against a loose group.

3. 03
   Follow her on foot

   Dismount as she approaches the estate.

4. 04
   Clear the gate

   Kill what is blocking it and open the entrance.

5. 05
   Defeat the first wave

   Samurai around the estate grounds — not Mongols.

6. 06
   Follow Masako uphill

   Her sister, Lady Hana, is waiting.

7. 07
   Defeat the second wave

   More samurai during the confrontation.

8. 08
   Find Masako

   Focused Hearing places her, talking to her sister. This ends the Masako questline and unlocks "The Vengeful Warrior". Focused Hearing shows enemies through walls and floors, so use it to place everyone before committing rather than to react once you are seen.
