Tracking down criminal targets across Ezo serves as one of the most lucrative and engaging activities in Ghost of Yotei. By taking on contracts from local boards, players can test their combat prowess while collecting significant monetary rewards and unique cosmetic gear.
How Bounty Hunting Works in Ezo
Bounty contracts are primarily accessed by visiting local inns across different regions or speaking directly with Kojiro the Bounty Broker. Once a target is accepted, players must investigate specific geographic landmarks to locate and eliminate the outlaw.
Completing these side missions yields substantial amounts of coin along with rare gear pieces like custom sword kits and masks. Additionally, defeating regional capstone targets unlocks trophy progression toward full completion.
Key Targets in Yotei Grasslands and Ishikari Plain
In the Yotei Grasslands, hunters can track down notorious figures like Black Powder Ippei near the trebuchets south of Windy Meadow. Defeating him rewards players with coin and a distinct collectible mask.
Moving toward the Ishikari Plain, dangerous foes such as Blue Yamauba and Turtle Man Kamekichi await near key riverways. Eliminating these criminals nets high payouts and specialized gear for Atsu.
Exploring Tokachi Range and Teshio Ridge Contracts
The mountainous Tokachi Range features elusive targets including Junpei the Snatcher near Boar's Eye Cave. Players who survive these treacherous encounters gain valuable resources to upgrade their equipment.
Further north in Teshio Ridge, fighters like Black Night Kubo challenge travelers with deadly combat encounters. Clearing these threats ensures safer passage while providing heavy financial bonuses.
Maximizing Rewards and Dynamic Hunts
Beyond standard contracts, Atsu herself becomes a target with an evolving price on her head throughout the journey. As her bounty increases up to thousands of coins, hostile patrols will aggressively attempt to track her down in open areas.
Collecting these wanted posters across Ezo restores spirit energy and keeps open-world gameplay dynamic. Mastering all thirty-one bounty locations ultimately crowns players as the ultimate hunter in the game.
