✓ VideoGamer summary
  • Ghost of Yotei is made up of three main story chapters.
  • Each chapter is a set of main story quests that target the villainous Yotei Six.
  • Alongside the main story, Ghost of Yotei features Tales, Bounty quests, Sensei quests, and Myths quests.

The Ghost of Yotei chapters and quest list charts Atsu’s tumultuous journey through Ezo as she vies to exact revenge on the Yotei Six for killing her family. After a brief expositionary prologue, you’ll begin in the Yotei Grasslands before venturing to a total of six major regions, which serve as stages for major story beats.

Alongside the main story, Ghost of Yotei features a wealth of side quests and activities that fall into several categories: Tales, Sensei, Bounties, and Myths. These are entirely optional but are well worth taking on for a deeper understanding of the world, opportunities for character development, and a host of neat rewards, including weapons, armor sets, charms, and skins. We’ll walk you through the full Ghost of Yotei chapters and quest list.
