To find Houndmaster Toyotaro, you’ll need to travel to the mountain positioned between the Red Crane Inn to the southeast and Ran’s Workshop to the north. Follow the path that runs west out of the Red Crane Inn, and you’ll come across a pack of three wolves hovering over some corpses. Check the image above for the exact location of the Ghost of Yotei Houndmaster Toyotaro bounty on the map.

Once there, deal with the dogs and inspect the bodies, and then follow the path in the snow going east. You’ll spot a camp off in the distance and hear howling dogs. Examine the body in the snow before heading to the camp.

It’s worth taking out the five dogs roaming the camp before turning your attention to Houndmaster Toyotaro. He wields a Kusarigama. You can counter that by equipping your Dual Katana. His attacks are pretty rudimentary as enemies go, so parry and dodge as needed, using any opening and staggers to get in damage. He’ll go down soon enough. 

Loot his body to get Toyotaro’s Fang katana skin. Remember to report back to Kojiro the Bounty Broker to pick up 750 Mon for completing the Ghost of Yotei Houndmaster Toyotaro bounty.
