As you conclude your training arc with Master Enomoto in Teshio Ridge, you’ll unlock the Ghost of Yotei The Kusarigama’s Shame sensei quest. Presumably and loosely inspired by King Arthur’s sword in the stone myth, the quest tasks you with extracting Enomoto’s prized kusarigama from a stone owl statue in a hidden area behind his dojo.

The quest details don’t offer much information about what’s required to free the weapon. Here’s how to free the kusarigama from the statue in the Ghost of Yotei The Kusarigama’s Shame quest.

To free the kusarigama from the statue for the Ghost of Yotei The Kusarigama’s Shame quest, you’ll need to unlock skills and techniques in the kusarigama skill tree.
