To start the yokai side quest, you need to talk to Mamushi at Nyoiji Daiji Temple. Mamushi will be annoyed, and eventually the entire dialogue will be about the existence of yokai. He will even ask you if you believe in the existence of yokai. Your answer has no effect on the yokai quest in AC Shadows. Eventually, you will agree to check out the people who claim to be yokai and report back to Mamushi whether they really exist.

The Yokai Face the kappa location

First, complete the task The Yokai Face the Kappa Location. I’ve shown you where to look on the map. When you arrive at the location, you will see two children talking to each other. You need to follow them. They will lead you to a settlement where you have to neutralize all the bandits.

Your task will automatically change during this process. After completing it, approach the two children, and you will realize that they are not yokai, but just children, and you will let them go. Now let’s check the other target.

The Yokai Face the Bakemono

It gets even more interesting. Next, we will complete the task the yokai face the bakemono. I have marked the location on the map. When you get there, you will see two strange men wearing helmets carved from watermelons. I wonder how they came up with that.

After you talk to them, you have to choose the faction you will fight for. Then it’s simple, you have to defeat the enemy. After that, it will become clear that bakemono are not yokai at all, but just strange people. So let’s go in search of the next target.

The Yokai Face the Daitengu

Next The Yokai Face the Daitengu. You can see this character’s location on the map. After the first two objectives, I didn’t expect a battle to start right away without any prior conversation. Daitengu is a warrior dressed in a frightening costume.

As soon as you approach his location, he will immediately attack you. But don’t worry, he is a regular enemy, easier than many bosses in this game. Therefore, the battle with him is like a regular fight with an ordinary ronin. After the battle, we realize that Daitengu is also a human and not a Yokai at all.

The Yokai Face the Taka Nyudo

Next, let’s check The Yokai Face the Taka Nyudo. He is located in Kabasaka Village. I have shown the exact location. When you arrive at the location, you will see that he is a common bandit who bullies the local population. You need to immediately engage in battle with this enemy and defeat him.

This is also a normal target, and if you have a good Naoe build, you will have no problem winning. After the battle, there will be a short conversation with the rescued villager. Let’s move on and look for the next target.

The Yokai Face the Oshiroi Baba

The next The Yokai Face the Oshiroi Baba. When you approach the location, you will hear terrifying sounds and think that there is a real yokai here. Immediately, a strange creature called Oshiroi Baba will attack you. You must defeat her.

After defeating the yokai, the Oshiroi Baba quest will be completed. It turns out that she is just a woman who wants to take revenge on the bandits for the death of her husband. In the end, she even apologizes for deciding to attack you. So we determine that Oshiroi Baba is also not a real yokai and move on to the next target.

The Yokai Yuki Onna AC Shadows

The last target remaining on your task board is The Yokai Yuki Onna AC Shadows. To find her, you need to locate Kaza-ana cave. If you have already completed the Yamabushi Imposters quest, you have already been to this place. This is where the defeated Mountain Yamabushi is located. This time, the target is different, but the cave is the same. Inside, you will encounter Yuki Onna.

At first, it may seem that this is a real yokai and you will engage in battle with her, but after victory, it will become clear that she is just one of the bandits and nothing more. At this point, the entire list of candidates for yokai status has been checked, and you must return to Mamushi to tell him that yokai do not actually exist. And here a real surprise awaits you.

Defeat Ao Andon AC Shadows

When you return to Mamushi, you will see a strange creature and Mamushi’s dead body. The strange creature is Ao Andon. It is a real yokai that came to Mamushi to kill him. The evil spirit looks truly terrifying. At first, Naoe will be frightened by the encounter. But later, having no other choice, you will have to Defeat Ao Andon AC Shadows. It is not difficult to defeat her.

She has a small health bar, so you can easily handle her. This is how the yokai quest ends. It turns out that real yokai exist. You have just defeated one of them. How many more are wandering the world is unknown.
