From the Darkness Walkthrough
Infiltrate the First Keep of Castle Shimura
- This quest is immediately available upon completing "The Fate of Tsushima".
- To begin this quest, speak to Yuna who is standing next to a crack on the wall.
- Before you begin to infiltrate the keep of Castle Shimura, make sure to check the merchants to purchase upgrades.
- For this objective, you'll need to sneak inside the keep. Avoid being detected and to raise the Mongol alarm.
- Head down the rocks on your right and begin by swinging onto the wood and land onto the rock by the waterfall.
- Cross the fallen tree trunk and jump towards the ledge where you can grapple on.
- Climb to the top until you reach a window leading to the keep. When you reach it, immediately crouch to avoid being seen by the patrolling Mongol guard that's inside.
- When you see it looking inside one of the rooms, jump through the window and assassinate the guard.
- Use your Focused Hearing to hear enemy movements. There will be a bunch of enemies here that are patrolling so always use the focused hearing to check for enemies around every corner.
- Climb up the ladder, then quickly move behind the wall. There's another Mongol guard here.
- Assassinate the guard then climb up the next ladder to reach the top.
- There's an archer her and a spearsman. Use focused hearing to identify which side of the tower they are at.
- Once you've killed both guards, head to the survey point to begin scouting the area.
- There are four points of interest here that you need to find. One in the middle, and three to the left.
Sneak through the garden
- Once you've surveyed the area, you need to sneak through the garden.
- From where the survey point is, jump down to the roof and you'll see a slackline that you can stand and walk on to avoid the enemy's line of sight.
- Keep going forward until you reach the watch platform where there's an archer. Approach the guard then assassinate him.
- Continue crossing by using the slackline then jump onto the top of the shed that's on the right.
- Once you're on it, if you look to the left side by the locked gate, you'll see a crack on the wall that you can squeeze through to get into the garden.
- Use a wind chime or firecracker to distract the Mongol guards if they are near the crack - when they're not looking quickly move towards the crack and squeeze through to reach the garden.
Poison the Mongol’s fermented milk
- Once you're through, hide by the tall grass and continue forward until you reach a stone wall. There will be a Mongol soldier ahead that you can assassinate.
- Climb up the wall and position yourself on top of the roof of a circular tent. You'll see another slackline that you can walk on and use to cross to the other roof.
- From here, just stay on high ground, make sure you are crouching to avoid being seen and make your way towards the barrels of milk.
- Make sure to use your wind chime or firecrackers to distract them if you need to.
- There are two barrels here that you need to reach. Once you approach one, press R2 to poison it - you'll trigger another cutscene once you're done poisoning both barrels.
Duel with Ryuzo
- Right, so we've just poisoned a bunch of Mongol guards.
- Before heading to the main keep, make sure to check the tents to gather resources.
- Enter the keep and another cutscene will trigger... Guess what. it's Ryuzo again!
- After the cutscene, you'll enter a duel against Ryuzo. His moves are the same when you fought him in the quest "Shadow of the Samurai".
- Stone Stance is best to use against Ryuzo.
- Watch out for the unblockable attacks which are highlighted with a red line. Dodge and then counterattack.
- By now you also should have unlocked the Unyielding Sword Parry technique. If you did, you will be able to block and parry his attacks that are indicated with a blue line.
- When the opportunity is available, use one of your Mythic attacks such as Heavenly Strike to attack him with an unblockable attack. Just remember that unleashing a mythic attack requires Resolve. So keep an eye out for the number of Resolves that you have.
- Simply defeat Ryuzo to complete this mission.
