The Impact of Loss Walkthrough

Find Hotoke

• Travel up the slope to right as you face the peasant who assigned you this quest. Hotoke can be found kneeling by a tent, wearing a green skirt and blue dress. Interact with her to speak to her.

Follow Hotoke

• Accompany Hotoke on her journey to find the rescue party.

Investigate the battle site

• The two of you will eventually arrive at a post-skirmish scene with a trail of corpses lying on the ground. Track along the trail until you reach a dirt path with a bag of rice on the floor.
• Interact to inspect the bag, triggering a new objective to follow the rice trail.

Walk Along the Narrow Rice Trail

• Track along the narrow trail of rice, which will be indented with a set of footprints. You should eventually arrive at the shore of a lake.

Clear the Shore of Mongols

• You will encounter a group of Mongols upon arrival. Dispatch of them quickly.

Scan the Area for Captives

• Approach the panoramic viewpoint and interact to pan around, looking form one side to another to scan for captives. Follow the white circle and interact with it to zoom in on the proper areas to perform a more thorough visual search.

Choose which hostage to save

• Once you successfully locate the two main captives, you must choose to save one and only one - rescuing one will always result in the death of another. These two captives are, respectively, Hotoke's husband on the right, and the Monk on the left, whom you have been searching for since the beginning.
• Scenario 1, saving Hotoke's Husband: Should you choose to save Hotoke's husband, she would be very happy and grateful to you.
• Scenario 2, saving the Monk: On the other hand, Hotoke will loathe you for choosing the Monk over her husband, and causing her child to be raised without a father to look up to.
• The choice is entirely a matter of preference as they do not result in any major repercussions for the remainder of the story, outside of your relationship with Hotoke.
• After saving your preferred hostage, clear the rest of the Mongols on the shore.
• Pay attention to the one with the red skull on top of his head, as that indicates that he is about to execute an additional hostage. Eliminate him as quickly as possible to prevent that from happening.
• The quest will then come to an end with a cutscene featuring Hotoke's reaction depending on your choice, and the saved hostage's gratitude towards you.
• Warning: If Scenario 1 is chosen, should you travel back to the southern side of Lake Nagata and visit the camp again, Togo is the only person remaining. He claims that due to Doshun's death most of the survivers left, and those who stayed didn't have food or medicine. Hotoke contracted an illness, and he was forced to bury her and their unborn child, and it is assumed he's buried the rest of the survivers with her.
