Quest Walkthrough: A Shinobi on Awaji
After arriving on Awaji Island, use the nearby boat to travel to the sea coast. Once you are there, you can open your objective board and check the "People of Awaji" section. You will find that there are three different ways to approach this quest: you can eavesdrop at the docks, visit the stables, or visit the inn. You only need to choose one of these paths to advance the quest.
Option 1: Visit the Inn

Once there, enter the inn anduse the "blend in" feature by sitting with other civilians. You can then use the eavesdropping feature to listen to a conversation between theinnkeeper and a guard.
After the conversation, you must stealthily follow the guard. The best way to do this is by using the rooftops.Enter the restricted area from above and continue following him until he stops. Once he stops, you can jump down and talk to him. You will havethree different dialogue prompts to choose from:
- "Tell me or die": This option requires you to defeat the guard in combat to get the information.
- "Please, this is important": This option also requires you to defeat the guard.
- "I can pay [2000 Mon]": This is the peaceful option. You can give the guard 2000 Mon to get the information without a battle.
No matter which option you choose, once you get the information, the quest will be marked as complete.
Option 2: Visit the Stables
If you choose to visit the stables, travel to the location in Sumoto andhide inside the haystack. From here, you can eavesdrop on a conversation between a citizen and a carpenter. You will learn that a reportcontaining information on the shinobi's location can be found in thenearby Samurai Residence.
