Ghost of Yotei: All Kitsune Puzzles

The enigmatic Kitsune of Ghost of Yotei are masters of illusion and deception, guarding their secrets with a series of intricate fox statue puzzles. To progress Atsu's quest and confront the Yotei Six, you must first outwit these cunning spirits by deciphering their ancient cipher and solving every challenge in the Teshio region. This comprehensive walkthrough provides step-by-step solutions for every Kitsune puzzle you will encounter.

Understanding the Kitsune Cipher: The Key to All Puzzles

Before facing the puzzles, you must acquire and master the Kitsune cipher, obtained during the main questline in Teshio Ridge. Access it at any time near a puzzle by swiping Right on the Touch Pad.The cipher translates fox statue poses into directional commands. For example, a square symbol on a lying fox means it must be rotated to face left. The most critical symbol to remember is the one with lines, representing "death." Never interact with a statue marked with this symbol, as it will trigger a deadly trap.

Complete Kitsune Puzzle Solutions

1. Gaining Entry to the Nine Tails Hideout
Your first challenge is a locked door flanked by two howling fox statues. The solution is environmental: retrieve a flaming torch from a nearby pyre and use it to light only the two braziers adorned with fox statues. If you light the wrong one, use R2 to extinguish it. Lighting the correct braziers will open the path.2. Find a Way Forward Puzzle
After a skirmish with shinobi further up the mountain, you'll find a gate with two empty podiums. Locate the two missing fox statues in the vicinity. The solution is:
  • Place the statue with its right paw raised on the left podium.
  • Place the statue with its left paw raised on the right podium.
3. Upper Building Puzzle
After obtaining the cipher and exiting a building, you'll find four movable fox statues. Rotate them in the following order (from left to right):
  • Statue 1: Face Right
  • Statue 2: Face Forward
  • Statue 3: Face Backward
  • Statue 4: Face Left
    This sequence lowers a ladder, granting access to the upper building and a valuable piece of Shinobi armor.

4. Black Dye House Puzzle
Inside the Black Dye House, you'll find statues to the left.

  • Pick up the statue with its right paw raised and place it on the right podium.
  • Rotate the right wooden board until its arrow points to the right.
  • Pick up the statue with its left paw raised and place it on the left podium.
  • Rotate the left wooden board on the floor until its arrow faces left.
    This activates a mechanism, opening a central board to reveal a ladder to a secret basement hideout.

5. Get Into the Building Puzzle
In a shinobi-filled hideout, locate the central building with four foxes at its entrance. Crucially, do not touch the back-left fox, as it bears the death symbol and will summon reinforcements.

  • Front Left Fox (right paw raised): Face Right
  • Front Right Fox (lying down): Face Right
  • Back Right Fox (stalking): Face Left
  • Back Left Fox: Leave facing forward (do not interact).

6. Pedestal Under the Tree Puzzle
At a tree pedestal with three foxes, you must light three specificbraziers using a torch from a nearby pit. Identify the braziers markedwith these specific fox statues:

  • Lying down fox
  • Sitting fox
  • Lying down fox
    Lighting these three in any order will solve the puzzle.

7. Find a Way Into the Forest Puzzle
Upon finding three fox statues in the forest, orient them as follows:

  • Left Fox (lying down): Face Right
  • Middle Fox (sitting): Face Backward (away from the gate)
  • Right Fox (right paw raised): Face Left
    Solving this reveals a snowy path laden with traps. To navigate the first death pit safely, move to the right of the initial fox statue, then left ofthe next rock.

8. Venture Further Into the Forest Puzzle
The final puzzle is a simple pedestal challenge. Scour the immediate area for two movable fox statues and place them as follows:

  • Fox with right paw raised goes on the left pedestal.
  • Fox with left paw raised goes on the right pedestal.
