This is a complete guide to finding and solving all twelve Nine Tails Puzzle Boxes in the game Ghost of Yōtei. All of these valuable collectibles, which offer crucial rewards, are located exclusively within the Teshio Ridge zone.The puzzle boxes are unique in that their type is determined by the order in which you collect them, not by their specific location. The reward and solution for the 3rd box you find, for example, will always be the same, regardless of where you picked it up.
