To begin Honor and Ash you must first complete From the Darkness.
Quest stages of Honor and Ash
1. Exit the building / Escape from Castle Shimura
Exit through the window...
...and climb a ladder to the roof of the neighboring building.
Go to the other side of the roof, jump on a slackline and walk over it to the other side.
Jump down on the tent and quickly enter the house in front of you through the window.
Leave the house through the window on the other side, pass the next tent by going from its right side, and squeeze through a gap in the wall. When you do that, your escape will be discovered and the samurai will start looking for you.
2. Reach your horse in the stables
Jump on the roof of the smaller building on the right and then on the roof of the larger one.
Cross the line to the roof of the building on the left and then the second line to the roof of the stable and jump on its roof.
Go inside through the hole in the roof and approach your horse. You must approach him from the front.
When you do that, you automatically mount the horse and start riding. You will manage to escape, but during the escape your horse will be shot.
Your horse's wounds will be so serious that you will soon have to say goodbye to him.
I escaped my samurai captors thanks to Kenji's help, but it almost cost me my life. Now a winter storm is closing in and I've lost my trusted horse... Another loyal friend gone too soon.
I have to reach Kin Sanctuary. l have to find Yuna.
3. Push forward to reunite with Yuna / Reach the sacred tree without being seen
Walk ahead until you see the village and the big burnt tree where Yuna was supposed to be waiting for you. You'll see some Mongols around the tree. You don't have any weapons so you have to get to the tree without being noticed by them.
A relatively simple way to get to the tree unnoticed is by taking the left side. There is a lot of grass in which you can hide and a large, partially burnt house where you can hide.
Watch out for the patrol and the soldier standing on the rock. Wait until the patrol walk away and the soldier on the rock turns his back on you and then sneak into a small burnt house.
Then sneak to the big house and go inside through the window.
In the house, jump over the railing to get to the slightly open door.
Use your focused hearing to see when the Mongol patroling the area is, and when it's safe, squeeze through the door and hide in the grass a few steps further away.
Wait in the grass until the Mongol patrolling the area passes by and walk over the fallen tree trunk to the sacred tree.
4. Reach the search area / Investigate the area further
Inside the sacred tree you'll only find the corpses of a few people killed by the Mongols.
Go towards the river and examine the body lying there and then you will understand that the Mongols also started to use the poison - your poison!
Suddenly you will be shot with a poisoned arrow. You'll start vomiting. When you can control your character, go towards the bridge to hide in the storm. After a while you will fall to the ground and lose consciousness.
When you regain consciousness, you will realize that Yuna saved your life again. She will tell you that Khan is in Port Izumi and you will decide to look for a safe place somewhere close.
I escaped my samurai captors, but I almost lost my life when the Mongols poisoned me. They learned to reverse engineer my poison... and they're using it against our people. More than ever, I have to stop them.
Yuna says Khotun Khan has established a stronghold at Port Izumi. She and I need to find a safe place to rest and plan our next move.
5. Collect your gear
Get your equipment out of the crate under the window.
6. Meet Yuna near the lookout tower / Survey the area
Yuna will be waiting for you near the lookout tower and will tell you to climb the tower and find a place suitable for your new hideout. Climb up and survey the area. Jogaku's pagoda seems to be the perfect place, there's only one problem - it's occupied by the Mongols.
7. Reach the stables / Ride out with Yuna
Get off the tower and go to the stable where a new horse will be waiting for you.
Mount it and ride with Yuna until you get near the temple.
8. Head to the frozen lake / Survey the frozen lake
Head to the frozen lake and take a look at the Mongol camp on the other side. You will notice a signal canon and several prisoners.
9. Approach the ice fishing camp / Free the prisoners at the ice fishing camp
The prisoners are in a house closer to the lake. When you're spotted, the Mongols will try to kill them and you can't let them do that. So try to stay hidden for as long as possible and eliminate your opponents one by one quietly. When you kill all the Mongols, release the hostages.
10. Review the plan of attack
Step on the rocks where Yuna is and and survey the area near the temple. You will notice the explosives left on the lake and the archers on the other side. You will decide to lure the archers to you and use the explosives to eliminate them.
11. Set off the signal fireworks
Detonate the fireworks.
12. Return to Yuna / Defeat the Mongols
The Mongols will start running towards you. If you shoot the explosives at the right moment, you will eliminate most of them. Kill the rest of them in any way you want.
13. Scout the grounds of Jogaku Temple / Find the frozen waterfall / Enter Jogaku Temple
Make your way to to the Jogaku Temple, and find the frozen waterfall that is on the right side. Then follow Yuna up the waterfall to enter the temple.
14. Defeat the warlord and his guards
You'll encounter several Mongols in the temple. All of them will be busy with the bullying of the captured monks and will be turned their backs on you so you can approach the warlord and slaughter him. Then activate the ghost stance and use it to kill those enemies you find most dangerous. Then finish the rest of the Mongols. Be careful, because they might try to kill the hostages, so don't let them do this.
15. Rescue the hostages at the temple / Speak with the prisoner
Once you kill all the Mongols, set the monks free.
