Prior tales

To begin The Blood Sutra you must first complete The Birth of Suffering.

Quest stages of The Blood Sutra

1. Speak with Norio

Talk to Norio. He'll mention a nearby farm that supports the temple, so you will decide to go there to look for the abbot.

Speak with Norio

The abbot of the temple was preaching resistance to the Mongols. Norio and I must find him, or Kushi Temple will fall.

2. Reach Koshimizu farm with Norio / (Optional) Free Koshimizu farm from the Mongols / Meet Norio at the bridge

Ride with Norio to Koshimizu Farmstead. When you get near the farm, you'll spot the smoke coming from one of the buildings on the farm.

Reach Koshimizu farm with Norio / (Optional) Free Koshimizu farm from the Mongols / Meet Norio at the bridge

If you have not yet liberated the farm from the hands of the Mongols, then you will have to do so first and then talk to Norio, who will be waiting for you at the bridge. If the farm is already liberated, you can go straight to the burnt building.

Reach Koshimizu farm with Norio / (Optional) Free Koshimizu farm from the Mongols / Meet Norio at the bridge

3. Go investigate the fire / Search the house for signs of the abbot

Enter the burnt-out house and examine the charred body on the floor. It will not be the body of the abbot but only remains of one of his followers. Then examine the two tipped over water barrels next to it, then a straw bedding next to the barrels, and finally the window behind. You'll come to the conclusion that the abbot managed to get out of the burned house.

Go investigate the fire / Search the house for signs of the abbot

4. Find the tracks / Follow the tracks

Jump through the window and find the footprints. Follow them along a path leading a little up the hill. After a while, you'll reach the stone stairs and come across a single Mongol. Get rid of him.

Find the tracks / Follow the tracks

Next to the place where the Mongol stood, you will find traces of blood leading to a nearby pond.

Find the tracks / Follow the tracks

5. Reach the encounter area / Defeat the Mongols / Investigate the area

Head to the pond and kill a small group of Mongols you come across over there. Then approach the edge of the waterfall and examine the blood-sprayed rock. It looks like the wounded monk jumped down.

Reach the encounter area / Defeat the Mongols / Investigate the area

6. Reach the search area / Investigate the waterfall below

Do exactly what the monk did, jump into the water below.

Reach the search area / Investigate the waterfall below

Then get out of the water and squeeze through a gap into a small cave located behind the waterfall. You'll find the monk's body there.

Reach the search area / Investigate the waterfall below

7. Investigate the monk's body

Examine the monk's body. Unfortunately, this is Abbot Komei. You will find a message that he wrote in his own blood before he died - his last sutra.

Investigate the monk's body

Together with Norio, you will automatically return to the temple where you will hand over the letter you found to the monks and thus convince them to stay in the temple. Then this tale will be over.

Investigate the monk's body

After completing The Blood Sutra you will get or will be able to get The End of Suffering (1 of 2).
