Quest Group: Tales of Tsushima
Tale: Ishikawa Tale
Location: Toyotama
Prerequisites: To play this tale, you must first complete the tale Dreams of Conquest.
This tale will be unlocked when you complete the "Dreams of Conquest" tale.
(6 of 9) Sensei lshikawa's former student, Tomoe, has plans to erect Mongol archery training camps across Toyotama. One is in Kushi. There's a small settlement just over the Yarikawa border where I can begin the hunt.
Go to the Kawamata Village and approach one of the men there. He will be frightened when he sees you as he heard that you and Sensei Ishikawa are robbing people.
Tomoe and her Mongol archers have framed Sensei Ishikawa and I for killing innocent travelers in Kushi. We have to find her training camp and put an end to this.
Take the road north to the place marked on the map. There you will find six Mongolian archers attacking Ishikawa who took cover on top of the watchtower. Get rid of the attackers.
Climb up the watchtower. The villager who was saved by Ishikawa will confirm that Tomoe is attacking caravans and blaming you.
Mount your horse and ride with Ishikawa to the place where the convoy was attacked. Examine the corpses of those who did not survive, a warning pinned to the corpse of one of the victims and traces of blood on the road.
Follow Ishikawa. At some point you will hear screams coming from a nearby camp. When you get to this camp, you will find only one tied up woman there. When you release her, you will realize that it is an ambush. You will be fired upon by several archers located on the surrounding cliffs.
You will be attacked from two sides. Quickly take cover behind the straw bales near the tent and first get rid of three archers on the cliff in front of you.
Then move on behind tanother straw bales and from there eliminate the archers on another cliff. You can, of course, kill them in any other way, for example by climbing the rocks and using your sword.
To end this tale, talk to Ishikawa. You will be a little angry at Ishikawa when he tells you that he asked the woman who was shot in the camp to help him find Tomoe's camp.
After completing this tale, you will be able to play the tale Friends in Passing.
