Quest Group: Tales of Tsushima
Location: Izuhara
To unlock this tale you must first complete the first act of the game and reach Toyotama, then return to Izuhara and liberate the Kechi Fishing Village. When you do this you will be able to find and talk to the woman at the dock.
Kechi has endured much hardship under the Mongols. I'll take a look around, make sure things are in order.
Talk to the woman at the dock and you'll hear from her about a group of bandits who killed her whole family. You promise her that you will find the bandits and punish them for what they did.
I met a woman named Saki who said a group of bandits are terrorizing the people of Komoda. They killed her family and countless others. I'll find these bandits and avenge their victims.
Travel to Saki's Home and go inside.
There you' ll find some corpses and a map lying on the ground that you should examine.
Go outside and walk to the back of the house where you'll find a lot of footprints.
A little further north, you'll find more footprints. Follow them north until you reach the road and then along the road to the west and uphill.
You'll eventually come across an injured man. Talk to him and you'll find out that he was attacked by the same bandits you're looking for and that you'll find them in the ruins of Komoda Town.
Head to Komoda Town. At this stage of the game you will probably be able to take advantage of the fast-travel option. Kill the bandits you encounter there and then you should be able to find and talk to a woman located in one of the buildings.
The woman will tell you the whole truth about Saki. She fell in love with one of the bandits and he took advantage of it in a cruel way. He stole rice from her parents and then killed them.
Return to Kechi to speak with Saki. You won't find her there and the man standing on the dock will inform you that she committed suicide because she blamed herself for causing her parents' death.
