Starting the A True Igan Kuji Kiri Quest

You can find Kuji Kiri’s scattered across Japan but the first four that you’ll come across in the Izumi Settsu region will have a short quest. A True Igan will be the third one that becomes available and it doesn’t matter which location you visit as the game will automatically trigger the quest based on your progression. The Kuji Kiri can be found in the following locations:

  • Eboshigata Hachiman Shrine - Southwest of the Hideout
  • Fujibayashi Homestead - Northeast of Osaka Castle
  • Rolling Glen - East of Osaka Castle
  • Kawachi Heights - Southeast of the Hideout

Investigate Kunimiyama Fort

Head up the stairs to the east and speak with Sandayu, but we recommend that you pray at the shrine beforehand as it’ll give you a blessing which will temporarily increase your chance of getting critical hits. Sandayu will mention that one of the watchtowers has gone radio silent and has tasked you with checking up on the Igans to see if everything is in order.

Eavesdrop on the Oda Clan Ashigaru

Make your way over to Kunimiyama Fort which is located to the southwest and then you’ll want to climb up onto the fallen log near the entrance. Use the Grappling Hook by pressing L1/LB and swing across into the tower, then jump over the wall and dive into the tall grass to avoid being spotted. Press down on the D-Pad to lure the enemy that’s standing on the bridge and knock him out then cross the bridge and climb up onto the roof via the grappling hook.

Use the Grappel Hook to swing into the fort (left), and hide in the grass to quietly knock out the enemies while making your way to north side of the area (right)

Find the Fort Leader

Use the roofs to reach the northern side of the fort undetected, then you’ll see some swordsman sitting behind a fence that you’ll want to eavesdrop on by holding L2/LT. You’ll now want to head up to the top of the watchtower, but there’s an enemy standing guard so you’ll want to hide in the nearby grass and whistle to lure him over.

(1 of 2) Sit on the rooftop and eavesdrop on the swordsman

Sit on the rooftop and eavesdrop on the swordsman (left), then climb up to the roof of the watchtower and examine the corpse. (right)

Make your way up to the top of the tower and examine the corpse to discover that every Igan has been murdered, then make your back over to Sandayu and update him on the current situation to bring the quest to a close and you’ll be rewarded with 500 XP, 1 Knowledge Point.
