Gennojo - Stolen Hearts Walkthrough

By

Gennojo had you steal a scroll from an enemy compound, which contained a map of Yamashiro and the rice reserves for the town. He wants to get the rice from the fat pigs of the government and bring it back to the people. He managed to convince Naoe to help him steal the rice, leading to the Stolen Hearts quest.

Stolen Hearts Location

To meet up with Gennojo, you’ll still be in the Kyoto area, but on the eastern outskirts. In fact, he will be found right on the stairs leading to the Kiyomizudera Temple. If you forgot where that is, it’s straight east from the Honnoji Temple in Kyoto, across the two bridges. As soon as you get there, you’ll see that Gennojo is absent. What is worrisome is that there’s a huge blood stain on the ground, so go up and inspect it to change the objective to finding Gennojo.

(1 of 3) Stolen Hearts will lead you to the base of the Kiyomizudera Temple.

Stolen Hearts - Gennojo’s Location

Now, here is where the game is a little misleading, as the objective mentions Gennojo being in southwestern Hills of Meeting (the sub-region here). It’s not true that he’s here, since you can search high and low, and won’t find a single clue. Pretty much right where you found the blood on the ground, there is a woman you can speak with that mentions two samurai getting into an altercation with Gennojo and carried him away to a small village north of the temple.

You will find the two men and Gennojo just south of the Gion Kakurega. If you don’t know where that is, follow the road from the temple to the north/northwest, which will bring you right to the small village. Get on the roof of the building there to get a prime spot for a Double Assassination, although one of the two samurai will have four health segments, so it’s possible he’ll survive. Clean up any survivors, then go ahead and help Gennojo.

Stolen Hearts - Romance Answers

There will be a romance option during this scene, so if you wish to continue that path, pick I’m here for you. During the next cutscene inside the building, there will be one final choice, which will be the final one for the romance with Gennojo. Choosing I’d like to embrace you will finish up the romance with Gennojo, resulting in another extra scene. Once this is over, that will wrap up this quest, but you will still have one more with Gennojo, The Godless Harvest.
