How to start it
Survivors are sheltering in a wrecked ship near Zasho Bay. Take off the Sakai Clan Armor, then sit down at their fire. An old man named Jiro is telling stories about the samurai who invaded Iki years ago, and about Kazumasa Sakai's horse.
What you do
After the first part of the story you end up outside the camp. Sneak back in and listen to the rest to learn where the horse armour went: aboard a merchant ship that sank in Zasho Bay. Swim out to the wrecks and use your grappling hook to move between them until you find it. When you get back to shore, Mongols are attacking the camp, so ride in and clear them out, then talk to the survivor.
What happensSpoilerShow
Jiro's account paints Kazumasa as brutal and says his horse died in an ambush at Senjo Gorge. Jin loses his temper, says the story is false and reveals he is Kazumasa's son, and the camp throws him out. After you defend the camp from the Eagle Tribe, Jiro thanks you and says you showed more mercy than your father did.
Jin SakaiJin Sakai is the samurai you play in Ghost of Tsushima and the Iki Island expansion. He is Lord Shimura's nephew and the last lord of Clan Sakai. After the Mongol landing he trades the samurai code for stealth and fear, and the people start calling him the Ghost.
Kazumasa SakaiLord Kazumasa Sakai is Jin's father and the former head of Clan Sakai. He died in a raider ambush on Iki Island while Jin watched, frozen with fear. That memory haunts Jin through the whole game and drives the Iki Island expansion.
