- The next tale is A Gathering Storm.
What you do
Talk with Yuna at Jogaku Temple, then look for Takeshi's Camp in Sago. Talk to Takeshi and continue at the cliff overlook. Then head for Fort Kaminodake, where the hunters wait for you at a lumber camp.
Fort Kaminodake
Scale the cliff to get inside, survey it and kill the first group of Mongols. Regroup with the hunters and ambush a patrol, then push through the fort. Look into the battle at the Toyotama Gate, scout the keep and cross the bridge as samurai or Ghost. Disable the hwacha crews, clear the rest and reunite with your allies.
Tips
The bridge crossing lets you pick open combat or stealth. Getting the hwacha operators down quickly makes the rest of the fight much easier.
Travel lock
This tale is the end of the travel lock that starts in The Fate of Tsushima. Before it, fast travel to Toyotama and Izuhara is off. Once Fort Kaminodake falls, the road south is open and your allies can regroup at Jogaku Temple.
