Makino Kurumazuka Kofun Walkthrough and Location

Makino Kurumazuka Kofun Walkthrough

How to Complete Makino Kurumazuka Kofun

The Makino Kurumazuka Kofun can only be accessed and completed by Yasuke. If you're currently using Naoe, switch characters before attempting to enter the Kofun.

Step Walkthrough
1

Find this Kofun by going north from the Banana Cutters Watchtower, or east of Takatsuki. Head inside as Yasuke.
2

Pick up an explosive barrel from outside, and head down the steps. Place the barrel by the rock barrier and shoot it with a Bow or Teppo to clear the way.
3

You'll reach a room with a chest. In front of it is a structure you can push back to clear a path. The other structure cannot be moved yet as it serves as the shortcut exit for later.
4

Keep heading forward and you will find another wooden structure. This time, pull it backwards and enter the opening.
5

In the next room, blow up the blockage with explosive barrels that connects back to the room you were just in.
6

Grab an extra explosive from the connecting room and place it at the top of the stairs near the destructible wall. If needed, the explosives will respawn in the same spot.
7

Climb up the wooden structure you pulled earlier to get a good angle at the barrel to shoot.
8

In the next room, swim across the water and head up the stairs.
9

You will find crates in the next room. Destroy these to pick up an explosive barrel from the room behind them.
10

Place the explosive across the small gap in the path, next to the destructible wall. Shoot the barrel from a safe distance and continue on to the next area with a crawling path to the left.
12

Turning left and crawl underneath into the next zone. You can check the other side of this room to replenish bullets or arrows if needed.
13

After crawling through, you'll see a rope acting as a bridge for a gap. Walk on it or jump down directly — either way, you'll fall without damage. Below, pull back another wooden structure and move it to the next wall to climb.

Final Room Solution

Step Walkthrough
1

Upon entering the final room, first grab a hold of the wood furthest from you and pull it all the way back, and slot it into the deepest part of the track.
2
Next, head to the center and pull back the wood structure blocking a path. Pull it back and swing it to the narrow slot on the right.
3
Head to the next room and turn right, following the narrow tunnel path all the way.
4
At the end of the narrow tunnel, move the wood blockades out of the way.
5
Pick up the explosive barrel in the room and head back down the stairs. Go left toward the wooden structure and use it to parkour to the next one you set up earlier.
6
Once you're on the wooden structure that is closer to the destroyable wall, aim high and toss the barrel towards it. Shoot the barrel and hop in the opening you made.
7
You will find the Legendary Chest and the exit next to it in the room past the opening.
