After Defeating Ao Andon, this completes the Yokai quest board, and you'll receive 5000 XP and 2 Mastery Points.
How to Unlock The Yokai
Find Mamushi in Nyoiji Daiji Temple
The Yokai quest board and its targets are unlocked by finding Mamushi in Nyoiji Daiji Temple, located on the Hills of Meeting. The quest itself is part of the People of Yamashiro quest board and requires you to look into the rumors involving Yokai.
Take note that if you encounter a Yokai before talking to Mamushi, it will not unlock the Yokai quest board, and you will not be able to see it in your Objectives menu.
Seasonal Yokai Targets
Despite some of these targets being marked as only available in specific seasons, they can actually be encountered in any season. However, those marked to only appear at night will truly only be available at night.
It still may be worth doing this quest board slowly along your journey instead of all at once, since these Yokai are found in different regions with different recommended levels.
Can You Change the Time of Day?
Eliminate 6 Yokai and Face the True Yokai
After dealing with Daitengu, Kappa, Suika no Bakemono, Yuki Onna, Oshiroi Baba, and Taka Nyudo, it’s revealed they were humans mistaken for Yokai. Returning to Mamushi at Nyoiji Daiji Temple triggers the appearance of the true Yokai.
You’ll face Ao Andon in a final boss battle. Defeating her completes the Yokai Quest Board.
What is The Yokai?
Unusual Citizens of Feudal Japan
The targets on the Yokai quest board appear to be a set of eccentric people that bear resemblance to the yokai told in stories. Half of the Yokai in this objectives board do not require you to kill them, though you'll still need to participate in a fight.
Because of this, Yasuke is the ideal character to bring out when dealing with most of the Yokai targets. However, Naoe might be easier to use when taking out the bandits for the Kappa quest and to assassinate Taka Nyudo.
Should You Play as Yasuke or Naoe?
Supernatural Beings in Japanese Folklore
The Yokai are creatures or spirits in Japanese folklore that now have multiple reported sightings around Yamashiro. After debunking a rumor involving Yokai, Mamushi now asks for help in revealing the truth behind these stories.
