How to Recruit Yagoro
Complete A Blade in the Dark
Yagoro's recruitment quest is called A Blade in the Dark, which can be done in Engyoji in the Harima region. You start this quest by examining an assassinated body at Maniden Hall.
At the end of this quest, you can ask Yagoro to join your team. You do not need to make any specific choices in order to recruit him, so you can guarantee that he will become an ally as long as you ask him to join you.
Complete Secrets of the Blade
The quest needed for Yagoro's recruitment can be unlocked by completing the Secrets of the Blade quest. This is a Naoe Quest that can be unlocked after completing Wolves and Foxes, which unlocks in Act 2.

Unknown Shinobi Appears in The League
