How to Unlock the Hunters of Kyonyo
Kill the Ronin at the Crossroads Ambush Site in Kii
To start the Hunters of Kyonyo, head on over to the unmarked crossroads west of the Kamimisu Heights Viewpoint in Kii. You'll find an group of dead monks there with a Ronin (at half HP) sifting through the corpses. Kill the Ronin to get the Come to Yunomine quest item that triggers and reveals the Hunters of Kyonyo quest board.
This entire quest board can be finished as soon as you finish Mibuno Showdown and enter Act 2. However, do note that since the quest trigger is in Kii, it is recommended to start this quest after reaching at least level 30~35+.
