The Snake Walkthrough

Quest Objectives
1. Kill the Outlaws Abusing the Horse
2. Confront The Snake and Defeat his Men
3. Kill The Snake

1. Kill the Outlaws Abusing the Horse

Play through the cutscenes until you take control of Atsu in a town in the Yotei Grasslands. Walk towards the group of outlaw throwing rocks at the horse.

Confront the outlaws and kill them. Follow the instructions on the screen to learn the basic attack controls!

2. Defeat The Snake's Men

Defeat More of The Snake
After deafing the outlaws, head towards the house to confront The Snake. Enemies will come rushing out of the house after that.

You will be able to learn about targeting the enemies and blocking at this part of the quest.

3. Kill The Snake

Defeat The Snake
The Snake will come out of the house to personally fight you after defeating his men. Block all of his attacks until he's out of breath, and then counterattack.

You can also keep hitting him until you broke his guard, but he can dodge and try to hit you back, increasing the risk of getting damaged. Once he launches the Charged Attack (Yellow Glint), you won't be able to dodge or block it as it is a scripted event, marking the end of the fight.
