The Worth of a Man Walkthrough

Quest Objectives
2. Defeat or Pay the Ronin
3. Free the Prisoner

1. Defeat or Pay the Ronin

GOY - Confront Ronin for Prisoner

At the hideout, you will see a ronin sitting on the ground by a shed and an imprisoned Matsumae scout nearby. Confront the ronin about the scout.

You have two options to release the Matsumae scout: attack the ronin or pay him for the scout's release. Either option will not change the outcome of the quest.

All Possible Outcomes

Choice Outcome
Forcefully free the prisoner by attacking the ronin The ronin camp will become hostile. Defeat all the ronin then free the prisoner.
Pay the ronin 450 coins for the prisoner's freedom The ronin will allow you to free the prisoner and peacefully leave the camp.

If you do not have the money to pay the ronin, attacking him to free the prisoner is the quicker option to clear the quest. This option also allows you to save your money.

Alternatively, you may complete other side quests first to obtain the 450 coins, as the ronin gives you the option to pay some other time.

2. Free the Prisoner

GOY - Ask Prisoner About Yotei Six

Whatever option you chose, you will free the scout regardless. You may ask the prisoner for information regarding the Yotei Six before ending the side quest.
