Ghost of Yotei

The Spider Lily General Walkthrough and Maze Solution

Add to Watchlist

The Spider Lily General

The Spider Lily General is a Mythic Tale you can complete in Tokachi Range in Ghost of Yotei. Learn how to clear this tale, how to unlock it, how to solve the spider lily maze, and what rewards you receive from it!

How to Solve the Spider Lily Maze

Follow the Path with the Red Spider Lilies

Once you reach the middle area with the bamboo strike, check the surrounding paths for red spider lilies and follow them. You’ll know you’re on the right path when you see a light ahead, and you return to the bamboo strike, which will now have an additional bamboo added.

The Spider Lily General Walkthrough

Quest Objectives
1. Enter the Mysterious Gate to Tominaga Estate
2. Find the Pagoda Key
3. Find the Graveyard Key
4. Find the Maze Key
5. Find the Cave Key
6. Find and Defeat General Tominaga

1. Enter the Mysterious Gate to Tominaga Estate

1.1
Go to the estate south of the Shizunai Woods in Tokachi Range. The estate is drawn on the map, making it easy to find. Once there, climb up the steps to the estate to pass through the gate. A cutscene will play where Ugetsu stops you.

After the cutscene, pass through the gate again to enter the Abandoned Tominaga Estate.
1.2
Follow the path leading deeper into the estate. At the end, you will find a locked gate. To open the gate, you need to find four keys within the estate:

• Pagoda Key
• Graveyard Key
• Maze Key
• Cave Key

2. Find the Pagoda Key

Facing away from the locked gate, you will see a pagoda to your left. Run behind the pagoda to see a chest there. Open the chest to get the Pagoda Key. A short cutscene with the spirit of General Tominaga will trigger.

3. Find the Graveyard Key

3.1
From where you found the Pagoda Key, follow the misty path behind the pagoda until you reach a graveyard with graverobbers. Defeat all the graverobbers.
3.2
Climb the ladder and a set of foot holds to reach the upper part of the graveyard. Continue following the path until you encounter more graverobbers.

While defeating the graverobbers, mist will suddenly cover the screen and all of them will drop to the ground.
3.3
Approach the campfire to get the Graveyard Key beside it.

4. Find the Maze Key

4.1
Return to the area with the locked gate. Facing away from the gate, this time take a right, going past a building.
4.2
Take the left path past the building into a bamboo thicket until you reach the middle area with a bamboo strike.
4.3
To get the key here, you will have to follow the trail of red spider lilies leading to a light.

You have to do this three times, and each correct path you take will add a bamboo in the bamboo strike.
4.4
Once there are three bamboos in the bamboo strike, you can now take the Maze key from it. You can also attempt to finish the bamboo strike in order to increase your maximum spirit.

Follow the red spider lilies again to find your way out.

5. Find the Cave Key

5.1
Exiting the tunnel to the Maze Key, turn left and follow the path leading to the Southern Caverns. You should see a Saito outlaw with a torch at the cave entrance. Talk to him before proceeding inside.
5.2
Inside the cave, follow the path lit by lanterns until you reach a wall you have to climb. Continue climbing up until you reach the top. Once up there, crawl through the hole to enter another section of the cave.
5.3
Follow the path, crossing a log, until you enter another cave where you hear General Tominaga and a Saito outlaw. Inside this cave, you will see a painted wall and items around. Take the Cave Key from where the candles are.

6. Find and Defeat General Tominaga

6.1
Return to the locked gate to unlock it. Head in and turn right to slide the door open to a dueling ring. Examine the blood on the ground.
6.2
Run ahead until you reach a small cave blocked by a wooden gate. Use your grappling hook to pull it down and pass through.
6.3
In a misty area, you will fight General Tominaga.

After beating him, run up the slope to find the Spider Lily Armor seated on a grave marker. Read the note to claim the armor and end the tale.
