Lighting Up Similar Fox Statues

Open the Coastal Structures hideout entrance by lighting the fox statues that match the pose of the statue behind them. There are three sets of fox statues you need to activate in order to proceed into the hideout. You can use the torch found beside the hideout gate to light the statues.

2. Enter the Gate and Make Your Way to the End of the Cave

Going to the Snow Drift Hideout

Crawl through the gate that opens after solving the fox puzzle. Climb down the ladder and follow the wooden ledges, which will lead you to the opposite end of the cave where you’ll find the Snow Drift Spring Hideout.

3. Clear the Snow Drift Spring Hideout Camp

Clearing the Snow Drift Hideout

Clear the Snow Drift Spring Hideout by eliminating all Kitsune members. For an easier approach, we recommend taking them out one by one using stealth. The best route is from the right side of the hideout, where most enemies will have their backs turned, making it easier to perform assassinations.

After clearing the hideout, you will find the final set of fox puzzles to solve. Similar to the entrance, light the fox statues that matches the pose of the statues behind them. This will activate a rope, allowing you to reach your rewards in the form of loot, a puzzle box, and access to an Altar of Reflection.
