The Great Shogun of the Heian Era Walkthrough

# Walkthrough
1 Head to Hamamatsu Castle and speak with Tokugawa Ieyasu. You can prioritize this myth in the Progress Menu to make sure you will trigger the correct dialogue.
2
Fast travel to Lake Sanaru's Waterside shrine. From there, head east up stone steps and through a bamboo forest.
3
In front of the shrine hall, you'll run into the yokai Onryoki. This yokai is large and has quick, jumping movements you should watch out for. Defeat Onryoki to proceed.
4
Go inside the hall and jump down the hole into the cave below. You can follow the path downward, then to the left where a Spirit Vein can be traversed to the other side.
5 From the Spirit Vein, head up the stairs and into a small room where an empty shrine is located. Offer the Candle Dish that Tokugawa Ieyasu gave you to this shrine.
6 Go back to Hamamatsu Castle and talk to Tokugawa Ieyasu again to complete the mission.
