Calamity’s Seed Mission Walkthrough

Walkthrough Objectives
1 The Spirit Tree Village

Objective 1: The Spirit Tree Village

# Walkthrough
1
After the scenes at the end of A Cause Too Great, you will find yourself in a forest, with a shrine, in the form of an animal statue, a few paces ahead. From there, you only need to crouch under some roots to the left of the shrine, and follow the path north through the forest.
2 Following the path will lead you past a waterfall, up the giant natural bridge, and through overgrown ruins until you find a second shrine.
3
From this shrine, head right to get out of the forest and within sight of a village, with the giant Spirit Tree in the distance.
4
Cross the bridge below and enter the village. Go through the streets and past broken houses until you get to the third shrine, on the other end of the village. To the right of the shrine is a road leading up a flight of stairs.
5
Go up the stairs and through the gates to enter the boss arena for this mission. You will have to fight Kusanagi! This yokai prefers aerial attacks and gets support from the Red-clothed Maiden.
▶︎ How to Beat Kusanagi
6 After you defeat Kusanagi, another cutscene will play with the Red-clothed Maiden. The mission will be completed afterwards.
