Ghost of Yotei: How to Complete the Reliquary of Courage

ghost of yotei reliquary statue feature

Ghost of Yotei features the Reliquary of Courage puzzle to complete. Players can encounter it early on when they arrive at the Yotei Grasslands. However, upon inspecting the area and speaking with the NPC, it seems there’s not much to go on. It took me some time to figure out what to do, but now I know. But, rather than have you get stuck, we are here to help you get through it. Ghost of Yotei has much to offer players, and these puzzles are just one of the things you can come across. In this case, the Reliquary of Courage can be solved easily with the details below.

How to Solve the Reliquary of Courage

To solve the Reliquary of Courage, first speak to the NPC woman standing at the pedestal. Then, interact with the statue to reveal a riddle with clues on what players need to do to solve it. More specifically, this is the riddle that players will see on the statue:

  • “A boy was lost and alone,
  • But wolves came from every corner to guide him
  • Their eyes gazing at the true Mount Yotei”

Now the riddle may seem odd, but the answer is hidden in plain sight. There are four different dirt pathways connected to the main statue. At the end of them is a statue of a wolf. Players must interact with the statues to turn them. What you must do is turn them so that the wolf on each statue is facing towards Mount Yotei. For reference, the mountain is the big, most prominent landmark in the game, with a snow-capped top. Once you turn all four wolf statues to face Mount Yotei, head back to the main statue in the center. Here, you will be rewarded with the Charm of Mount Yotei. Equipping this reduces all damage taken by a minor amount. If you haven’t found the Reliquary of Courage, we have the location below.

Where is the Reliquary of Courage in Ghost of Yotei?

The Reliquary of Courage puzzle is in the Yotei Grasslands. More specifically, it can be found to the left of Yotei’s Shadow Inn on the map. While heading to the inn, you may stumble across it. For further reference, it can also be found to the left of the Nupur River. It has various patches of trees surrounding it on four sides to help it seem secluded. When you begin to get close to it, a yellow bird will appear and begin leading you to it. You will know when you are at it, as there will be a woman NPC standing at the statue to interact with.

Many of the puzzles and secrets in Ghost of Yotei blend in seamlessly with the environment. As was the case with its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima. However, fortunately, there are open entrances on each side of the Reliquary, making it much easier to spot. Furthermore, players don’t have to progress far into the game to find it. You can get to it right after finishing the “Home” section at the beginning of the game. To make things much easier, our map above gives you the exact location where you can find the puzzle area.

Ghost of Yotei is massive, and exploring it can be worthwhile. Solving the different Reliquary you come across can provide useful equipment. Whether for the early or late stages of the game. The items can give you the upper hand against the Yotei Six and Saito’s Outlaws. So be sure to explore and see what the game has to offer.
