Part 97

Start by activating the Shrine. Head forward and eliminate the Onmyo Mage and the Ninja. Snipe the Ninja's head for an easy kill before engaging the mage.

Climb the nearby ladder. Proceed linearly, taking out the numerous Ninjas along the path one by one. You can snipe some of them. Collect the [_CORPSE_] and perform a dropping attack on a Ninja below as you navigate to the lower courtyard.

Drop down and defeat the Fiend in the mist. To the left of the Fiend is a [_CORPSE_]. To the right, you'll find two Mages and a kneeling Ninja. Snipe the Ninja to isolate the Mages, then use wide sweeping attacks to defeat them and claim the [_CORPSE_].

Descend the nearby steps to face two more Ninjas. One will use arrows; either defeat it quickly or lure it around a corner to avoid ranged attacks.

Enter the castle. Check the left stalls for a [_CORPSE_]. The door here is locked, so proceed to the sewer area.

In the sewer area, defeat the two Flan enemies and ascend the ladder. In the adjacent water area, find a [_CORPSE_]. Navigate the narrow path to the other side room.

Defeat the Ninja around the corner and the Dweller down the steps. Continue through the outer rooms, defeating two Mages.

Head down to the lower water area to face a Ninja Yokai. Use a headshot followed by a drop attack for significant damage, then claim the [_CORPSE_].

Return to the area where the Mages were. Snipe a patrolling Fiend below to draw it closer, then defeat it. Engage the second Fiend, drawing it over if necessary.

Near the stairs leading down and the gate to the left, you'll encounter THREE Flan enemies. A Fire Talisman is recommended. Defeat them and proceed down the stairs.

To the right is a Ninja with a CANNON. As you approach, a second Ninja will appear. Lure the second Ninja back around the corner and defeat it, then snipe the cannon Ninja.

Head left into the room and defeat the Ninja Yokai in the mist. Continue into the room on the right, then the next room, and finally the hallway, defeating the Mages in each. This path leads back to the area of the cannon Ninja, where you can find a [_CORPSE_].

Drop down and proceed forward to face an Amrita Fiend in the mist. Defeat it and unlock the door.

Continue forward, collecting a [_CORPSE_] on the left. A Ninja is at the end. Before proceeding left to finish the mission, you can go right to fight a Yoki across the way. After defeating the Yoki, a [_CORPSE_] is found around the corner. You can also explore the waterway to find another [_CORPSE_] and defeat two Dweller enemies, though there are no items at the very back.

Return to the area of the initial Shrine. Defeat the two Mages and the Ninja that drops down. Prioritize headshotting one Mage and defeating the other before engaging the Ninja, who serves as the boss. Defeating the Ninja concludes the mission.
