On Iki Island, there are two more Mythical Tales for you to claim some more legendary rewards. The first tale you may access isThe Legend of Black Hand Riku. This can be done after meeting Tenzo and finishingA Raider’s Return quest.
Upon A Raider’s Return completion, you need to listen toKashira’s tale in Fune’s Refuge. Listen to the tail, then leave the refuge. Now you must search for Minato, the other survivor onMount Takenotsuji—well to the east of your current location.
Not long after reaching your destination, you’ll encounter Mongols who have taken Minato hostage. If you don’t deal with the Mongols fast enough, they will kill Minato. You can either deal with this stealthily and pick them off one by one or issue a standoff, kill three of the enemies, then go into Ghost Stance and deal with the rest. After all, are dead, rescue Minato—then rest at her campfire until nightfall.
You must now travel to the northeastern coast to locate glowing water. This is the same area where you’re able to complete the next story tale, Jin from Yarikawa. Find a path leading to the water, avoid the Mongols on the boat, and continue to the left. You’ll find some glowing water and then have to head directly north, near the Thunderhead Cliffs, to find more. The quickest way is to get into the water and start swimming in the direction of theGuiding Windif you have the tale tracked
Eventually, you will come to a cave. Investigate theMysterious Cave, and light the nearby brazier with a fire arrow—grapple hook to open the dark passage and continue on. You’ll have to continuously light braziers as you journey through the dark cave. Next to each brazier, you can resupply your fire arrows, so you don’t run out.
Continue until you find a scroll and a statue in front of it. Go right of the statue and climb the ladder. Light the three braziers around this area. Then to the left of the ladder is another Grapple Hook point to tar down the barricade and squeeze through.
Once on the other side, you’ll find another scroll and a statue down below to your right. Behind the statue is a chest of iron, but you need to go to the left—opposite the statue, and you’ll see boxes and barrels stacked against the wall. Go right of these and proceed down the path.
When you’re in the right area, you’ll know where the area is lightened up by paper lanterns and not by the braziers you set on fire. Walk towards the water, andBlack Hand Rikuwill appear. You have to defeat the pirate in a duel. Take your time, parry, and dodge the red attacks. When the pirate falls, collect the Sarugami Armour from the corpse.
Exit the cave by grappling a wooden barricade, and outside you’ll be ambushed by raiders. A battle that allows you to test out your new armour capabilities.
