Ghost of Yotei: Another Man’s Treasure is a main tale in the Echoes of Sekigahara expansion that takes Atsu to Ashoro Springs to find Saito’s hidden war funds.
The quest involves investigating the Snake’s former associates, completing bounty-related objectives, following clues to a hidden estate, and confronting Ichizo the Toad.
This guide explains how to start Another Man’s Treasure, complete its major objectives, and find the Snake’s hidden home without getting stuck along the way.
How to Start Another Man’s Treasure
You must first reach the Ashoro Foothills in the Echoes of Sekigahara expansion and progress through the events surrounding Ashoro Springs.
Once the town is accessible and its bounty board is available, head to the board to begin the quest.
The mission follows Atsu and Nagato as they investigate the money and supplies connected to Saito’s forces. Your investigation eventually leads to the Snake’s former associates and his hidden estate.
Another Man’s Treasure Walkthrough
Step 1: Find Umakichi the Bear Slayer
Start by selecting the relevant bounty at the Ashoro Springs bounty board. Follow the marker until you reach a captured bear and the surrounding enemies.
Free the bear before finishing the encounter, then defeat Umakichi the Bear Slayer. Once the fight is over, question him about Saito’s war funds.
Umakichi cannot tell Atsu where the fortune is hidden, but he provides an important lead: Ichizo the Toad, the Snake’s former right-hand man. This clue helps move the investigation forward.
Step 2: Track Down Bunzaemon the Butcher
Your next major objective involves Bunzaemon the Butcher, who is connected to the supply of food for Saito’s forces.
Travel to Nishimura Slaughterhouse in the Blooming Trails area and follow the quest marker to locate him. Defeat him and complete the confrontation that follows.
The villagers want Bunzaemon kept alive so he can help repair the damage he has caused. Once this sequence is complete, recover the food and return to Ashoro Springs.
Speak with the Hot Spring Attendant outside the inn when prompted. After the memory sequence, reunite with Nagato and follow him toward the route used by the Snake’s food carts.
Step 3: Follow the Cart Tracks to the Snake’s Estate
With the bounty-related investigation progressing, follow the cart tracks through the swamp alongside Nagato.
Pay attention to the surroundings as you move forward. The route contains Viper traps, which indicate that someone is trying to keep intruders away from the area.
Eventually, the tracks lead to an old gate near the Snake’s Estate. However, the obvious entrance is blocked, so you cannot simply walk through the main approach.
Look around the blocked entrance for a section of rotted wood. Break through this weak section to enter the estate.
Once inside, search the area for clues. You will find a torn drawing depicting Mount Akan and a note indicating that Ichizo the Toad was instructed to secure the Snake’s house.
These clues point you toward the next objective.
Step 4: Defeat Ichizo the Toad
Continue exploring the Snake’s Estate until you encounter Ichizo the Toad.
Prepare for combat before approaching him. Use your preferred weapon stance, watch for openings in his attacks, and avoid becoming surrounded if other enemies are present.
After defeating Ichizo, collect the key to the Snake’s home. This is the crucial item needed to continue the investigation.
Return to the locked house that Atsu and Nagato discovered earlier and use the key to enter. Inside, examine the paintings and other available evidence carefully.
The clues reveal more about the Snake’s operation, including connections to Portuguese gold and foreign ships.
The investigation eventually points toward Mount Akan and leads into the next main tale, A Past and Present Battle.
Tips for Completing Another Man’s Treasure
Follow the objective marker when the route becomes unclear.
The swamp and estate contain several paths that can make navigation confusing. Look for the cart tracks and environmental clues rather than wandering away from the mission area.
Complete the two story-related bounty objectives. Umakichi the Bear Slayer and Bunzaemon the Butcher provide important leads for progressing through the investigation.
If the story does not advance, check whether you have completed their objectives.
Look for the rotted wood near the blocked entrance. This is the easiest obstacle to miss when trying to enter the Snake’s Estate.
Inspect the area beside the gate instead of repeatedly attempting to use the main entrance.
Do not leave without Ichizo’s key. Defeating Ichizo is not enough on its own. Make sure you collect the key and use it on the Snake’s locked home to continue the quest.
