Nameless Killer Location in Ghost of Yotei
The Nameless Killer is found at the end of the Snow's Blight Shrine on Teshio Coast, northwest of the Red Crane Inn in the Teshio Ridge region in Ghost of Yotei. He is the boss of the large camp of Nine Tails shinobi who are occupying the hideout and can only be faced after players have solved the Snow's Blight Shrine Puzzle and have defeated all other Saito clan shinobi protecting the main fort where he resides.
After you’ve collected the poster for the Nameless Killer from the Bounty Board, you will be directed towards the Teshio Coast. Follow the quest marker to this location and look for two lit braziers lighting the path between some strangely shaped stone cliffs (pictured above).
Defeat the enemies inside and you’ll find a Kitsune puzzle blocking the path ahead. Solving this puzzle requires aligning the fox statues in a certain way and lighting the braziers in a certain order.
The full solution to the Snow's Blight Shrine puzzle is found here.
Snow's Blight Hideout Guide in Ghost of Yotei
After solving the Shrine puzzle, follow the narrow path to reach the Snow's Blight Hideout. This is a massive area with a lot of Nine Tails shinobi patrolling. After you have defeated all of them, Atsu will comment that the only thing left to do is to go to the final main fort at the top of the cliff.
Climb up the stairs to reach the fort and open the door on the far end to trigger the final boss fight against the Nameless Killer.
There are multiple hidden rooms in the fort containing some nice loot. Explore everything.
How to Kill the Nameless Killer in Ghost of Yotei
Unlike other bosses, the Nameless Killer does not fight alone; he has four other shinobi helping him in this battle, each using a different weapon. The Nameless Killer himself is the enemy wearing white armor with a large spear and a shield strapped to his back.
Since the boss has the most health, the best solution is to leave him for last and take care of the other enemies first. If you have all weapons unlocked, align your weapons correctly to make this part easy. Note that these enemies often throw white powder (Metsubushi) at Atsu to blind her and prevent her from dodging. Account for that when facing off against them, and the fight should be easy.
Once the Nameless Killer is defeated, loot his body to obtain the Nameless Death Weapon Kit. Return to Kojiro the Bounty Broker to claim the 2,000 Coins reward for completing the bounty.
Make sure to visit the Altar of Reflection to the left of the Nameless Killer boss fight arena before leaving to obtain a Weapon Technique point.
