Walkthrough for the Curse of Uchitsune
Follow the Blue Flowers and Find the Painting at the Tomb
Once you accept the quest, head to the Hiyoshi Coast and follow the path of the blue hydrangeas to enter the tomb. The entrance to the tomb can be found between the rocks, so look for the blue flowers on the coast as a marker and find the painting that serves as a clue.
Follow the Blue Flowers and Find the Painting on the Small Island
After finding the clue in the painting, follow the path of the blue flowers again and proceed along the coast to reach the small island. The destination is also filled with blue flowers, so be cautious of the Mongol soldiers that appear along the way. Make your way to the small island and collect the next painting.
Follow the Blue Flowers leading to the Mountain
Once you find the next painting on the small island, return to Hiyoshi Springs and aim for the mountain with blue flowers. The mountain with blue flowers is located northwest of Hiyoshi Springs, so use the blue flowers as a marker to find Hiyoshi Mountain.
Defeat the Tengu
When examining the longbow in the mountain with blue flowers, you will engage in a battle with the Tengu. The Tengu primarily uses thrust attacks with a sword, so switch to the stone stance and aim to parry while dealing damage to the Tengu.
