How to Start “The Other Side of Honour” Quest
You can either wait for a peasant to tell you that another samurai is living on a farm in the area, or you can just go to the mission area yourself.
As you can see on the map above, it’s to the west of the island, south of Yagata Forest, and can found by following the roads.
For completing The Other Side of Honour, you get your hands on a Minor Stealth Charm, ten pieces of Linen, and a minor increase to your Legend.

How to Track Jinroku in Ghost of Tsushima
After finding the mission and getting it started by speaking to the women of the farm, you’ll soon investigate the legitimacy of the man claiming to be a samurai.
Eventually, you’ll want to speak to Jinroku, but you’re told that he’s left the farm, commencing the ‘Track Jinroku’ task.
You need to leave the house from the front doors (not the doors that you leave the house from to take a bath) to locate the first set of footprints, as you can see below.
Follow the footprints alongside the vegetables growing beside the path.
The footprints will lead you out of the farm and towards the overlooking hill where the boarded path runs.
Follow the path behind the large rock and up the hill until you have found Jinroku – at which point you’ll need to chase him down.
So, that’s how to Track Jinroku and find Jinroku for the mission The Other Side of Honour in Ghost of Tsushima.
It’s not the trickiest mission in the game, but if you leave by the wrong doors of the house, you could end up searching the whole farm area for far too long as the game doesn’t try to help you at all – bar a few prompts that you’re leaving the mission area.
This quest is also a great warm-up before you tackle The Six Blades of Kojiro and the Straw Hat duels across Toyotama.
There’s a little more to The Other Side of Honour after you find Jinroku, but we shan’t spoil that here.
