Ghost of Yotei: Can you complete the last bounty?

Why can't you complete 100% of the bounty hunter contracts in Ghost of Yotei? In our guide, we've described a potential issue with the last bounty, which stays on the world map screen. We explain its unique premise and the additional difficulties associated with exploring Ezo.

Can you complete 100% of the bounty hunter contracts?

1. As a reminder, bounty hunter contracts are optional activities in which Atsu must track down and eliminate various dangerous enemies. New contracts are collected from notice boards in inns and villages, and the entire process is managed by the Bounty Broker Kojiro.
2. By completing this additional content, you can unlock the Master Bounty Hunter gold trophy, but the final contract will remain in the heroine's journal, with no clear option to complete it.

Why does the last bounty remains active?

1. The final contract is visible on the world map screen, and an example is shown in the attached image.
2. Fortunately, the solution to this "problem" is very simple – the last bounty is one issued by Saito, and Atsu is the target. There is a bounty for capturing or killing the heroine. Therefore, it should be treated more as information about your progress in the campaign and a warning that other characters are actively hunting Atsu. This contract remains active even after completing the game in 100% and dealing with Saito.

1. The contract to capture Atsu "updates" at important moments in the story, usually after killing one of the members of the Yotei Six.
2. This isn't just a cosmetic change, as the new version of Atsu's contract means a more intensive search for the heroine. After reaching a certain point in the story, enemies can set rope traps, and these can be very treacherous, as they are often hidden in flower-covered fields. Try to quickly avoid a trap and escape the enemies. If you encounter one, Atsu will fall from her horse, which may require defeating several (regular) enemies.

1. The patrols of Saito's elite mounted units are even more problematic. These enemies are significantly stronger, and direct combat with them can be very challenging. Try to focus on a single enemy and avoid colored attacks and shouts indicating ranged attacks.
2. Soldiers that are part of the same patrol call out to each other, allowing you to learn about their presence even when they are far away. If you don't want to fight, keep away from these enemies. Unfortunately, in some situations, combat is mandatory, as the patrol might be guarding a location with a puzzle - you won't be able to solve it until it's safe.
