Search the stables
Next, head towards the stables and examine the clues around the area.
The main clue is the horse tracks.

Follow her
Grab your horse and follow Lady Masako to the burial area.
Honor the dead
Follow Lady Masako to where she buried her family. Press R2 to honor the dead.
After paying respects, continue following Masako. You’ll then be given conversation options of ‘revenge must wait’ or ‘they deserve death’.
We chose “they deserve death” but it may not affect the outcome.
