Overview

Fort Sakai is a major story location on Iki Island in Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut. It is the former stronghold of the Sakai clan during Lord Kazumasa Sakai’s campaign on Iki, and later becomes the main base of the Eagle Tribe. For Jin, the fort is both a military objective and a deeply personal place: it is where his father once operated, where Jin’s childhood memories of Iki are rooted, and where the expansion’s conflict between the Sakai legacy and the island’s raiders comes to a head.

The fort is not part of the original Tsushima campaign. It appears only in the Iki Island expansion, included in the Director’s Cut and later versions of the game. It should also be distinguished from nearby locations such as Mount Takenotsuji, Tatsu’s Ladder, Zasho River, and the various unnamed cliffs and roads around the fort. Those places form the surrounding landscape, but they are not subareas of Fort Sakai itself.

Fort Sakai changes substantially during the expansion. It begins as an occupied Mongol stronghold, becomes the site of Jin’s capture and forced poisoning, and later functions as a liberated fast-travel location with civilian services. Its story role, enemy population, available interiors and access routes therefore depend on progression.
