About this guide

Scope: Base game, including the Director’s Cut version of the main Tsushima map. The nearby Tsutsu Haiku and Lake Kunehama are discussed as connections, but are not treated as parts of the village itself. Spoiler warning: This guide covers Mongol occupation, liberation rewards and the Gosaku-related key. It does not spoil the ending of the main story.

Overview

Ohama Fishing Village is a small coastal settlement in Tsutsu Prefecture, Izuhara, on the western side of the southern island. It stands just west of Lake Kunehama, near the coast and north of the Kishi Grasslands. In the base game it functions primarily as a Mongol Territory, rather than as a permanent hub with a full merchant economy or a large resident cast.

The village is important for two reasons. First, liberating it is one of Izuhara’s early post-Act 1 hostage-rescue activities. Secondly, it is one of the six farmsteads and settlements connected to The Unbreakable Gosaku, providing the Key of Ohama.

Developed overview

Ohama is best understood as a small occupied settlement and liberation arena, not as one of Izuhara’s larger civilian hubs. Its identity comes from the physical setting: a coastal village of wooden buildings, shoreline access and fishing-related scenery, positioned between the western coast and Lake Kunehama.

Before the invasion, Ohama appears to have been a working fishing community. After the Battle of Komoda Beach and the subsequent Mongol retaliation, the settlement becomes a Mongol-held territory. Jin’s task is not to complete a long story sequence there, but to enter the occupied village, locate its captives and clear the garrison.

The settlement’s most lasting narrative importance comes from Gosaku’s armour. The farming families of Tsushima each retain one key, and Ohama’s key is one of the six required to open the armour’s sealed location later in the Mythic Tale. The six associated places are Aoi Village, Iijima Farmstead, Kuta Farmstead, Koshimizu Farmstead, Ohama Fishing Village and Yagata Farmstead.

Location within Izuhara

Ohama Fishing Village lies in the Tsutsu area of Izuhara, on the western side of the southern island. It is described as being west of Lake Kunehama and north of the Kishi Grasslands.

The settlement should not be expanded into a broad “Ohama region”. The following places are neighbouring or connected locations, but should be kept separate:

The Tsutsu Haiku is commonly described as being north of Ohama Fishing Village and rewards the Headband of Death. It is a nearby activity, not part of the village’s own activity boundary.

Landscape

The village occupies a low coastal site. Its position makes it easy to approach from several directions, although a southern approach can give Jin a useful elevated view over the settlement. The surrounding land is more open than the village itself, while the buildings, fences and shoreline structures provide cover once the fight begins.

There is no verified evidence that Ohama contains a distinct named district system, such as an upper village, dock quarter or market quarter. References to the docks and fishing structures describe scenery within the settlement rather than separately named subareas.

Ohama Fishing Village itself

Directly associated nearby locations

These are important for navigation, but are not included as internal subareas of the village.

Distinct Gosaku-related locations

These are connected by the Mythic Tale, but are separate settlements.

No additional named streets, inns, shops, houses, piers or internal neighbourhoods are independently verified in the available sources. Decorative fishing buildings and shoreline structures are therefore treated as unnamed scenery rather than given invented names.

Distinct Gosaku-related locations

When the territory becomes available

Ohama’s Mongol Territory activity is not normally available from the opening sequence. It becomes available after the game reaches the stage where the Mongols retaliate and occupy southern settlements, following the relevant progression through Act 1. Guide sources describe the territory as unlocking after the Act 1 retaliation sequence, and map listings commonly associate the wider Mongol Territory set with progress after A New Horizon.

The exact moment at which the icon appears can vary according to how far the player has advanced through the opening act. If the village is present on the map but does not yet behave as a liberation target, continue the main story until the Mongol retaliation has occurred.

Recommended approaches

Southern approach

A southern approach is particularly useful because the nearby rise can provide a view over much of the settlement. This is the best route for players who want to identify patrols, hostage positions and explosive opportunities before entering the village.

Direct approach

A direct approach is faster, but gives less time to mark enemies or identify the hostage positions. It suits a player intending to begin with a stand-off or immediate melee engagement.

Stealth approach

Use the surrounding grass and buildings to move around the outer edge of the settlement. Keep the hostages in mind before committing to an assassination chain. A fight that spreads towards a captive can become more dangerous than the initial infiltration.

Objectives

The village is therefore a hostage-rescue territory rather than a destroy-the-supplies, burn-the-palisade or eliminate-a-leader activity.

Recommended liberation walkthrough

  1. 01
    Approach from the south if possible. Use the higher ground to study the settlement before entering. If you have already unlocked the Longbow, the southern approach is also a useful vantage point for long-range preparation, although the bonus objective is tied to Sticky Bomb damage rather than bow kills.

Recommended liberation walkthrough

  1. 01
    Identify the outer patrols and hostage areas. The village contains three hostages. Do not assume that clearing one section completes the activity. Keep checking the objective tracker after each rescue.

Recommended liberation walkthrough

  1. 01
    Work around the perimeter. Remove isolated guards and avoid allowing the entire settlement to converge on a hostage. The village’s buildings and fences can divide the enemy force, making it safer to clear one pocket at a time.

Recommended liberation walkthrough

  1. 01
    Use Sticky Bombs for the bonus objective. If you are attempting the bonus, use Sticky Bombs against grouped enemies or a protected cluster. The objective is to damage enemies, not necessarily to kill them. Confirm each increment on the activity tracker before spending the rest of your ghost weapons.

Recommended liberation walkthrough

  1. 01
    Rescue all three hostages. If the village enters an alarmed state, prioritise reaching a hostage before pursuing distant enemies. The hostage objective is the condition that ends the territory activity.

Recommended liberation walkthrough

  1. 01
    Collect the rewards and check the Gosaku quest. Liberation grants a Minor Legend Increase and 8 Steel. When the Gosaku progression is active, Ohama also supplies the Key of Ohama.

Combat advice

Ohama is a good location for mixing stealth and direct combat. The settlement is compact enough for a hostage rescue to turn into a close-quarters fight, but it also contains enough structures to break line of sight.

The available sources do not provide a verified enemy roster or named Mongol leader for Ohama. It should therefore not be described as having a unique boss, named commander or special duel.

Liberation rewards

The Minor Legend Increase and 8 Steel are listed as the standard rewards for the territory.

Liberation rewards

RewardHow it is obtained
Minor Legend IncreaseLiberate Ohama Fishing Village
8 SteelLiberate Ohama Fishing Village
Key of OhamaAssociated with The Unbreakable Gosaku

Key of Ohama

The Key of Ohama is one of six keys connected to Gosaku’s armour. It is not a random drop and should not be treated as an ordinary chest item. It is a progression item awarded through the settlement’s Gosaku connection.

If the key does not appear immediately, check the following:

The six keys are not all obtained at one location, so completing Ohama alone does not open Gosaku’s armour.

---

Key of Ohama: steps

  1. 01
    The Unbreakable Gosaku has been started or is available in the journal.
  2. 02
    The settlement was fully liberated rather than merely visited.
  3. 03
    All three hostages were rescued.
  4. 04
    The activity completion state has registered on the map.
  5. 05
    The key has not already been collected during an earlier liberation.

The Unbreakable Gosaku

Ohama Fishing Village is one of the six locations used by The Unbreakable Gosaku, a Mythic Tale connected with the search for Gosaku’s armour. The Tale requires keys from six occupied or threatened farming settlements before Jin can reach the armour’s final location.

Ohama’s role in the Tale is limited but important:

The armour itself is not located in Ohama.

Tsutsu Haiku

The Tsutsu Haiku is a separate activity north of the village. It is useful to combine with an Ohama visit because of the short travel distance, but it does not form part of the settlement’s liberation checklist. Completing it awards the Headband of Death.

The River Children

Some guide indexes associate The River Children with Ohama Fishing Village as an unlocking location. This should not be confused with a tale that takes place entirely inside the village. The available listing confirms an Ohama-related unlock association, but does not establish that the whole tale’s playable area is contained within the settlement.

For boundary purposes, the village should therefore be recorded as an associated starting or unlocking location, not as the complete geographical setting of the tale.

---

Residents

Ohama is presented as a fishing settlement, but no individually named permanent resident is reliably documented in the sources consulted for this guide. Ordinary villagers, captives and fishing-community scenery may appear depending on the settlement’s progression state, but they should not be promoted to named characters without direct evidence.

Visitors and story-associated characters

The available sources do not verify a permanent named merchant, musician, monk, quest giver or faction representative based in Ohama. The village can be connected to Tales and Mythic Tale progression without being the home of the character who gives or narrates those quests.

Shops and services

No functional shop or service is verified within Ohama Fishing Village. In particular, do not assume that the presence of fishing buildings means the location contains:

Those services are associated with other settlements and camps in the game. Ohama’s documented function is an occupied territory and Gosaku key location.

---

Mongol occupation

Ohama becomes a Mongol Territory after the invasion progresses. The garrison’s purpose is to hold the settlement and its captives. The game’s territory activity is built around eliminating the occupying force while keeping the hostage objective active.

Local villagers

The villagers are represented primarily through the hostages and the settlement’s fishing-community environment. The available sources do not establish a named village militia, clan guard or formal local law-enforcement group.

Security features

No unique alarm tower, commander’s tent, war-dog mechanic or named guard post is independently verified for this location. Avoid treating generic Mongol camp features from other territories as confirmed Ohama features.

---

Efficient nearby route

This route keeps the village, its nearby haiku and its Gosaku progression together without incorrectly merging the neighbouring landmarks into Ohama itself.

---

A practical route is

  1. 01
    Approach Ohama from the south.
  2. 02
    Scout and liberate the village.
  3. 03
    Check the map for the completed territory marker.
  4. 04
    Travel north to the Tsutsu Haiku.
  5. 05
    Return inland through the Kishi Grasslands or east towards Lake Kunehama.
  6. 06
    Continue to the next Gosaku key settlement.

After liberation

The broader visual and NPC changes after liberation can vary by game state and should not be overstated. The reliable progression change is the completion of the territory and the associated rewards.
