The Reliquary of Faith is the final and most symbolic of the five Mountain Reliquary puzzles in Ghost of Yotei. Found on the rugged cliffs of the Oshima Coast, it represents Atsu’s final step in proving her devotion to Mount Yotei’s spirit — both through insight and perseverance. Below is a complete walkthrough covering how to find it, solve it, and what rewards you’ll earn upon completion.
Where to Find the Reliquary of Faith
The Reliquary of Faith is located on the eastern ridge of Oshima Coast, an area you can only access after completing “The Oni” and “The Kitsune” story arcs. Once you’ve reached this region, start from the main entrance and turn left up the narrow mountain path. The route ascends through a misty pass overlooking the sea, and a golden guiding bird may even lead you to the shrine itself.
At the summit, you’ll find a small clearing overlooking Mount Yotei in the distance. Here stands the Reliquary altar surrounded by four fox statues, though only three can be interacted with — the fourth rests on a distant cliff and moves in sync when the puzzle is solved correctly.
Riddle and Meaning
Interacting with the altar presents this poetic inscription:
“The boy-made-man crafted blessings of his own,
So others born under Mount Yotei
Will look to the true mountain for strength.”
This verse reinforces the recurring theme of the Reliquaries — reverence toward Mount Yotei as a source of faith and power. The “boy-made-man” is Atsu’s metaphorical reflection, showing her transformation from student to guardian, now able to bless others through her deeds.
How to Solve the Reliquary of Faith Puzzle
This puzzle works much like the others, but with an added twist: the statues are interlinked, so rotating one will shift others nearby. To complete the riddle, your goal is to have all four fox statues face Mount Yotei — the true mountain visible to the northeast.
Here’s the precise order to rotate them:
- Turn the Middle Statue Once.
- This will slightly adjust both side statues, aligning their gaze partially toward the mountain.
- Turn the Right Statue Once.
- This will shift the middle statue again but helps synchronize the far cliff statue.
- Return to the Middle Statue and Turn It Twice.
- This final adjustment will align every fox — including the distant one — perfectly toward Mount Yotei.
After completing these rotations, the shrine will emit a soft glow, signaling that the reliquary has been purified.
Quick Tip: Make a manual save before interacting with the statues. Since each turn affects others, it’s easy to misalign them accidentally, forcing a full reset.
Reliquary of Faith Rewards
The reward for solving the Reliquary of Faith depends on how many you’ve completed beforehand:
| Completion Order | Reward |
|---|---|
| 1st Reliquary | Charm of Mount Yotei |
| 2nd Reliquary | Yotei’s Shelter Hat + Charm upgrade |
| 3rd Reliquary | Yotei’s Charge Weapon Kit + Charm upgrade |
| 4th Reliquary | Yotei’s Mercy Mask + Charm upgrade |
| Final Reliquary (Faith) | Yotei’s Blessing Outfit Dye + Final Charm of Mount Yotei Upgrade |
If this is your final Reliquary, you’ll also unlock the “Child of the Mountain” Bronze Trophy.
At full power, the Charm of Mount Yotei reduces all incoming damage by a moderate amount and restores a large portion of health after a Perfect Parry — an invaluable upgrade for late-game duels.
Lore Connection
The Reliquary of Faith closes the circle of the five virtues — Courage, Strength, Resilience, Compassion, and Faith. Each shrine deepens Atsu’s bond with Mount Yotei, symbolizing her journey from self-doubt to mastery. Solving this final puzzle not only grants the best charm upgrade but also narratively marks the moment Atsu becomes the mountain’s chosen protector.
