- All bounties in Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition total 31 bounty targets tracked on the bounty board.
- One bounty is hidden: Iron Chuta only appears after completing a side quest in Morowa Grotto.
- 30/31 is the most common block for players chasing the platinum trophy and Master Bounty Hunter rank.
- Check the Tsukachi Range first if your bounty board shows one target missing.
- Quest "A Desperate Remedy" unlocks the final bounty — it does not self-start from the board.
How the Bounty System Works in Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition
The bounty board is one of the core open-world activities in Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition. Across the map, posted bounties task Atsu with hunting down named targets — ronin, bandits, and killers whose defeats reward mon, gear, and progress toward the Master Bounty Hunter rank.
Most bounties follow the same loop: pick the poster, track the target's region, thin out their guards, and defeat the mark in a duel. However, the system hides a catch that trips up nearly every completionist.
Standard Bounties
- Posted on bounty boards in towns
- Target location marked by region
- Guards patrol around the mark
Elite Marks
- Named duel-style targets
- Talk trash before the fight
- Higher mon and gear rewards
Hidden Bounties
- Not listed initially
- Unlocked via side quests
- Iron Chuta is the key example
If your bounty progress is stuck at 30 out of 31 and no poster appears anywhere on the board, you have not missed a location — you have missed a side quest. The 31st bounty, Iron Chuta, is tied to a quest chain in the Tsukachi Range and never posts until that chain resolves.
Bounty Hunt Fundamentals: Preparation Checklist
Before grinding the board, set yourself up so each hunt takes minutes instead of hours. The table below summarizes what to bring and why.
| Preparation | Why It Matters | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Fast travel unlocked | Return trips to boards and grottos | ★★★★★ |
| Ranged weapon stocked | Thin guards before the duel | ★★★★ |
| Healing items | Elite marks hit hard in phase two | ★★★★ |
| Bounty board revisits | New posters appear as story progresses | ★★★★★ |
| Region map revealed | Find remote marks like the grotto fast | ★★★ |
Bounties unlock progressively alongside the main story. If a region's board looks empty, advance the storyline and return — several marks only post after key story beats.
Before You Hunt:
- Unlock fast travel points across all regions
- Stock healing items and ranged ammo
- Check every town's bounty board after story beats
- Track your bounty count against the 31 total
- Save before elite duels to retry cleanly
The Hidden 31st Bounty: Iron Chuta Step-by-Step
This is the section most players need. Iron Chuta is the 31st bounty in Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition, and he is deliberately obscured — he does not appear on any bounty board until you complete a rescue quest.
Travel to the Tsukachi Range
Head to the Tsukachi Range region and locate Morowa Grotto. Enter through the narrow opening and descend — you will find two samurai-style figures below.
Accept 'A Desperate Remedy'
The wounded samurai gives you the quest A Desperate Remedy. Your task: travel to the nearby town, retrieve medicine, and return before it is too late.
Fetch the Medicine
Find the medicine vendor in town. Expect interference — a rival hunter searching for the same samurai will confront you. Deal with him, secure the medicine, and ride back to the grotto entrance.
Duel Chuta at the Grotto
Back at the samurai's side, Chuta ambushes you. Defeat him in the brief battle. He is the bounty target — his crime just is not posted yet.
Claim the Poster and Finish the Hunt
Once the quest ends, fast travel back to the bounty board. Iron Chuta's bounty now appears. Accept it, return to the grotto, defeat the wild dogs and the thug near the entrance, then head north of the river where a waiting figure summons Chuta for the final duel. Win, and you reach 31 of 31.
Clearing 31 of 31 bounties awards the Master Bounty Hunter distinction — and for trophy hunters, this is almost always the final platinum blocker. Once Iron Chuta falls, take your proof back to the board and the reward is yours.
Common Bounty Problems and Fixes
| Problem | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Stuck at 30/31 | Iron Chuta not unlocked | Complete "A Desperate Remedy" in Morowa Grotto |
| Board shows no posters | Story-gated unlocks | Advance main story, revisit boards |
| Target not at marker | Nearby guards aggro first | Clear the camp perimeter before engaging |
| Chuta duel too hard | Trash-talk marks are elite tier | Parry his lunges, punish after combos |
| Quest NPC missing | Area not fully explored | Enter the grotto's lower chamber via the narrow passage |
The grotto entrance is a small, easy-to-miss passage. If you have already discovered the area, fast travel to the nearest point and round the corner — the samurai are just below the entry drop.
Bounty Rewards and Completion Tracker
Bounties pay out in currency, reputation, and completion milestones. Here is how the final stretch of the board typically rewards dedicated hunters.
| Milestone | Requirement | Reward Type |
|---|---|---|
| 31/31 bounties | All targets defeated | Master Bounty Hunter rank |
| Platinum trophy | All trophies including bounties | Trophy unlock |
| Elite marks | Named duels won | Mon and gear |
| Hidden bounty | Iron Chuta defeated | Final board entry |
31/31 Completion Goals:
- Clear all standard board bounties across every region
- Complete 'A Desperate Remedy' in Morowa Grotto
- Defeat Chuta in the grotto ambush
- Accept and clear Iron Chuta's posted bounty
- Claim Master Bounty Hunter north of the river
Iron Chuta talks a lot of trash — do not let it rush you. Let him commit to his draw attack, dodge, and counter. The fight rewards patience over aggression.
FAQ
Q: Why am I stuck at 30 out of 31 bounties in Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition?
The 31st bounty, Iron Chuta, is hidden. He only posts to the bounty board after you complete the side quest 'A Desperate Remedy' for a wounded samurai inside Morowa Grotto in the Tsukachi Range. Until that quest resolves, no poster for him exists anywhere.
Q: Where is Morowa Grotto located?
Morowa Grotto is in the Tsukachi Range region. The entrance is a narrow, easy-to-miss passage. Descend inside and you will find the samurai who gives 'A Desperate Remedy' waiting below.
Q: Do I need all bounties for the platinum trophy?
For most players, the bounty completion milestone is the final platinum blocker. Clearing all 31 bounties, including the hidden Iron Chuta bounty, awards the Master Bounty Hunter rank that the trophy list requires.
Q: What do I do after accepting Iron Chuta's bounty?
Return to Morowa Grotto, deal with the man and the wild dogs near the entrance, then follow his directions north of the river. A figure there summons Chuta for the final duel. Defeat him to finish 31 of 31.
