Ghost of Yotei: All Duelling Tree locations and duel order

When exploring the land of Ezo in Ghost of Yotei, you will eventually come across a series of Duelling Trees. There are six in total, and you might not understand their purpose at first. The name is a hint, of course, but the truth is a bit more complicated. There’s a series of five wandering ronin who consider themselves disciples of Takezo the Unrivaled, and you’ll find each at the Duelling Trees of Ezo. Defeat them all, and the true Takezo will reveal himself to you.

Below we’re listing all of the Duelling Tree locations in the game, and the order you should use to find and defeat each of the ronin. Once you’ve done with these Duelling Trees, make sure to use our best build for Takezo the Unrivaled, as he’s Ghost of Yotei’s toughest boss.
