All Steps in Scene of the Crime

Total: 5 steps – one photo of the ringleader inside the main building


Scene of the Crime is one of the photographer jobs in Yokohama. Accept it from the Photographer at his Photographic Studio in Honcho. The Photographic Studio Veiled Edge Banner is right at his shop.

Head to Tobe, west of Yokohama. With the mission active, a round yellow mission area shows up in southeastern Tobe. Once you get close, the map highlights two camera areas.

The Murderous Thieves Clue

Open your mission menu to read the job from the Kanagawa Commissioner’s Office:

Murderous thieves are stalking the Tobe village area at night. Their identity remains unknown, save for the detail that they are skilled swordsmen. Due compensation will be awarded to those who can provide photographic evidence that will identify the ringleader, dead or alive.
– Kanagawa Commissioner’s Office

The thieves only show up at night, so use your pocketwatch or rest to skip ahead before you go in. Scene of the Crime is a Mission Level 8 job.

Both targets are inside the main building. Use the grapple point shown below to get onto its roof. As an alternative, you can climb the nearby watchtower and glide onto the roof from there.

From the roof, crawl inside through the window. Line up the shot on the ringleader and his swordsman until the circle in the centre turns red, then take the photo. One photo is all you need.

If You Get Detected

The job asks for the ringleader dead or alive, so there’s no need to hold back. If you’re spotted, everyone on the property attacks. Fight them off and take the photo afterwards.

Once you have the photo, return to the Photographic Studio in Honcho to hand it in and collect your reward.

The Photographer has three more Scene of Interest jobs in Yokohama: Camera Obscura, A Chilling Site and Canine Catcher.
