Cape Inari Hideout

To find the Cape Inari Hideout, first go to the Cape Inari Shrine in the far north of Teshio Ridge. To open the shrine, you’ll need to light two lanterns.

First, grab the torch. Squeeze through the gap next to the shrine to find a cave and light the lantern inside. Then, walk uphill past the shrine to find a second cave with another lantern. Light this one, too, and the shrine will open.

Enter and climb up to the top, where you will find more lanterns. The ones with the pillar symbol mean death. Light the one inside the first house, and the one by the cliff. Now you can enter and liberate the hideout to access the Altar of Reflection in the easternmost section of the hideout.

Crossroads Trading Post

Liberate the Crossroads Trading Post in the south of the Teshiro Ridge region.

Deserted Village

Liberate the Deserted Village at Teshio Ridge to get access to the Altar of Reflection.

Hunting Camp Hideout

The Hunting Camp Hideout is hidden behind the Sarufutsu Lighthouse in the east of Teshio Ridge. It’s not counted as an occupied region, since it is empty, but I’ll list it here for completeness.

To open the lighthouse door, you first have to turn the statues towards the center fox statue to unlock it. Then put both center fox statues on the sockets, so they face the door.

The Nine Tails here are all dead, though. Investigate the bodies and liberate the fox in the cage. It will lead you to the nearby cave. Climb it and exit to reach Sanctuary Grove. Look for buildings in the distance and cross over.

Follow the bear cub at the other side to find the mother and a settler to talk to. In the house, look for a deer and follow it to the building that holds the Altar of Reflection. Just interact with the nine tail statue to drop a ladder.

Nakajima Ice Cave Hideout

Head to the Nakajima Ice Cave in the northwest of Teshio Ridge. Move the left fox by the entrance to the left and the right one to the right so they look away from each other.

Enter the cave and grapple up to the beam in the center. From here, you can jump over to the platform and climb up to the top. Turn the Fox statue at the top so it faces the lantern on the other side. You can now cross over using the ropes. Interact with the fox statue at the other end to drop the ladder.

Grapple up to the overhead platform and continue to climb. You can finally exit the cave and defeat the Nine Tails. There is a blizzard going on, though. Return to the cave to warm up if you need to. Once the guards are defeated, look for and turn the foxes so they’re facing each other. Cross over using the rope and climb up to reach the Altar of Reflection.

Snow Drift Springs Hideout

The Snow Drift Springs are in the southwest of Teshio Ridge, south of the Black Bowl Hot Springs. Here you will find Kitsune’s puzzle statues in an area called Snow Drift Springs Shrine. There is a locked door with the Kitsune’s symbol on it and three groups of lamps with a statue nearby. Light the lamp that looks like the nearby statue.

Pick up the torch near the locked door and light the lamps as follows, with the door behind you:
-> Left: Fox looking up.
-> Right: Sitting Fox
-> Center: Crouching Fox

The door will open a gap, and you can crouch into the cave.

In the first room, you will find a fox statue. Interact with it to open its tail. Exit the cave to the left, into hostile territory – The Snow Drift Springs Hideout. The Altar is on top of a building. Clear the hideout, then light the nearby fox lamps for a path to the Altar:
-> Sitting Fox and Crouching Fox.

Lord Saito Missive: “Saito on Betrayal”, leaning on one of the loot boxes.

Snow’s Blight Hideout

This hideout is in the west, at the Teshio Coast of Teshio Ridge. Look for the Snow’s Blight Shrine to start. The Bounty: Nameless Killer is here.

There are two different puzzles that need to be solved at the Snow’s Blight Shrine. First, light the lanterns where the braziers behind them are lit to get the first fox statue for the socket. On the other wall, turn the foxes so they are positioned like their counterpart at the back wall. Pick up both fox statues and place them on the socket by the gate.

The shrine passage will open, and you can crawl into the cave. Follow the path to the next couple of turnable foxes. Turn them so they look at each other to expand a rope that takes you across the abyss. Turn the next fox to the left to get some more ropes to cross. This path will take you to the hideout. Liberate it to get access to the Altar.

It is through the door at the back of the main building. Defeat the Bounty: Nameless Killer to find the Altar of Reflection nearby.
