Yotei Grasslands Hot Spring Locations
There are four starting hot springs within the Grasslands area, typically some basic climbing or parkouring to reach.
A. Grasslands East (Inn Proximity)
This will most likely be the first hot spring you notice as it is near the starting inn.
Location: Northeast of the starting Inn in the Yotei Grasslands.
Path: Look for a large climbing area on a nearby cliff face. Climb up, and the hot spring can be easily spotted at the top.
Grasslands North (Cliff Edge)
This hot spring is located close to the zone edge with the area to the north of Ōryō.
Location: In the northwestern section of the same zone, concealed on top of a high cliff.
Path: Locate the designated climbing point, climb the rocks of the cliff, and the hot spring will be readily accessible on this high ground.
Red Flower Hill
Location: Head south from the previous location, look for an area densely covered with red flowers.
Path: The hot spring is found on a tiny elevated mound right next to these red flower areas.
Cliff Opening
The final Grasslands spring lies in a drop-off area.
Location: In the southern end of the Grasslands, look for an opening in the cliff face towards the middle of this area's range.
Path: Jump down through the small opening in the cliff, and the hot spring will be found just below after a short drop.
The Tokachi Range Hot Spring Location in Ghost of Yotei
There are two hot springs in the Tokachi Range, both typically located in open or slightly elevated positions.
Tokachi Northwest Rock: Travel to the north-middle of the Tokachi Range. The hot spring is in sight just ahead of you, ringed by small rocks and peculiar amber-hued yellow trees. It is mostly in the open.
Tokachi Central North: Further north of the area, near the middle of the zone. Somewhat higher up in spring but doesn't require complex parkour. Simply go to the map point and access it without difficulty.
Ishikari Plain Hot Spring Locations
There are four all Hot Spring Location in Ghost of Yotei that utilize more advanced grappling and climbing.
A. Plateau Chasm Spring
This is usually difficult due to its required course through a canyon.
Location: Southern-central part of the Ishikari Plain.
Path: You need to make a run across the chasm below, skirt to the right, and ascend onto a raised, high platform. Here, you will need to cut between two boulders and execute a very extensive parkour sequence, utilizing grappling hooks and jumping on branches to reach the hot spring above. This one is worth the hassle as a nearby Altar is often accompanied by it.
Misty Forest Deep
This spring is surrounded by dense fog and overgrowth.
Location: Northeast of the previous location, deep in a fog-covered forest.
Path: Follow the dirt path into the forest. Look carefully for Spiders attached to Lanterns; these are visual cues to guide you between the trees and fog directly to where the hot spring exists.
Northern Cliffs High Point
Demands consistent upward movement and multiple climbs.
Location: North of the Misty Forest location on the map.
Path: Find where the climbing spot is indicated by a mark on the rock/cliffside. It's a climb, a short leap over a gap, and then a final climb to access the upper spring.
Northwest Grapple Ascent
The final Ishikari spring requires careful grappling.
Location: More north-west on the map, find high up on the rocks.
Path: Look for the climb location near the starting point. A simple climb but with a series of adjacent grappling points, which requires rapid rock-to-rock jumps to the last top platform.
Yōrō Wilds, Teshio Ridge, and Ōshima Coast Locations
Yōrō Wilds (Complex Cave Path)
Location: Western area of the Yōrō Wilds area (a solitary one here).
Path: Must go down a long sequence of riding flowers, through a grapple point, and up high. You will enter a network of caves. Do not take the path on the left (which leads to an Altar) and take the right, climbing as high as you can. The hot spring is just outside the top entrance to a cave.
B. Teshio Ridge (Cold Area Springs)
The cold north section has three springs that are accessible:
Western Climb: Situated on the west face of the Teshio Ridge. It's a simple grab to reach with just a slight climb, but ensure all close enemies are defeated first since you cannot use a hot spring with enemies nearby.
Teshio Inn Paid Spring: Near the main Inn of the area. Cross over the main bridge, turn left, and head to the building on the far left. Speak with the one who is within and pay a small amount of coin to use this convenient spring.
Northern Cliff Climb: In the northernmost area of the region. Find a visible path to climb near the cliff edge in order to reach this higher spring, which takes light parkour and jumping.
Ōshima Coast
The last region contains the remaining two springs:
Squeeze and Slide: Located on the northern part of the Ōshima Coast. You must squeeze into a rock gap, climb up for a short time, and then use the spring.
Broken Bridge Entrance: Located southeast of the Ōshima Coast. The spring seems promisingly near, but you must go around on a winding path along a rock platform to reach a broken bridge. Descend, crawl across the gap to the remaining half, and ascend to reach the final hot spring.
