Ghost of Yotei Boss Order Guide & List
Ghost of Yotei’s journey unfolds through a set order of main story bosses, followed by several optional bounty targets scattered across Ezo. Knowing the correct boss order helps track story progression and plan upgrades before tougher encounters later in the game.
The full boss order begins with The Snake and ends with Lord Saito, with optional bounty bosses available between major chapters. Below is the complete list of every boss in Ghost of Yotei in proper order, separated by main and optional fights.
