How to Unlock Eagle Vision in Ghost of Yotei
Eagle Vision, or Hunter’s Ear, is unlocked during the Tale of the Kitsune main quest in Teshio Ridge. Oyuki, the Kitsune, teaches Atsu how to use this technique to sense enemies hidden in snow and silence. Once the cutscene ends, the skill becomes available permanently.
How to Use Hunter’s Ear
Press and hold R3 to activate Hunter’s Ear/Eagle Vision. When it’s active, enemies near you appear as glowing silhouettes even through walls. Use it to plan your routes, set up assassinations, or avoid patrols without breaking stealth.
The ability recharges quickly, so don’t hesitate to use it before entering combat zones or when sneaking through camps. It’s most effective when paired with ranged weapons or silent takedowns.
All Hunter’s Ear Techniques
There are two upgrade techniques that improve Hunter’s Ear under the Revenge > Survival tree:

Hostile Intuition – Highlights aggressive enemies in red while active.
Both are unlocked by visiting Altars of Reflection, which appear throughout the regions.

Chain Assassination
Allows quick double kills on grouped enemies. This prevents alarms and keeps your stealth chain going.
