Quest stages of The Guardian of Tsushima
1. Meet Norio in Sago / Speak with the Monk
Start by getting rid of all Mongols and then talk to the monk. He will tell you that he knows where Norio is and he will offer to take you to him.
The warrior monk Norio has gathered a group to wrest Cedar Temple from Mongol hands. I'm proud of his transformation into a determined leader. I'll help him restore Cedar Temple to its rightful caretakers.
2. Follow the monk to Norio / Go inside the farmhouse / Speak with Norio
Follow the monk to the farm near the river.
When you get there, enter the building and you will find Norio there.
3. Go with Norio
Follow Norio to the river. There he will present to you his plan to reclaim the Cedar Temple from the hands of the Mongols.
4. Go with Norio / Speak with Norio
Go with Norio and other monks to Cedar Temple. When you reach the temple, you will meet another group of monks waiting for you there. After a short conversation with them and establishing a plan of attack you will move towards the temple to attack the Mongols who are there.
5. Defeat the Mongols / Speak with Norio
You must find and kill all Mongols in the temple grounds. The area of the temple is quite large, and there will be quite a lot of enemies there, luckily, there are also quite a few monks who will attack them.
Watch out for the hwacha standing on the hill. Circles indicating where the shooting will take place are barely visible on the snow (at least during the day). You can take it over and use it for your own purposes.
When you get rid of all the Mongols, talk to Norio. He will ask you to go with him to the main temple building to see if it was heavily devastated.
6. Go with Norio / Speak with the monk
Follow Norio to the main temple building. You will meet a monk at the entrance to the temple. When you talk to him, he will try to discourage you from going inside.
7. Go inside the main temple
When you go inside, you will find out why the monk tried to discourage you from entering the temple. You will meet Norio's older brother there, who is still alive but has been terribly crippled by the Mongols. Enjo will tell you what really happened, and that the only thing that kept him alive was that he wanted to see his little brother for the last time. Enjo will want Norio to reduce his suffering and then Norio will ask you to leave them alone.
When Norio joins you outside the temple, he will tell you his brother's tormentor's name and ask for help in dealing with him. This will end this tale.
After completing The Guardian of Tsushima you will get or will be able to get This Threefold World.
