The Ghost General, leader of the ravenous Hungry Ghosts, can be found in the Money Changer District in the western part of Sakai city, located in the southwestern Izumi Settsu region. Given the number of ronin with him, it’s advisable to thin their ranks before confronting him directly, or leverage Yasuke’s abilities to level the playing field.
Grave Dancer

Utilize the NPCs to distract them and strike when the opportunity arises.
