 will notice a lot of farmers working on an estate.
Jin: So peaceful here... What is this place?
Peasant: A visitor! Lord Jinroku will be pleased another warrior is here.
Enter the house and you will be welcomed by the people inside.
Peasant: I thought you were Lord Jinroku, but you're anothe samurai. Welcome, my lord.
Jin: Another samurai?
Peasant: You haven't heard of Lord Jinroku? He's a legendary samurai.
Jin: I'd like to meet him. When will he return?
Peasant: Soon! Join us for dinner. Perhaps he'll share one of his grand stories with you!
Speak with Jinroku
You don't have to wait for long as Jinroku will appear soon, as if on cue.
Samurai: I'm back from my dangerous mission! Don't worry, I am unharmed!
Samurai: Oh... I wasn't expecting a visitor. We're happy to have you, of course!
Jin: Hmm. Thank you. I didn't realize any other samurai had survived.
Samurai: It was a fierce battle, wasn't it? The beaches of Komatsu ran red with blood that... terrible day.
Jin: We fought at Komoda.
Samurai: Of course. Forgive me, I'm tired from a long ride. Please, have Nabe show you the bath. We can speak more over dinner.
Peasant: Please follow me, my lord.
Follow Nabe to the bath
While following Nabe to the bath, she will give you more information about Jinroku.
Jin: How much do you know of Lord Jinroku?
Peasant: He tells us everything. If it wasn't for him, we would have lost the whole island!
Jin: When you met him, was he armed?
Peasant: He gave everything to save Tsushima except his horse. It's at the stables.
Jin: My bath can wait. I want to look at his horse.
Investigate the stables
The stables are near the bath, just a few steps. There are three items that Jin will investigate, all shown below.
Jin: Normal tools. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Jin: A farm horse. Never seen battle.
Jin: I know this saddle. It belonged to Lord Higuchi. Jinroku is no samurai. I'll get the truth from him...
Confront the imposter
If you go back to the house, Jinroku is no longer there.
Jin: Where is Jinroku?
Peasant: He left quickly after you went to the bath. It must have been important.
Jin: I'll find him.
Track Jinroku
This part might frustrate some players as there is not much clue where Jinroku is. If you use the Guiding Wind, it will not show you the direction to him.
There are also no scripted investigation tracks. You really have to find him visually.
Follow these tips to find him. After getting out of the house, look at your right side and you will get this scene below.
Jinroku is actually visible in this photo. He is behind a rock, watching you.
So that is the direction you have to move towards. Be ready to run and dash, as he will sprint the moment he notices you are approaching him.
Stop the imposter
He will just stand there until you get close. And then he will run really fast.
Just run after him. He will even bring you to a secret Hot Spring location.
Jin: We need to talk. Stop running, you fool!
Carved Mountain Hot Spring
He will run through the Carved Mountain Hot Spring and you will get the chance to discover it. It will become a permanent fast-travel spot for you.
Jin: Stop! Before it's too late...
Jin: I don't want to kill you, stop!
Defeat Jinroku
Finally, Jinroku will stop, and this time, he will challenge you into a duel.
Samurai: I challenge you to a duel!
Jin: You want to fight me?
Samurai: Yes. It's the only way!
Jin: If that's your wish, I accept.
Duel at the Kashine Onsen
What follows next could be the most difficult boss fight in the whole game. It is too complicated that we created a separate boss guide just for Lord Jinroku.
If you have played Sekiro, this battle will remind you of the fight with Owl for his cunning. Jinroku's fight style is truly the other side of honor.
Some players say Lord Jinroku is equal to a young Isshin Ashina at his prime, the Sword Saint himself.
Return to the farm
It might take you multiple days as the game suddenly goes Dark Souls mode. But if you don't hesitate, you will prevail.
Speak with the woman
After multiple deaths and knowing that hesitation is defeat, you can return to the house and talk to the woman.
She will reveal that she is aware that Jinroku is not truly a samurai, for he is the other side of honor.
Peasant: Lord Sakai. Welcome back.
Jin: Jinroku wasn't the man you thought. He wasn't a samurai at all.
Peasant: Ah. He told you the truth.
Jin: You knew he was lying?
Peasant: He seemed harmless, and we enjoyed having him around. I hope you didn't kill him.
Jin: He's alive, but he won't be coming back.
Peasant: I'll tell the others he left on an important mission. We were fine without him. We will be again.
And with that, you have completed The Other Side of Honor side quest.

For CEO Mark Ghermezian, that’s a significant shift.
Marketing automation systems such as Marketo and Hubspot incorporate analytics, email, landing pages, and other features to understand, engage, and build a closer relationship with prospects and customers. Mobile marketing automation systems use app analytics, segmentation, mobile messaging, and in-app incentives to engage and monetize mobile app and mobile game users.
Companies like Localytics, Urban Airship, Tapjoy, Swrve, LeanPlum, DeltaDNA, and of course Appboy are leading the industry.
Appboy says it’s more than doubled its business since the beginning of the year, helping brands like USA Today, Shutterfly, and Urban Outfitters improve their mobile apps. Ghermezian told me that he’ll use the new funds to accelerate growth via increased spending on sales and marketing, plus more infrastructure to meet expanding demand.
“Mobile has exploded in the last two years, and we don’t see this slowing at all in the foreseeable future,” he added.
The $15 million cash injection was led by InterWest Partners, which was the first VC firm to invest in Marketo. Interwest General Partner Doug Pepper will be joining the startup’s board of directors, and he says there are significant similarities between Marketo years ago and Appboy today.
I asked Ghermezian about competitors, as this is an exploding space with the already-mentioned companies, plus others such as Upsight (Kontagent), Kahuna, PushSpring, Nudge, Playfab, and Playnomics.
He didn’t seem worried, saying that the market was in its extreme early stages, with just single-digit penetration.
While there may only be single-digit penetration here in North America, there’s a lot more in Asia, where game apps in particular are locked in vicious competition with each other, according to a Nudge executive I chatted with recently.
That means we’re likely to follow a similar trajectory — and that app publishers who want to win will need to gun up for this fight.
