[Very Hard]

Here's a breakdown of all Memory Quests for this story mission, with some tips for those who might want to do the same. Note that you don't have to complete all three side objectives in one go. --The Yiga Clan's Retreat-- *Defeat every Blight Ganon.* This side objective is pretty self-explanatory. Near the end of the mission, past the Silver Lynel, you'll reach a fork in the road: on the left is the story destination, and straight ahead are four keeps with two of the Blights patrolling them. Simply make sure to defeat them before proceeding with the story. Once you reach the end area, you'll be tasked with defeating the remaining two Blight Ganons, thus completing this Memory Quest. *Successfully use a Sheikah Rune to counter a Blight Ganon.* If this is your first time through the level, half of the challenge here is to find the Sheikah Slate, as you'll start with none. Following the defeat of the Malice Moblin near shore, you'll be locked in the piers area. Facing opposite to the door, head east until you see a blue luminous orb lying at the end of one of the paths. Interact with it to claim the Sheikah Slate and add it back to your arsenal. You'll then need to wait until the end of the mission to battle against the Blights. Sneak in one successful rune counter during that fight to complete this side objective. *??? (Don't let any ally flee.)* First off, I would highly recommend doing this one on a second run through, as you'll get to access to the Sheikah Slate from the very beginning of the level, making survivability for you and your allies that much easier. From there, it's only a matter of defeating all the targetable foes as quickly as possible, making sure your three assigned grunts follow you the whole way through. At one point, a Yiga Blademaster will lock himself behind a door to stop the monsters' advance, and a little later three Hollows will swarm your location, one of them coming from the back where your selfless ally is. In order to save that Yiga from imminent defeat, you'll need to immediately run back to the locked door, which should now open, and defeat the Hollow there. It's important to do this step before dealing with any of the front Hollows, as doing so first will cause the back ally to automatically flee. Near the end of the mission, you'll also get the choice to raid a few more keeps for extra loot; if you decide to do so, make sure to defeat all major enemies around the main goal beforehand: the last Moblin on the road is set to spawn only a few feet away from destination. If all went well up to that point, you'll get a special event upon reaching the story objective; splitting the squad on each of the two Blights then will ensure they can't join together, which should ease things up for the final stretch. If at any point during the mission you get the notification that one of your allies have fled, then you failed the Memory Quest and will need to restart.
