These eight targets represent a significant threat to the region's peace, and it's up to you to bring them down and restore tranquility.

The Grave Dancer, leader of the Defilers, is located near the Sumiyoshi Shrine, south of Osaka. From Sakai, travel northeast along the main road until you reach this location.

After eliminating the other Kabukimono members, you'll face the final three: Corrupt Blade, Laughing Man, and Peacock. Head to Nishinomiya Shrine, west of Amagasaki Castle. At the shrine's entrance, you can choose to tackle them individually or confront them together. For efficiency, opt for the latter and travel to the Harima region.

From the shrine, go west to Kakogawa Estuary, then northeast following the roads to Takagi Otsuka Fort. Continue east until you find the group in a courtyard next to a medium-sized hut. This battle will be challenging, but use the NPCs to your advantage, striking when opportunities arise. Eliminate all three to completely eradicate the Kabukimono threat.
