One of the best features in Ghost of Yotei is the bounty hunt, as it gives the game a true Samurai sensation. As she has just returned to her home region, Atsu lacks the reputation required to get the dangerous bounty. Thankfully, after proving her worth by claiming some of the normal bounties, she'll soon be offered to take a bounty for a formidable enemy. This foe, Soma the Condemned, is known to kill people as a price to continue playing his flute. Here's how to find Soma the Condemned location in Ghost of Yotei.

Soma The Condemned Bounty Quest Guide In Ghost Of Yotei
After completing a couple of bounty quests in Ghost of Yotei, you can visit Kojiro in Yotei's Shadow Inn to trigger new dialogue. He's the NPC next to the bounty board, whom you report to when completing bounties. This time, instead of taking a bounty quest from the board, Kojiro himself will tell Atsu about Soma the Condemned, asking her to take him down.
After traveling west of Lake Jozan, you'll find a bunch of enemies camping in front of a cave. They're also there to hunt Soma the Condemned in Ghost of Yotei. You can choose stealth or challenge them directly. Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, direct confrontation takes less time, but is riskier. On the other hand, a stealthy approach takes a longer duration since Atsu needs to be patient, but far less dangerous.
After dealing with the enemies, Atsu can check the cave in the area, only to find a huge wooden gate blocking the way inside. The only way to get inside is to take her Shamisen and play it by the gate. Soma, from inside, will then appreciate the music and grant her access inside the cave.
Move inside and keep following the linear path until there's a tiny hole in the mountain to your right side. Atsu can crawl inside that hole to reach a new area, closer to finding Soma the Condemned in Ghost of Yotei.
At the end of all the crawling, Atsu will reach a new crossroads. Go left and break the door to be able to go through it and reach Soma the Condemned in Ghost of Yotei.
Defeating Soma the Condemned isn't an easy feat in Ghost of Yotei, as he has a lot of HP and red attacks. It's understandable since he's one of the most rewarding bounties in the game. After completing the bounty and beating Soma the Condemned, Atsu will get the 
Bounty Master Armor, which is an amazing armor for players who like to parry. You can also report back to Kojiro in Yotei's Shadow Inn to get 1,500 mon.
