Location: Thirsty Man Outside Mibu Village
To start, head to the Wedding Cave Door idol located in the Ashina Depths area. From this idol, turn around and head down the path toward a building that is surrounded by enemies.
Approach the Building
As you approach the building, pass the enemies guarding the stairs. Instead of climbing the stairs, crouch and go underneath the structure. You’ll find a shinobi switch-door, which allows you to enter the building from below.
Give Water of the Palace to the Thirsty Man
Inside the building, you’ll find an elderly man drinking. Speak with him several times until the option to offer him the Water of the Palace appears. Once you give him the drink, he will reward you with Dragonspring Sake.
Confrontation and Rewards
After giving him the Water of the Palace, rest at the Wedding Cave Door idol and return to speak with the man. This time, he will attack you. Defeat him in battle, and you’ll be rewarded with 5 Treasure Carp Scales.
