\u201cI wouldn\u2019t go in there,\u201d warns traveling storyteller Ugetsu, as Atsu approaches two large and looming wooden doors. \u201cBecause you may not return.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a caution many Ghost of Y\u014dtei<\/a> players loved to ignore. As the trigger point for revered side-quest The Spider Lily General, that ominous gate is the start of a haunting mythological adventure that lingers long in memory after its completion. Only fitting for a game that launched so close to Halloween.<\/p>\n

I spoke to Creative Directors, Nate Fox and Jason Connell, to find out the inspiration and secrets behind The Spider Lily General, and how they felt about the optional quest\u2019s popularity. But, similar to Ugetsu, I must warn you \u2013 there are spoilers ahead<\/strong>. You might want to play this mission before venturing any further\u2026<\/p>\n

The quest\u2019s origins<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cThe Spider Lily General was actually one of the earliest missions in the game and one of the first Mythic Tales we created,\u201d reveals Jason. \u201cIt came from one of our designers and writers, and we dissected what makes a great Mythic mission, how they\u2019d look and feel.\u201d<\/p>\n
