Shelter Stone Notes & Tips

• If you've already acquired the Lotus of the Palace Key Item from the cave behind the Guardian Ape encounter, picking up the Shelter Stone will initiate a change in the game's world state. Ashina Castle will be overrun by Interior Ministry forces, removing all of Ashina Castle's idols from your travel menu, save for the Abandoned Dungeon Entrance idol. You must re-acquire these idols by returning to Ashina Castle via that idol, and retracing your steps through the area.
• The "abiding" part of the Shelter Stone's original name, 宿り yadori, has certain negative connotations, suggesting an unwelcome or parasitic presence. The fact that the stones apparently "appear in the bodies" of people and that the one encountered in the game resembles a calcium oxalate kidney stone contribute to that image.
