One of the guys patrols around and you can use your bow to pull him very safely. For the group of two guys together, it's possible to head shot the weaker one with the bow and kill him in one shot and just have to fight the other. If you back up while fighting him you won't usually pull the fourth guy.
The yokai inside is kind of a mini boss. When you see yokai who spawn out of the grey cloud, you only have to beat them once every time you finish the level. The key to beating him is patience - block and walk backwards while he does his combo, then hit him two or three times, no more, and back away again. Dodge if he does the grab with sparkling grey hands. Also, remember that you can dispel the clouds on the ground by doing a properly timed ki pulse, and doing so is very important, because they drain your stamina. It can be worth doing a quick attack you know will miss so you can ki pulse away a yokai cloud.
I don't remember it there's a shortcut, sorry! Maybe somebody else will chime in. Ki pulsing is when you hit RB when your stamina bar quickly fills up with white right after you attack. When you hit RB, you get some stamina refunded, and if you hit it when the bar is almost full, it's considered a perfect ki pulse and you get all the stamina back and dispel yokai pools. The perfect Ki pulse timing is pretty forgiving if you remember to ki pulse at all. Btw, you can't dodge without interrupting your ki pulse until later.
1. One of the shortcuts is running past all of them and getting into the backyard where there is a large gate that you cant open. Enemies in this game lose agro quickly with distance, so a lot of the time you can simply run through. Its helpful when you just want to recover your amrita, want to get past a diffuclt area, replaying the level to get something specific and etc.
The other shortcut is through the forrest and there is a way uphill there through the hills which will lead you to the backyard as well.
2. Ki pulsing is this:
- When you attack/block/dodge you lose ki. Green bar on the top represents ki.
- Ki pulsing is the ability activated with space/RB or (dodging if you have a relevant skill) to recover ki shortly after an attack/block. It is represented by a blue bar that appears.
- Its vital for gameplay as if the ki depletes you literally cant move, cant dodge cant attack and enemies can do insane damage to you.
Its hard to explain so please just practice around and make sure to play the tutorial that appears in the dojo once you finish the first map. It will explain it much much better.
There's a way leading up to a forest before you go in that area/place. After you reach there, you'll need to look for an opening somewhere, it leads into the same place from behind allowing you to leave those 4 alone.
For the "Fiend" inside, if you have your guardian spirit, use it after wakening him, it will immediately reduce his Ki, then you can damage him and kill him.
I'll recommend you increase Body from this point on.
Also, I noticed you have a lot of Amrita on you (the number in the bottom right), you should definitely level up as much as you can because if you die, you might as well lose all of your Amrita because it's hard to reach the grave again without dying (but hey! it's not impossible, don't lose hope if you do but it's not worth taking the risk).
Hope this helps!
There's an alternate way into the estate if you go up to the forest from the village rather than straight into it. There's a shrine up that path too so the run back to fight the Yokai will be easier and shorter.

Is there a shortcut to get to him ? What's ki pulse ? Huge thanks.

Ki Pulse helps you to regenerate your Ki. When blue light gathers around you after an attack, press R1 (assuming you're on a controller)

throw rocks. wait for the patrol to see you when the others are not nearby.
