Quick Tip: Dont bother running around trying to uncover the fog on the map. Instead liberate the map by clearing out all the mongol invaded areas. Once cleared, the map will clear off all of its fog.
@@ASMRDevourer don't bother, upgrade your ronin or gosaku armor and do like Qasem said to uncover stuff. If you want to farm artifacts later then upgrading the traveler's may be worth.
The position of the stance buttons make sense. Stone Stance: X, crossing swords Water Stance: O, shape of a shield Wind Stance: Triangle, spearhead Moon Stance: Square, the shape of brutes
@@griffintallen the half and half of Jin, half samurai, half ghost, employs the fear of his enemies during the ghost stance to his advantage while using the strength and skill of a samurai
Stances are so damn good. Once u get all of them u feel like a god. Especially if you know how to switch at will for each enemy. The combat really gets fun then
Those yellow birds are enabling my ADD lol. I'm on the way to a quest and ... oooh a yellow bird! And then I start doing something else that I saw nearby lol
Fellow ADD brother here, I just got this game today and ventured away from the main quest and did hella side missions because I kept seeing new stuff pop up on the map 💀
Yesterday, I saw yet another one and said "Oh no, not again!". Sometimes, I take more than an hour to complete a mission, because of them. But I never resist, they're like chocolate!
the game just feels alive. it’s genuinely beautiful. not super realistic. anytime i’m running around i have anxiety because i know at any corner there could be potential to do something, the wind mechanic, the golden bird and the fireflies just add a fun way to explore without just having gps directions. it’s just fun
Take your time and clear the entire first act part of the island, and when I say entire I mean every single side quest, shrine, fox den and so on. This will basically give you enough experience to unlock good techniques early, give you enough crafting materials to fully upgrade your first chosen armor (I recommend the clan samurai one from Lady Masako) and also to upgrade your tanto (stealth kill speed) to max and your katana to at least half the way. In other words, when you come to the second act you're gonna be so OP you'll probably want to set the difficulty to hard.
I cant even express my anger in words at a lot of these "critics" saying ah yes ghost of Tsushima is generic open world game number 2765. Like, have you played the game. The combat system is best in class, the story is great, and world breathtaking but they wanna nitpick, theres the slightest tiniest little minuscule amount of graphical downgrade -2 points. I'm having a blast playing since launch, haven't let go for a second outside of work, sleep, and eating.
mikeisu basically block, if you hold it down you’ll literally never get touched by another arrow, that’s is if you have unlocked the ability to block them
The traveler outfit also comes with a lil FireFly you can follow, just like the lil yellow birds, that will lead you to small items like scrolls and crickets
I have beaten this game. I have Platinumed it. 100% completion. And I'm still going to watch this video because I love this game so much, I just want to listen to people talk about it.
@@dice1378 You can continue to play the game after you beat it and replay missions at a higher difficulty and try and get all the extras in the game. Sorry for the late reply hope this helps you bro
Have been playing this game for 7h now. Can’t stop, its so fun EDIT: The game just keeps getting better, i just started act 3. EDIT 2: Just got platinum. 10/10 game for me
@@whoswho2762 no it's 80$+ what big game like this is EVER 60$ brand new for PS4 especially when it first comes out...... Maybe those shitty no name games
Last tip is best lol. I too spent a few hours just running side to side, up and down, just to clear the fog and map and then boom whole map clears itself 🤦♂️ Clearing Mongol camps also clears a big portion of fog
I’m now on NG+ and I must admit that SP did a great job using visual cues to find secret items. TIP: If your using the Traveller’s Attire and you’re within range of an artefact, it will not just vibrate your controller but you’ll see a firefly you can follow towards the item’s location.
I’ve done played everything in ACT 1 like all side quest and all camps. It’s way better if you’re playing in the Hard difficultly. I recommend doing everything you can in that first part of the map before progressing any further. It’ll give you time to unlock all stances, and give you time to practice
@@Tj-sl6my True. Has more to do with the enemies are all pretty easy to read. God damn Khotun Khan is difficult, because his attacks can be difficult to read at first. Just need more attack patterns for enemies. Like we get a bunch of attacks/stances. Wish enemies were like that, but the AI is pretty retarded in this game. Good game, but kinda half baked. Feels more like their first attempt of game like this, but it isnt...
I've worn the traveler's armor the entire game. Never switched it from when I got it. It's my favorite armor set even tho its not armor. He just looks like a wandering outcast samurai warrior in it
Ronin attire/Kensei armor (2nd look) have been core parts of my looks, I always go for a straw hat Ronin look, the betrayer's hat and wanderer's straw hat are quite good for that along with the Tengai, and of course the "Hidden Heart" sword kit is perfect for that look in my opinion. I recommend anyone to try it out sometime, it's a really good combo/look to try, and to adopt.
This game is like a screen saver you can play. It's so beautiful. And the combat is so polished. This game got me into playing games with a traditional Japanese aesthetic. I'm playing Sakura of Rice and Ruin and Nioh 1&2 next.
You can jump and attack enemies in mid-air, I found that really awesome. X and Square performs a downward thrust and X and Triangle performs an awesome drop-kick that increases stagger :)
@Shaman Xeeddark souls your joking! Lmao!!! This game is brilliant and it is the most astonishing open world ever created! This game has definitely raised the bars for open world titles. Dark souls any of them dont even scratch the surface to how magnificent this game is!
I actually enjoyed clearing the fog of war. It's a good way to explore the beauty of Tsushima. This is one of the game that you don't want to speedrun. Just enjoy everything at your own pace.
In act 3, you're gonna be temporarily locked out of a huge part of the map for certain story reasons. If you worry that you wont be able to come back and finish side quests from those areas don't worry. Just continue the main story after this "locked out" state and after about 2 main story missions you're gonna be allowed to go back to the other parts of the island!
Unrelated but I've watched so many of your Monster Hunter videos that I instinctively dub your intro with: "...welcome back to another Monster Hunter World: Iceborne video."
This is my new favorite game. The environment is just so beautiful sometimes I just wander around admiring it without any actual mission in mind, then get ambushed and mauled down by a wandering bear 😅
I'm tired of people saying that the combat is not dynamic. Its actually very fun to switch between stances and moves are beautifully done. Refelecting a certain level of realism in samurai battles.
Pro Tip: Don't upgrade everything the first time around. It'll diminish replayability, go for specific builds so you will want to play again. I'm traditional Samurai mainly. Second playthrough, I'm going Shinobi, then Archer. Edit: I'm an avid Microsoft fan by the way. A good game is a good game though, no matter the console.
I don't think the armour differences really matter enough to be deemed as "builds" in the way like an RPG like Bloodborne or Elder Scrolls etc having properly diverse builds. It's not enough to where replaying the game is much different at all honestly.
The number one trick I have learned (that I wish I had known earlier on): walk up to a sitting NPC and gently tap the circle button in quick succession (while stationary) a hidden trophy unlocks! It’s incredible! Try it yourself!
Man i started this gem of a game 2 days ago and i am HOOKED. Its been a while since i've been able to complete a game cause i just lost interest in it, but this game.. man i'm smiling as i'm wrecking people as a samurai, the combat is so exceptionally good in my opinion. I've borrowed it from my father in law for now but i'll be getting the directors cut for myself.. absolutely stunning
One thing I love about this game, and there are many, is that fact that fast travel IS fast travel! Not one of those games where you may as well run the fast travel, I’m looking at you Division2!
I didn’t know you could reset stamina by dashing, thanks for that tip! The “Traveler’s Attire” is all I use unless I’m gonna fight, but it looks so bland, that is until I found the White Dye Merchant, then it was the bee’s knees... or I thought it was until I found the Black Dye Merchant & combined the “Sakai Mask”, & the “Genbu Straw Hat” with it. Jin is now murdered out. And the cherry atop my murdered out samurai murder cake was the “Breath Of Hachiman” sword kit.🤩 Now I never change outfits unless I have to do a LOT of fighting or if I’m gonna duel someone.
@@nguyenmanh2101 some people just had too much time..and some people just try to finish it for a weekend... i had fun but it getting tiredsome.. since i been play this type of game for very long time and story is only thing that get me going for 10 of hours... getting upgrade... i used whatever i had..
The gameplay is complex. But it eases you into it. Now I have the stances memorized so I don’t even look at what one I’m switching too during a large fight. 10/10 game
Thanks for the tips, just picked it up and diddnt really want to go into an open world game without knowing anything about it. Id say you did a good job explaining the basics without spoiling anything.
Just got my platinum, and have to say my major tips are: use your resolve liberally and dont be afraid to use those ghost tools! Outside of boss fights, I was overflowing with resolve and ammo. Dont have the FOMO and use those abilities, ammo and resolve is abundant and makes the game a lot more fun to use those cool abilities
Arekkz i love the clean style of everything about ur channel from the video thumbnail and titles and overall in-video presentation so please keep up the way ur doing the way ur doing things and just follow what u feel is best for ur content because for people like me, we can admire it :)
I played this game slowly and enjoyed the environment and writing more than other games that I just run from mission to mission unlocking everything I can. It just has those vibes lol
I just bought my PS5 and i know i wanted Ghost of Tsushima way back when it was released 2 years ago. I've been playing it for the last 3 days and it's breathtakingly beautiful. This game challenges me to rethink a lot about combat cos i love to bash my way through. I have to strategize my battles and think up of creative ways to defeat the enemies especially when i'm up against encampments. But i have to say chain assasination and OTH sniping with the bow is my go to as i can headshot the archers on lookout and flit around the camp silently and take out enemies before they realized i'm there. Fun fact: i just realized throwing smoke bomb @ the enemy will burn them. Not sure if anyone has made that discovery yet. And i realized that if there are rocks nearby where Jin can jump, you can make use of it as part of your attack combo by jumping off and dealing stagger to enemies before finishing them off.
The Traveler's set starts at 10%, goes 20 at level 2 and 30 at max level, but the fact that you can't hotkey swap it without going in the menus kills it for me, I'd probably just use it during collectible hunts. The leader observation trick does not increase "ever so slightly" man, its literally twice as fast! From the moment that I casually got 2 points from my first leader, now I just save outside a camp and just go at it until I can take a real good look at those guys first, it would be stupid and incredibly detrimental not to do so until you have all 4 stances honestly.
Hey guys questions😕! Is this game better then red dead redemption ? Please be honest because I have not been able to get hooked on a game since rdr2 thanks
I'm not gonna say it's better than rdr2 but it doesn't have that real world mechanics stuff which really ruined rdr2 for me! So you don't have to feed Jin & shave him etc!
One other thing, once you finish the game. If you're the type to restart the game for a good challenge, you go out to the menu and you see "New Game +", from what I see, you start the game with every skill you unlocked, armor set, sword kit, bow kit every thing and go into the game with that, the options of difficulty are the same and make it harder. There's Easy, Medium, Hard and legend I think. One other thing say you upgrade one of your armor sets fully you will get maybe one or two additional armor set upgrades and usually they're pretty good. You also get to choose a horse name aswell as you start the game. There's also a vendor that sells cool masks, helmets, two armour sets I believe and sword kits yknow the stuff you get from vendors and stuff just some added things.
mmm so the attire armor is in direct contrast with the map at the end of the story, i like to explore, i think that in this game is a good part of the experience so i will take all the time i want to uncover the fog
Started playing it yesterday! The thing with observing the Leader to get the stances faster is incredibly helpful thank you! :D Now I just have to silence my Samurai pride and not go into a Standoff at the beginning of every fight xD
For anyone coming back for this or got the game on PC. Play the side quests!!!! There are a lot of fun side quests in this game, especially the one that branches out of the main quest.
When was the last game on xbox only thats gotten this much attention .......(maybe its because I'm not in the xbox loop) Ps4 has had two in the last month or so xbo is deffiently not the place to be this gen its silly theres people out there who think otherwise
I have been waiting for this game since I first saw it a e3 17...and I have to say it is hands down exceeding my already high expectations for this game...it is absolutely beautiful and I enjoy the difficulty...well worth the wait
I am glad they toned down the vibrating and added a green firefly to help direct you to the collectables. The only realy daunting thing for this game is you need easily over 1000 flowes to unlock ALL of the color sets.
I wish there were more massive battles,and a chance to command your own army. Once you complete the game and take over all the mongol camps.They attack the island in massive groups at random places . Also the enemies should take over camps at random . It would give the game a purpose to keep on playing.
The thing that i wanted to know is that is impossible remain an honorable samurai. I mean, the first time that you do an assassination from the back it gives you flashback of your uncle..but you inevitably become a ghost. I really don't like that choice, i remember that in dishonored you have the options to play with or without lethal kills, so it would have been cool that your action affect your paths, so you can be an honorable samurai or a stealth shinobi..
PSA: some tales can be lost if you progress at certain points in the game example: kenji tales 1 of 3 can be lost if no done before castle kaneda as completing it will unlock kenji tales 2 of 3
Same happened to me but after I did Kenji tales 2/3 I went back to where his part 1/3 was and was able to play it I think it disappears because of a bug after Castle Kaneda but if you go back to it in person it’ll reappear
Finished the game first time without the travels attire. Basically there is walkthrough and guides everywhere. It's very efficient to use resources to armors, weapons and items
I liked this game so much I threw it on “lethal” and “Kurosawa mode” and started replaying it immediately. Play it normally first tho, maybe only put boss fights in Kurosawa mode, the game world is too beautiful to rock B&W the whole time unless it’s a replay (plus some missions require you to look for colors)
I'm in chapter 2 and I have done a ton of side quests. I would say without a doubt Evasion is better than deflection. I rarely use the block button as I typically sidestep everything. When you fight a set of enemies always take out the archers first. I will das past ev4just to kill the archers first...I'm not kidding. Then I fight the rest. I find dodging towards an enemy during a red or blue attack is the best as it generally puts you behind the enemy.

Shaman Xeed Found the incel edge lord. Go cry in a corner garbage baby.
I dig the Friday game releases ngl. thanks for the tips!
Only if amazon delivers it in time lol
Amazon sucked at next day for a long time (even before Covid). Which is why I started buying literally everything digital.
One thing I love about this game, and there are many, is that fact that fast travel IS fast travel! Not one of those games where you may as well run the fast travel, I’m looking at you Division2!
I didn’t know you could reset stamina by dashing, thanks for that tip! The “Traveler’s Attire” is all I use unless I’m gonna fight, but it looks so bland, that is until I found the White Dye Merchant, then it was the bee’s knees... or I thought it was until I found the Black Dye Merchant & combined the “Sakai Mask”, & the “Genbu Straw Hat” with it. Jin is now murdered out. And the cherry atop my murdered out samurai murder cake was the “Breath Of Hachiman” sword kit.🤩 Now I never change outfits unless I have to do a LOT of fighting or if I’m gonna duel someone.
Thanks for blocking spoilers! Downloaded it on launch day but haven't gotten around to playing it yet. Great video btw 👍
this game is basicly the next Tenchu that never happened.. I love it so much
i like the way horse came after being called, they run allong with us, and stay close tu us,
"You can find all secrets and collectibles after finishing story"
Ptshh like I'd have the patience to do side stuff AFTER completing the game lol
What the hell are you talking about, the moment i finish the story that the moment everything is 100% for me
I like to find most of the collectibles and equipment upgrades, etc. before I end the main story
@@nguyenmanh2101 some people just had too much time..and some people just try to finish it for a weekend... i had fun but it getting tiredsome.. since i been play this type of game for very long time and story is only thing that get me going for 10 of hours... getting upgrade... i used whatever i had..
@@campkira even the story isn't amazing either.
I like to do a minor cleanup after I finish the game
3 things I wished I knew before starting:
1. Wind Chimes
2. Wind Chimes
3. Wind Chimes
That water stance gives me dark riku vibes
2 hours and 20 minuttes and I'm unsheathing my katana...
Is that a long time or just an amazing set up?
Grey Saber it’s normal
Technically your "tachi" since it's a militar sword.
@Shaman Xeed sorry sir but ur cringe
@Shaman Xeed Epic BRUH MOMENT
Yes!!! Talking to random people almost always gives you some kind of Quest. A very organic way to hand out side activities.
I love how understated and subtle the travellers attire is, it makes me feel like a roguish mysterious samurai emerging from the fog of war
1 day until I unleash my tachi on the mongol hordes. Going samurai playthrough. Honor is all!
U gotta wait another day?
Daniel LaGant lol, nope. As you've no doubt discovered by now story arcs force your hand. You will at some point rely on something dishonourable.
I'm doing this on my stream. I'm doing my first play through as doing whatever. Second play through no stealth at all 3rd FULL ON NINJA
@Shaman Xeed I'm sorry you're Chinese
@@quack420 LOL wait are the mongols Chinese?
Thank you Arekkz! So hyped to play this tonight!
Man I got 6 hours till I can start downloading it.... And at 400 kbps.... It's gonna be a bit.
@@devyncole7435 you should be able to download already if you have it pre ordered. You just won't be able to play it until midnight
The gameplay is complex. But it eases you into it. Now I have the stances memorized so I don’t even look at what one I’m switching too during a large fight. 10/10 game
Thanks for the tips, just picked it up and diddnt really want to go into an open world game without knowing anything about it. Id say you did a good job explaining the basics without spoiling anything.
This makes me want a new Tenchu game even more....
That's what sekiro was supposed to be
Ohhh tenchu, sigh.
My Best Buy order arrived 30 minutes before I went to work:)
I'm assuming you called in late like any responsible gamer would 🤔
Did you take emergency leave? 'cause you should :p
Man they just sent mine in the morning getting it by 9 tomorrow
Why does America get everything last
I still have 4 hours until the pre order is done
Just got my platinum, and have to say my major tips are: use your resolve liberally and dont be afraid to use those ghost tools! Outside of boss fights, I was overflowing with resolve and ammo. Dont have the FOMO and use those abilities, ammo and resolve is abundant and makes the game a lot more fun to use those cool abilities
I like this reminder , I tend to be conservative so I'll keep that in mind
Arekkz i love the clean style of everything about ur channel from the video thumbnail and titles and overall in-video presentation so please keep up the way ur doing the way ur doing things and just follow what u feel is best for ur content because for people like me, we can admire it :)
“Ghost of Tsushimer”
😂😂😂 gold
This game is absolutely beautiful, gameplay mechanics “nice”
I played this game slowly and enjoyed the environment and writing more than other games that I just run from mission to mission unlocking everything I can. It just has those vibes lol
I just bought my PS5 and i know i wanted Ghost of Tsushima way back when it was released 2 years ago. I've been playing it for the last 3 days and it's breathtakingly beautiful.
This game challenges me to rethink a lot about combat cos i love to bash my way through. I have to strategize my battles and think up of creative ways to defeat the enemies especially when i'm up against encampments.
But i have to say chain assasination and OTH sniping with the bow is my go to as i can headshot the archers on lookout and flit around the camp silently and take out enemies before they realized i'm there.
Fun fact: i just realized throwing smoke bomb @ the enemy will burn them. Not sure if anyone has made that discovery yet. And i realized that if there are rocks nearby where Jin can jump, you can make use of it as part of your attack combo by jumping off and dealing stagger to enemies before finishing them off.
The Traveler's set starts at 10%, goes 20 at level 2 and 30 at max level, but the fact that you can't hotkey swap it without going in the menus kills it for me, I'd probably just use it during collectible hunts. The leader observation trick does not increase "ever so slightly" man, its literally twice as fast! From the moment that I casually got 2 points from my first leader, now I just save outside a camp and just go at it until I can take a real good look at those guys first, it would be stupid and incredibly detrimental not to do so until you have all 4 stances honestly.
Hey guys questions😕! Is this game better then red dead redemption ? Please be honest because I have not been able to get hooked on a game since rdr2 thanks
Yes
I'm not gonna say it's better than rdr2 but it doesn't have that real world mechanics stuff which really ruined rdr2 for me! So you don't have to feed Jin & shave him etc!
Thank you. Been playing it for the past 2 day's... DOPE
One other thing, once you finish the game. If you're the type to restart the game for a good challenge, you go out to the menu and you see "New Game +", from what I see, you start the game with every skill you unlocked, armor set, sword kit, bow kit every thing and go into the game with that, the options of difficulty are the same and make it harder. There's Easy, Medium, Hard and legend I think. One other thing say you upgrade one of your armor sets fully you will get maybe one or two additional armor set upgrades and usually they're pretty good. You also get to choose a horse name aswell as you start the game. There's also a vendor that sells cool masks, helmets, two armour sets I believe and sword kits yknow the stuff you get from vendors and stuff just some added things.
mmm so the attire armor is in direct contrast with the map at the end of the story, i like to explore, i think that in this game is a good part of the experience so i will take all the time i want to uncover the fog
i want watch but i cant spoilers :D i have to wait until tomorrow :D
Agreed
Tonight actually! I’m able to play it at 9pm pacific time.
@@NickelbackSavedRocknRoll Lucky for you I get mine tomorrow 9 Am GMT +1
Sometimes I turn the video on then look away or close my eyes and just listen to the tips
@@Philosophical24 same😁
I’ve made it a priority to go to all the hot springs and fox shrines to get my health and resolve upgraded to the most possible.
Started playing it yesterday! The thing with observing the Leader to get the stances faster is incredibly helpful thank you! :D Now I just have to silence my Samurai pride and not go into a Standoff at the beginning of every fight xD
I cant observe them somehow , do i have to unlock that?
@@jatochhoor5382 same, was just asking that.
@@blkwng if i find it out i let you know
@@blkwng go to the question mark just before the quest where you get the bow , sneak around and you can observe
@@jatochhoor5382 the one that is southeast of hiyoshi springs? So I dont unlock onsercing until I do that question mark? Thanks for the help btw 😁
Only 4 hours left until the ghost leaves his mark.
Arabian gulf.
1 hour for me 😁
@@JohnRon lucky
@@JohnRon 1 and a half hours left for me.
Im in Arizona and its coming out on 9 pm
You're the only reviewer that I trust anymore. Everyone else is whiny and stuff. At least you admit your own bias.
"Everyone else is whiny and stuff"?
I’ve heard many other reviewers state that they are a huge weeb so the review will be biased, so I have no clue what you mean
The charm of Inari from arrow peak shrine is extremely useful too since its gives you extra loot while equiped.
For anyone coming back for this or got the game on PC. Play the side quests!!!! There are a lot of fun side quests in this game, especially the one that branches out of the main quest.
What’s the Drifter from D2 doing in the thumbnail
😆
My parents won’t let me get it since I got last of us 2 last month :/
Wrong choice, should’ve gotten this.
😐😐😐
that was a BIG mistake
OOF
PoW! Right in the kisser!
Have not unlocked any skills yet but im loving the combat already. The guiding wind mechanics is also awesome!
I love the travellers attire. I made a Darth Vader outfit with the samurai helmet and Avenging Lord mask.
Imagine choosing Xbox over PS4
When was the last game on xbox only thats gotten this much attention .......(maybe its because I'm not in the xbox loop)
Ps4 has had two in the last month or so xbo is deffiently not the place to be this gen its silly theres people out there who think otherwise
I just bought both
About to start playing this for the first time, glad I watched this first, great video!
I have been waiting for this game since I first saw it a e3 17...and I have to say it is hands down exceeding my already high expectations for this game...it is absolutely beautiful and I enjoy the difficulty...well worth the wait
I am glad they toned down the vibrating and added a green firefly to help direct you to the collectables. The only realy daunting thing for this game is you need easily over 1000 flowes to unlock ALL of the color sets.
I wish there were more massive battles,and a chance to command your own army. Once you complete the game and take over all the mongol camps.They attack the island in massive groups at random places . Also the enemies should take over camps at random . It would give the game a purpose to keep on playing.
The thing that i wanted to know is that is impossible remain an honorable samurai. I mean, the first time that you do an assassination from the back it gives you flashback of your uncle..but you inevitably become a ghost. I really don't like that choice, i remember that in dishonored you have the options to play with or without lethal kills, so it would have been cool that your action affect your paths, so you can be an honorable samurai or a stealth shinobi..
Had the most beautiful opening that I've ever seen in a game. Just got a PS5 after having my PS3 since 2011😂
PSA: some tales can be lost if you progress at certain points in the game example: kenji tales 1 of 3 can be lost if no done before castle kaneda as completing it will unlock kenji tales 2 of 3
Same happened to me but after I did Kenji tales 2/3 I went back to where his part 1/3 was and was able to play it
I think it disappears because of a bug after Castle Kaneda but if you go back to it in person it’ll reappear
The White Merchant's dye looks awesome on the travelers attire
That last tip is a lifesaver
Finished the game first time without the travels attire. Basically there is walkthrough and guides everywhere. It's very efficient to use resources to armors, weapons and items
Just started playing last week. Its absolutely amazing.
Combat system reminds me of Jedi Fallen Order and I love both of these games
I liked this game so much I threw it on “lethal” and “Kurosawa mode” and started replaying it immediately. Play it normally first tho, maybe only put boss fights in Kurosawa mode, the game world is too beautiful to rock B&W the whole time unless it’s a replay (plus some missions require you to look for colors)
Thank you, i was literally getting soo detailed in my map clearing, glad to know i don’t have to sweat missing something now
My Jin is fairly archery centric. With a certain set of armour, along with charms, it's very powerful.
I go between archery and sword play but the Tadayori armor is sexy so i am wearing it all the time.
If you want to play lethal I'd recommend getting IRON WILL as soon as possible as a lot of attacks can straight up one shot you
Much appreciated. Just started, always appreciated your videos on mhw as well.
I'm in chapter 2 and I have done a ton of side quests. I would say without a doubt Evasion is better than deflection. I rarely use the block button as I typically sidestep everything. When you fight a set of enemies always take out the archers first. I will das past ev4just to kill the archers first...I'm not kidding. Then I fight the rest. I find dodging towards an enemy during a red or blue attack is the best as it generally puts you behind the enemy.
Going in with Blind Fury like Rutger Hauer is the way to go.
