Environmental Kills

Learn how to use the environment to your advantage in Ghost of Tsushima. Discover environmental kill opportunities to defeat enemies efficiently and earn rewards.

Hey there! So, you're looking to make Jin's life a little easier by using the world around him, huh? Smart move. Ghost of Tsushima is packed with ways to turn the environment against your enemies. It's not just about swordplay; sometimes, a well-placed arrow or a nudge in the right direction is all it takes.

You'll find these opportunities scattered all over Tsushima. Keep an eye out for:

• Exploding Barrels: These red barrels are your best friend when you've got a group of Mongols cornered. A single arrow shot into one will cause a satisfying explosion, taking out anyone nearby. Just be sure you're not too close yourself!
• Swinging Lanterns: In some areas, especially near camps or villages, you might see large lanterns hanging. If you shoot the rope holding them, they'll swing down and crush enemies below. It's a great way to thin out a crowd before you even draw your katana.
• Rockfalls and Cliffs: Sometimes, you can lure enemies near unstable ledges or rock piles. A well-timed shot or even a strong attack near the edge can send them tumbling down to their doom. This is especially useful for getting rid of pesky archers or spearmen who are hard to reach.
• Traps: Keep an eye out for things like bamboo traps or even beehives. Triggering these can cause significant damage or create distractions, giving you an opening.

Using these environmental kills not only makes combat more dynamic but can also save you precious resources like Resolve. Plus, it feels pretty awesome to outsmart the Khan's forces using their own surroundings against them. So, next time you're in a tight spot, look around – the battlefield itself might just be your greatest ally!
