New Game+ Completion

Ready to dive back into Ghost of Tsushima on New Game+? This guide helps you tackle the challenges and achieve 100% completion on your second playthrough.

Alright, so you've beaten Ghost of Tsushima once and you're ready for the ultimate challenge: New Game+! This isn't just a victory lap; it's a chance to experience Jin's journey all over again with some sweet perks. Think of it as Jin's second chance to save Tsushima, but this time, you've got the experience and some upgraded gear to make it count.

The good news is, the game is designed so you can't really miss anything permanently. Even after you've finished the main story, you can still roam around the island and mop up any achievements or collectibles you might have missed. So, don't stress too much about getting everything on your first go. For New Game+, you'll be aiming for that sweet 100% completion, and this guide is here to make sure you know what to expect and how to tackle it efficiently.

A quick heads-up: This game can be a bit buggy sometimes. Seriously, save your game often! I've heard stories (and experienced it myself) where things like lighthouses, fox shrines, or even side quests can glitch out. If that happens, you might have to load an older save. It's a pain, but it's better than replaying hours of content. So, get in the habit of hitting that save button frequently, especially before starting a new quest or entering a new area.

The achievements in Ghost of Tsushima are pretty straightforward, and honestly, going for 100% is a really enjoyable experience. My best advice? Play through the main story at your own pace first. Enjoy the narrative, explore the world, and get a feel for Jin's evolution. Once you've wrapped up the main quest, then you can use this guide to help you snag any achievements you might be missing. Remember, nothing is truly missable, but those bugs can be a real pain, so keep those saves fresh!

Note on Iki Island DLC: Since the Director's Cut includes the Iki Island expansion, you might notice the collectible tracker in the game menu showing slightly different numbers than what's actually needed for certain achievements. For example, the 'Light the Way' achievement for lighthouses might show 1/10 completed, but you only need to light 8 out of 10 to unlock it. Just keep an eye on that and trust the achievement requirements over the in-game tracker for those specific instances.
