Today’s game is some more Ghost of Tsushima. I haven’t been neglecting this in the background, unlike some other games i’ve picked up (cough cough Final Fantasy 14 cough). I have though been wandering around doing side stuff. I namely did the quest that gets you the blow darts. While doing the quest i saw this dock with a sign that showed a guy bowing. I did that but nothing happened so i’m not sure what i missed.

On the subject of this quest, what’s with every Stealth Action game having a Poison and a Berserk “dart” option? Like every assassins creed game has one. This game has one, i wouldn’t be surprised too find out Hitman has one. I guess it must be a staple of the genre, and i guess i’m not complaining either. It really makes stealth interesting with some more offensive actions.

I also stumbled on one of these duels which was really fucking gorgeous. The duel was a bit of a challenge and i struggled to keep up with the guy’s strikes (and i had a migraine so that was working against me), but after i finally beat it i wandered around and just took in the sights of the arena. It was really pretty. Marshlands with fog honestly i feel are a little underrated.

Afterwards i went and freed another settlement and found this little waterfall before getting off, it’s a cozy little place so i think Jin would appreciate getting a rest here. It almost reminds me a little of uncharted with it’s Jungle’s and everything. Honestly i sometimes see bits of other games in this and i think thats really cool.

    The bowing is a Easter Egg of sorts. There should have been a large sculpture set nearby. If you Bow to the frog one, you get covered in hopping green frogs (purely cosmetic, goes away after a bit). There are multiple such frog (and other animal) statues.

    that duel scene looks absolutely epic!

    I really enjoy reading your write-ups and seeing your screenshots. I don’t get much time to play, so I enjoy reading about the experiences combined with the actual screenshots that you share 😁
