00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays, and today we're taking a look at 10 hidden secrets you may not have
00:13come across while playing Ghost of Tsushima.
00:21Before we begin, we publish new videos all week long, so be sure to subscribe to Mojo
00:25Plays and ring the bell to be notified about our latest videos.
00:31Resource Spawn Points
00:37If you ever found yourself hurting for resources to get more sticky bombs, kunai, and wind
00:42chimes, well, there is an easy way to find each of those.
00:45One of the things Ghost of Tsushima doesn't tell you is that you can find each type of
00:50resource in very specific locations.
00:53Resources to craft explosives will always spawn under homes and wagons.
00:58Resources for wind chimes will always be at the very front of houses and shops.
01:02As for arrows, you will always find those laying around Mongolian tents and watchtowers.
01:07Now you can spend less time wandering around for materials.
01:17A Seeker's Attire
01:26When Ghost of Tsushima launched its Director's Cut version in 2021, many folks weren't
01:31too keen on spending more money on a game they already owned.
01:35Those who did pony up the dough found that there was more added to the game, and even
01:39more added after the Director's Cut launch.
01:42In February 2022, Ghost of Tsushima got an update that added a special shrine in the
01:47northern area of Iki Island.
01:50Head over there to retrieve a special set of armor that was once used by a legendary
01:55seeker.
01:56Say, you know what game launched in February 2022?
01:58A little PS5 gem called Horizon Forbidden West.
02:07Delsin's Beanie
02:17Aloy isn't the only PlayStation character to get a shout out from Ghost of Tsushima.
02:21Sucker Punch Productions has long been known to throw in some references to their previous
02:25games.
02:26Ghost of Tsushima pays tribute to the IP that came before it, just as the IP did with its
02:31predecessor.
02:32Head to the Oumi Monastery and climb to the very top of the temple to obtain a new headband
02:37called Band of the Second Sun.
02:39But that isn't the only reference to Delsin Rho, Iki Island hides a small mural dedicated
02:45to Delsin's twin bird icons as well.
02:54Baku the Voiceless
03:05If you thought you saw and did everything there is to do in Ghost of Tsushima, chances
03:10are you didn't go for a New Game Plus run.
03:13Yes, New Game Plus hides a few special secrets of its own, one of them being this NPC you
03:19will never meet during an initial playthrough.
03:22Baku the Voiceless is a special merchant that offers new ways to experience Ghost of Tsushima.
03:28Through a new currency called Ghost Flowers, you can obtain new armor and charms from him
03:33that will grant bonus abilities or fun gimmicks.
03:36Armor will let you dress as Ryuzo or Ishikawa, while various charms will offer fun new mechanics
03:42like making combat more visceral, impose a greater challenge by making enemy attacks
03:47insta-kill you, or even recruit Mongolian dogs by simply petting them.
03:52So go nuts with the new charms.
03:58The Singing Crickets
04:05While the game does encourage you to go for Sashimono Banners, Inari Shrines, and the
04:10like, there is one collectible it leaves entirely up to you to discover for yourself, the Singing
04:15Crickets.
04:16Tsushima hides twenty of these crickets around the land at various locations like cemeteries
04:21and temples.
04:22Collect five Singing Crickets and you'll unlock a brand new ability, change the weather
04:27with your flute.
04:29Collect ten for another song to change the weather.
04:32Collect all twenty to become a deity and change the weather whenever you please.
04:37Just make sure you visit an old friend's grave after the campaign to pay your respects.
04:42And earn yourself a nice PlayStation trophy.
04:50Bowing to Landmarks
04:57Occasionally, you might find an inconspicuous location marked with the sign of a person
05:02bowing.
05:03None of the locations seem all that special, but those who have bowed in these areas found
05:08another charming lair to Ghost of Tsushima.
05:11Bowing at these landmarks will trigger fun little animations and interactions.
05:15Finding all of these hidden altars won't get you anything, but they do offer a brief respite
05:20from all of the intense action.
05:29The Origami Table
05:36Once the adventure ends, most players probably hustled back out into the world to clean up
05:40side missions or tackle Iki Island.
05:43But how many stayed behind and looked around the house Jin resides in?
05:47One of the coolest rewards you'll find for finishing Ghost of Tsushima is a table covered
05:51in origami.
05:52It's not just any origami either, it's PlayStation origami.
05:57Every piece is made to resemble one of the many PS4 exclusives we saw during that console's
06:03lifetime, as well as some of the studios behind them.
06:06Think you can name off every game represented here?
06:13Sakai Horse Armor
06:24Horse armor may not have a great reputation in video games, but we promise you, Ghost
06:28of Tsushima isn't going to nickel and dime you for such a commodity.
06:32Although the Iki Island expansion did add a special horse armor for you to obtain.
06:37All you have to do is travel to the island and complete the mythic tale called The Legacy
06:42of Kazumasa Sakai.
06:44Not only does your horse get increased damage resistance, your horse can also charge into
06:48enemies way harder than before.
06:58Cooper Clan Armor
06:59It's been talked about to death as it was spoiled the second Ghost of Tsushima dropped,
07:10but in case you weren't playing the game at the time, yes, there is a really big Sly
07:15Cooper easter egg in Ghost of Tsushima.
07:17Unfortunately, you're going to have to get super deep into the story in order to find
07:22it.
07:23Once you've unlocked the third region of Tsushima, try to locate Iwai Village and head
07:27east.
07:28Along the coast, you'll find a cliff where a Pillar of Honor sits with a brand new sword
07:33kit, brandishing a raccoon tail.
07:35And yes, this is just one piece of a set.
07:38You can find a Cooper Clan headband at Jogaku Temple, and a special die for the Gosaku Armor
07:44called Ocean's Guardian.
07:46Put them all together for a special trophy dedicated to the family of famous thieves.
07:56The Platinum Reward
08:05We know not everybody is a trophy hunter.
08:07Many folks simply do not care about PlayStation's fun little system of trophies and Platinums,
08:12but what if we told you there is a reward waiting for you?
08:15Yes, Ghost of Tsushima is among the few games that actually rewards you for obtaining the
08:21Platinum Trophy.
08:23Not only do you get a special message from Sucker Punch Productions, you also get an
08:27exclusive die to equip onto your armor.
08:30Look at that shine.
08:41Did you find any of these secrets for yourself?
