How to Unlock and Use Ghost Stance in Ghost of Tsushima

To unlock and use the Ghost Stance in Ghost of Tsushima, you’ll first need to reach a specific point in the main story.

As you progress through the game, you’ll come to a point where you’ll need to help the character Yuna defend Yarikawa. Upon completion of the mission, you’ll gain access to the special move for regular use.

To trigger it though, you’ll need to kill several enemies consecutively without taking any damage.

Any hits taken will return your counter to zero and prevent you from being able to trigger the Stance.

After gaining enough kills in a row though, a Slaughter symbol will appear and you’ll be able to enter the Ghost Stance by pressing the L3 and R3 buttons simultaneously.
