Ghostwire Tokyo: How to Get Thicket Talismans & What They Do

In Ghostwire Tokyo, Akito has a ton of different supernatural powers and abilities at his disposal to take care of the sinister Visitors that have overrun Tokyo. One of these is the Thicket Talisman, but where others deal damage to enemies, this talisman actually benefits those who are looking to avoid taking on enemies head-on and taking a sneakier option. Here’s everything you need to know about Ghostwire Tokyo’s Thicket Talismans.

What Do Thicket Talismans Do?

Thicket Talismans summon shrubs that obstruct a Visitor’s line of sight when you throw them. These bushes make perfect hiding places that let Akito sneak around without being detected, which is ideal for those that prefer to go the stealthy route, rather than going in all guns blazing.
