Get Some Quests Done Right Away
We’re actually big advocates of venturing off the beaten path in video games and forgetting about the main quests in favor of seeing other more interesting things first. This largely stands true in Ghost of Tsushima, too. We’d recommend you go and explore and hunt down some forts to conquer, Shinto Shrines to get new charms, and Hidden Shrines to unlock more slots for the aforementioned charms.
There’s a whole host of things to see on the isle of Tsushima, but before you go nuts exploring every nook and cranny, we’d advise cracking on with a few of the main quest and a couple Tales of Tsushima (side quests) right away.
That’s because some of Jin’s core abilities and tools are only unlocked after completing these first few missions. While it is possible to go ahead and clear out forts and complete other content without these tools, they simply broaden your horizons when it comes to your method of taking down Mongols.
