GHOST OF TSUSHIMA PART 21 HONOR AND ASH - PS4 (no commentary walkthrough)

Ghost of Tsushima is an action-adventure stealth game played from a third-person perspective. It features a large open world without any waypoints and can be explored without guidance. Players can quickly travel to different parts of the game's world by riding a horse. Players can engage in direct confrontation with enemies using weapons such as a katana. Alternatively, using stealth allows one to evade enemies and strike them silently with tools such as firecrackers to create distractions, smoke bombs to disorient alerted foes, and kunai for striking multiple enemies. The game is set on Tsushima Island in the late 13th century. It features a diverse assortment of regions and buildings, such as countrysides, fields, shrines, ancient forests, villages, farms, mountainscapes, and various landmarks. Players will also encounter numerous characters, friends, and unlikely allies while adventuring. The protagonist, Jin Sakai (Daisuke Tsuji), is a samurai warrior. His friend and companion Masako is a samurai woman. The main antagonist is the ruthless and cunning general Khotun Khan of the Mongol Empire (Patrick Gallagher). Other characters include Onibaba (Minae Noji), the High Priestess (Hira Ambrosino), and Ippei the Monk (Keisuke Hoashi). In the year 1274, a Mongolian invasion fleet led by Khotun Khan lands on the Japanese island of Tsushima. Jin joins with the rest of the island's local samurai, led by his uncle Lord Shimura, in an attempt to repel the invasion. However, the battle ends in disaster, with the entire samurai army killed, Lord Shimura captured, and Jin grievously wounded and left for dead. Jin is found and nursed back to health by Yuna, a local thief, who informs him that most of Tsushima has already fallen to the Mongols. Jin then attempts to storm Khotun's stronghold at Castle Kaneda in an attempt to rescue Lord Shimura, but is unable to defeat Khotun in combat and is thrown from a bridge. Realizing that he cannot defeat the Mongols by himself or with the traditional samurai fighting style, Jin begins scouring the island to recruit allies and learn new fighting techniques to aid in his quest to rescue Lord Shimura. He manages to recruit Yuna, her brother Taka, the master archer Ishikawa, the female samurai Masako, and his old friend and mercenary Ryuzo. As Jin kills more and more Mongols, the locals begin to revere him as the "Ghost of Tsushima". Taka crafts a special climbing hook that will allow Jin to scale the walls of Castle Kaneda, and he calls for his allies to commence the rescue mission. Despite Ryuzo attempting to betray Jin to collect the bounty on his head, Jin is able to free Lord Shimura and retake Castle Kaneda.
