Ghost of Tsushima supplies are vital to progress in the game.

There might come a point where you're wondering how to get the Ghost of Tsushima grapple hook? This will help you out. It's a vital bit of gear in the game and, for the most part, tied to the story in a way that's hard to miss.

There are Ghost of Tsushima fox dens and inari shrines all over the world for you to find. These little spots of worship are more than just a moment of respite because praying at them will gradually increase the number of stat-buffing charms you can equip. The more you find, the more you can improve various character attributes so it's a good idea to drop in on as many as you can find.

Completing the Ghost of Tsushima bamboo strikes you can find will increase your resolve, a special ability meter that powers many of your combat and healing skills. The more of these button matching mini-games you find, the more resolve you have and the more you can unleash powerful moves in a fight or heal yourself. You can even come back from the dead if you have enough. Useful then.

The Ghost of Tsushima Shinto Shrines and Torii gates can be a little confusing because while the Torii gates are what you're usually looking for in the world, it's the Shinto Shrines they lead to that you really want. Praying at one of these alters will reward you with a major charm that will buff key character stats. The more you find, the more options you have to customize your abilities.

The Ghost of Tsushima Komatsu Forge area can be a confusing discovery. You can find it easily from the start of the game but while it's marked 'Mongol Territory', it'll probably be completely empty. That's because it's tied to a certain story mission, so while it appears as an enemy base to clear out on the map, you can't actually do that until you start the mission in question. Here, we explain what's going on and how you can clear the invaders out.
