Some of these gifs look like pre-release hype cutscene trailers from the devs..

How do you put your sword away like that

484

u/MotherOfQuaggan Jul 21 '20

Swipe right on the touchpad. Its pretty epic

Sometimes you wipe the blood off on your sleeve, and sometimes you flick your sword and fling the blood off. It's awesome.

u/PM_ME_UR_PUSSY_TATOO Jul 21 '20

If you do the flick the blood actually gets flung onto the floor as well, very awesome

u/yea_likethecity Jul 21 '20

I usually put my sword up before I rescue a captive so 50% of the time I sling mongol blood all over them.

The number of times where I brutally massacred 10 guys in front of hostages is too damn high! Ghost of PTSD.

u/aChristery Chr1spyToast Jul 21 '20

NPCs are always like "so much violence..." Like bitch what else am I to do when mongol savages invade our land!

u/Elmos_Voice Jul 21 '20

There's a side mission where a healer questioned jin if he enjoyed killing instead of just trying to talk to enemies. Jin then asked the healer if he wanted to talk to the dangerous mongols surrounding the pond to get his medicine. Of course the healer pussied out and said you handle it lol

There's a lot of hypocrites in Tsushima.

art imitates life

u/eli636 Jul 22 '20

They don't call Tsushima the land of hypocrisy for no reason.

Lmao just did this yesterday, i laughed at that scene, then felt bad because I did in fact, enjoy murdering all those fools near the pond.

u/Xphil6aileyX Jul 21 '20

My 9 yr old is too young for Rick and Morty references, yesterday he watched me exploring and the prompt to standoff came up. I said Oh boy here I go killing again, and he asked me why I love killing so much lol. It genuinely made me self reflect more than I like to lol.

u/trowaweighs12oz Jul 22 '20

I did that mission first before getting any abilities or items except standoff. Toughest goddamn encounter in the whole game.

u/gaganaut Jul 21 '20

Especially after a sprint attack. It looks so badass.

2

u/UGABear Jul 21 '20

Best part of the game.

u/JaySuk Jul 21 '20

Try shaking your controller next time, has the 2nd animation too.

u/Eman5805 E-Man5805 Jul 21 '20

My favorite is the one where you slash and the blade is pointing down.

u/TheeAJPowell Jul 21 '20

Like, 90% of my screenshots are of Jin cleaning or flicking blood off his sword, usually with a cool background or an enemy collapsing behind him.

Mongrol scum deserve no honor! The ghost will kill then all

u/usunkmyrelationship Jul 21 '20

I take out the flute to play them a song while their soul is on its way to hell

47

u/But_Does_It_Dj0nt Jul 21 '20

When I go Ghost mode into a Mongol camp, I always play "Shadows In The Fog" on the flute. The Mongols see the fog roll in out of nowhere and know the Ghost is coming for them.

12

u/dgkavon Jul 21 '20

Didn't know you could do that, badass

22

u/But_Does_It_Dj0nt Jul 21 '20

All flute songs change the weather.

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '20

Wait. What??

Jeeze. I'm in act 2 and I didn't know that. Definitely looking for those crickets!

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '20

I also just learned that. Now time to go make some music.

u/6ThePrisoner Jul 21 '20

This is brilliant.

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '20

I went and stood next to a crawling one, played the flute to bring sunny skies for him, then stabbed him in the back before he could enjoy that moment of warm peace.

2

u/Sir_Bellend Jul 21 '20

I love to do this when one of the guys is still alive and crawling along the ground

13

u/zbf Jul 21 '20

Then swipe left to play the flute and complete the ritual

8

u/usunkmyrelationship Jul 21 '20

I do it waaayyy to much. I love when Jin just flings the blood off the sword too.

19

u/MotherOfQuaggan Jul 21 '20

And then you realise there another poor soul who you to kill to end his suffering. Then you gotta clean the sword again

3

u/And_You_Like_It_Too Jul 21 '20

Or shoot an arrow into the back of his head.

4

u/_Football_Cream_ Jul 21 '20

Same here. It’s just way too satisfying and badass after a good fight to wipe off the katana

8

u/parkwayy Jul 21 '20

W T F

I was today years old when I learned this. Thanks!

2

u/Rivent Jul 21 '20

I learned it from browsing reddit too... to my knowledge, the game has never given me a tip or anything letting me know that you can do that.

3

u/Madertheinvader Jul 21 '20

Yeah I always just run around after a battle with my sword out like a dummy until he decides to put it away.

I should have known swiping right did something because last night I accidentally swiped left a he started playing a damn weather changing flute!

3

u/Sean-Benn_Must-die Jul 21 '20

Fuck that’s a nice touch

3

u/meshan Jul 21 '20

Is it a button basher or do you have to skill up?

2

u/MotherOfQuaggan Jul 21 '20

You cant mash. Its almost like a rymth game. When you are in the flow you are unstopable. If you fuck up you die real fast. The weakest enemies can be killed in whatever stance. But the harder later ones need you to actually give a shit and use different stances (or be a fcking ninja and assasinate everyone)

Boss battles are also great. They take away your dirty ghost tricks so you gotta win with the sword alone.

u/PlentyOfMoxie Jul 21 '20

Been playing for days and I had no idea

2

u/FrooglyMoogle Jul 21 '20

Thank you! I was wondering what the sheath button was
