Just gotta give props to Sucker Punch for not making this a game about getting revenge on your father's killer. Not even a side quest for it, Ubisoft is still scratching their head on how they got around that.
@@melvinlondon7787 Well, no, but it easily could've been written that way. In retrospect, the story wasn't all that memorable, but at least it tried to do something different which is truly respect, and given a second chance (Ghost Of Tsushima 2??) I bet they could make a fantastic story alongside the gameplay.
@@demonintellect9834 You answered a Rhetorical question. If you share the intellect of a demon, they must be really Stupid...And old, from the way that comment was worded.
Did the same but just with the wind stance. Something about the casual 'sword pointing down and to the side, away from the enemy' made it totally badass for me. Like, cuz Jin's no longer just a samurai, he's more, he doesn't need a traditional sword stance, just what he feels comfortable with.
1. This game is amazing and deserved game of the year over the last of us 2 2. I wish you didn’t have to kill Ryuzo 3. Good job on the challenge my boy 4. Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
6. They don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming.
This is actually what I did. Seeing as every other katana-using character (including shimura, masako, etc) uses the stone, it just felt right. Also there's something about a simple but efficient style that makes me love it
I always used the water (I think) stance cause when you hold triangle it does a very satisfying quick barrage of heavy slashes that are decently effective at staggering enemies even if you're supposed to use other stances
If you think about it, stone stance is the only really “honourable stance” due to the other stances being adapted from the monogols stances to counter their weapons.
As a person who only used Stone Stance to beat Ghost of Tsushima on Hard and Lethal. I can confirm you can beat Ghost of Tsushima using only Stone stance on Hard and Lethal Difficulty.
I beat the whole game, beat new game+, got decently leveled in multiplayer even, and 90% of the time I’m still using water stance unless the game tells me to switch stances, loved the look of water stance
@@TheVibinSage fr, but legit 2 months ago I came across the disc while sorting through my old games, and checked back on everything and by god was I trash, but the game is still so beautiful ngl
I remember beating the game for the first time, and I only ever used the stone stance. It was brutal, and felt like a mountain. This video perfectly sums up that feeling.
Ghost of Tushima first playthrough: somewhat challenging, a fun way to progress in combat Ghost of Tsushima on a 2nd playthrough after completing all the sidequests from the 1st: How can I kill everyone in 10 seconds with zero difficulty in every encounter?
I know some people use the stances all the time, but I never use them. My fighting style is about parry's and dodges so it never made a difference to me so when I saw the challenge name I was like "Is that actually a challenge tho?" Idk that's just how I play it. Good job tho it was fun to watch Edit: Upon reading three comments I've learned that this is how everybody does it
Funnily enough I pretty much beat the entire game my first and only playthrough with as minimal use of tools and stealth as possible, and primarily with only the water stance lol
Bro honestly watched one of your videos without looking at your sub count and I thought you were like a big UA-camr and I was genuinely surprised when I only saw you had like 9K good shit you keep going back Great videos
Reminds me of my original Nioh 1 build. Regular katana only. Mostly played in high stance. Made myself a glass Cannon designed to destroy enemy posture bar as fast as possible and then one shot them with a finishing blow. And playing Sekiro with Double ichimonji and no prosthetics.
So happy that I have found your channel, keep working on it, you are providing outstanding content. It is nice to know that there are more people who despise Lord Shimura :D
Ghost stance is a stance, not on the wheel, but is actively referred to as a stance (mechanically it's an ultimate of course) but in my opinion, technical fail
@@Literally___Me I think spears are easier to deal with than shield guys in general, but I found spear guys much more annoying overall with how their attacks work.
I‘ve used only Stone Stance to beat the game on hard on my first playthrough too! Gameplay wise stone stance counter sword enemies, can thrust spear and heavy enemies, only the shield enemies were quite painful for me and I use bows or bombs on them. Lore wise the Stone Stance is the only realistic stance for a samurai with a two-handed katana, the anti-shield stance felt like a polish guy with a sabre and the rest two stances are stupid with all the kicking and stuff.
glad i got to this channel early, remember me when you blow up lol i love these "can you beat" challenges they're some of the most enjoyable content to watch and hope you keep making them
You can beat all opponents with just one stance. You just gotta use parry and dodge more often. Though dodge would be more frequent since it's easier than to time a parry.
Bruh this UA-cam read my mind while enjoying the third act of the game I was thinking to myself while killing a brute I wonder what it would be like to play with only stone stance and *poof* this amazing video
Funny thing I had a bet with my friend that I was only allowed Aron stance and had to beat lethal and lethal+ before he beat the game and I realized then how good stone stance was
Already know how this video is going to end. I got my dad a ps5 and he never figured out how to stance swap until the very end of the game when I saw him fighting 4 mongols only using stone stance and he was getting thrown around by a spear dude lmaooo
Move over Shakespeare. We have a new poet. “When drawing a sword on the protagonist of the story, you know what happens. Your jingle bells are shoved down your throat.” Seriously the funniest thing I’ve heard in a while. Thank you. I desperately needed a good laugh. #haikuislit
I would prioritise stances over others, if there was a shield guy around I would be using water, if there was no shield dude but a spear guy I would use wind, no shield or spear moon, and use stone on normal swords men.
I mean sure but stone stance still gives you access to dodges and shit. Sure its a little slower on some enemies but id hardly call this a challenge run
Let me shorten this whole video for you. Yes you absolutely can beat the game only using stone stance with the correct build and tactics it’s very very possible.

Shimura uses Water stance, that’s how he holds his weapon.
I'm sorry, but who does this? The stances make the game so much more fun
If you think about it, stone stance is the only really “honourable stance” due to the other stances being adapted from the monogols stances to counter their weapons.
great video dude! Loved seeing you yeet people into the ocean, off the side off a cliff, etc. lol
I had a job to do, might as well make it a little entertaining in the process!

Those quick slashes when you hold triangle are the shit, usually use it
1 year later huh. But anyway Especially that quick 5 piece he hands out like candy
@@TheVibinSage fr, but legit 2 months ago I came across the disc while sorting through my old games, and checked back on everything and by god was I trash, but the game is still so beautiful ngl
Somehow this stance looks gracious in some way and i really love it
Not to mention, the water stance flurry is amazing for getting in damage when a boss is staggered during a duel.
4:53..."I probably killed my father's killer". Oh boy, strap in for the DLC.
In my eyes.you beat the challenge... If you have zero control and are forced to use something. Then it's not your choice. (He did a very good job.)
This dude is MAD underrated
I agree

I didn't know there were multiple stances until I accidentally hit T during the Ryuzo boss fight
(The second one..)
Yo I just started watching and your mad funny and underrated I can’t believe u only have 5k subs u deserve 1 mil also u should play sniper elite
I did that (mostly) for the first half but eventually I started mixing and matching (and switching stances at the speed of sound)
You're really funny and underrated. I just subbed
I appreciate it!
I beat the whole game with water stance so yes you definitely can
3:21 WAIT, YOU CHOSE THE WHITE HORSE AND NAMED HIM SORA TOO!? Nice.
DeezWheels>other UA-camrs. Extremely underrated
Honestly I beat the game with only water stance and the katana, I was too lazy to keep switching and using my sub-weapons 💀
9:52 "I hate dudes with spears." y'all don't know how much i can relate to those words. I. Hate. Spears.

underrated as hell bro, cheers from Kuwait
You could say this challenge was.. rock hard
That was a great haiku about the clan armor ...
I literally finished the game couple minutes ago . And just after seeing this title . I feel sorry for you bro . Great vid . Keep it up . New sub ❤️😎
"I'm not gonna use a bow"
"lemme unlock the armor that gives archery bonus"
Ghost stance only. That's a real challenge. Assassination, tools, ghost attacks.
“Can you beat ghost of Tsushima with stone stance?”
Everyone: Yes
I think beating this game WITHOUT the Stone Stance would be equally as hard
I tried this my first play through but the generals made me use the water one. The shields were too strong
It was more difficult than I initially anticipated. The spears were my biggest issue.
@@DeelwheelsI felt like spears were easier than the big guys
@@Literally___Me I think spears are easier to deal with than shield guys in general, but I found spear guys much more annoying overall with how their attacks work.

Let's get to a million then.
I barely ever used the other stances because it was too much work to switch💀
Nah you just lazy💀💀💀
4:08 bro was zooming here 💀
I so agree with the five F*** at 18:40 I felt like the same way
I did a challenge recently where I tried to beat the game without taking damage. I’m never doing it again but I did finish it
Wf both maned our white horses sora
I bought this game but havent played it yet due to trying to complete rdr2 first and i cant wait to start playing
I loved the video but at 18:24 you said “recrameing” and I can’t stop thinking about it lmFAO
Funny thing I had a bet with my friend that I was only allowed Aron stance and had to beat lethal and lethal+ before he beat the game and I realized then how good stone stance was

Water stance is un arguably the best stance,w the co bo toucan ALWAYS stun the enemy decently fast, and the high damage.🙃
You should do Elden ring next. Love your content
This guy needs way more clout
You're great man 👍👍👍
You definitely can, but you will struggle against shielded warlords and brutes
Bro really got the armour ment for a bow in a challenge where you can’t use your bow
Short answer "yes". I've done it before because it is the most traditional.

You know what? I agree, uncle Shimura kinda sucks all around.
The part where you said protection on one scholder ho needs that that was the same reaction I had
Who’s gonna tell him he used the ghost stance in yarikowa village
Yes you can and the one against shields is the best one
You can actually never use assassinate. The stab from hold triangle instantly kills unsuspecting targets
Epic narration
I would prioritise stances over others, if there was a shield guy around I would be using water, if there was no shield dude but a spear guy I would use wind, no shield or spear moon, and use stone on normal swords men.
Yes done this the whole play through
this one of the best games of all time and a fav and i beat the game only using stone stance one my first play through.
I’m getting my ps5 in a couple days and I’m so hyped to play this game
That game is what I call an enjoyable platinum
Beat rdr2 using only the volcanic pistol.
Get enough money until you get the pistol.
Dual Wielding is allowed
you can get it in chapter 1 i think
Alternative title: Ghosts of Tsushima but I play deep rock galactic
played hardest difficulty only using this stance wasn't too crazy, should've definitely make it harder
Father is now dead
His armor brings dishonor
So why am I here
Should’ve been a real option for the haiku 14:08
I literally only used one stance the entire time. Since I always parried different stances weren’t necessary
You just have to be a perfect parry god
earned my sub
I mean sure but stone stance still gives you access to dodges and shit. Sure its a little slower on some enemies but id hardly call this a challenge run
Looked forever to find that armour dye for gosaku but then I realized it’s ghost armour with gosaku helmet
