Shoulder bashing cage doors is even more satisfying. Oh, and the light attack hold and release is actually a skill that you spend points on. Delayed Strike.
You can actually shoot the cage doors open with your bow. Aim for the lock. It makes it so easy when theres a bear in an area, and you can shoot the cage open with the bow.
I was liberating Katayama market a bit of time back when I ran into a bug. I triggered standoff( with NG+ full upg Sakai clan armour) and hit 1,2,3,4,5,5 enemies, but my internet decided to switch to my old network for a sec, lag spiking. When it switched back, it seemed to reset how much my streak was on so I just kept stand-off streak on more and more enemies. It was to the point where I had killed every enemy in the camp, completing it, but there were enemies literally just spawning in to fill the streak space. I started counting how many enemies I had killed. I got to an estimated 59 before I was getting finger fatigue. I can’t seem to replicate the effect like it was before, but I was able to switch internet manually mid standoff throughout the game, and sometimes it would give me maybe 1 or 2 more kills.
Yeah, it really comes in handy for when you want to release a bear to attack the Mongols, because you can shoot the lock off from a distance and not have to risk getting attacked yourself.
2:24 is called delayed strike and is the 4th skill in the evasion branch. And no, the result is not the same (2:47), since delayed strike deals extra melee and stagger damage. Good tip though! 👍
lol 😂 Just what I'm used to from other games. Using the face buttons for attacks feels super weird to me. Plus, you can’t control the camera if your thumb is on the face buttons. Triggers for attacks seems superior to me 🤷🏻♂️
No it shouldn't it allows you to maintain control of the camera whilst attacking therefore making you much less likely to be hit in combat. This is why controllers like the Xbox elite are much better as they allow mapping of the face buttons to the back triggers. Thusly, any action games becone so much better as you can jump attack and use items in action games without moving your right stick from camera controls.
@@kwisatzhaderach9087I’ve played clawed for as long as I can remember so this is never an issue. It feels like most games expect you to play that way too. Especially shooters
@@andykerwi I don't think the answer to poor controls should be that you must contort your hand into an unnatural position. Shooters are another example of this, I can't actually play shooters now without a mouse and keyboard, but maintaining contact with the sticks at all times on shooters is even more essential.
I discovered last night that if you jump and use a heavy attack you'll perform a kick that will stagger enemies so you can follow up with an attack. Also looks cool. (seemed to work in all stances) Might be well known, but you didn't mention it.
Thanks for these! love your Horizon vids. Been following you since you were small time before HFW came out. I’ve been wanting to replay Ghost for awhile now, so stoked when I saw your name pop up, and recent vids at that! You truly give quality content. Keep up the stellar work!!
Hey thanks! I really appreciate your support all this time 😄🙏🏼 Glad you enjoy the videos and I hope you’re having fun with your new playthrough of Ghost!
That first tip is awesome. I normally have no problem with the standoff unless it's in pampas grass. I've always watched their feet in standoffs, not possible in tall grass.
A tip I picked up is that jumping is better than dodging at evading attacks. You can even jump and then auto kick an enemy holding triangle midair. It works give it a try
A fun thing to do against the ronin when they sheath their sword is to walk up to them and hold stone stance and time their attack and if they’re low health you can instant kill instead of dodging
Fyi, the press and release of the light attack is a specific technique you have to unlock with a skill point. It's called delayed strike. So of course it works on all platforms... after you unlock it.
their are some moves that enemies cannot block when using it for the first time, such as: - moon stance kicks - stone stance charged heavy - wind stance charged heavy - shoulder charge - jumping heavy you can use these to just open up their defence and hit them with a light, but the first two don't work on shield men so don't try it on them
Another tip to make standoffs easier, you could hit the pause button before the enemy gets to you, and if you let go of triangle while paused, then unpause the game, you will strike first every time
Regarding the Ikki Island dlc, does anyone know what the best time to start it is? I was gonna start it as soon as I got it because it seemed as though the developers wanted me to play it at the start of the 2nd act because it was located on the second part of the game, but apparently it has some spoilers if you haven't almost finished the second act. Anyone know when is best to start it?
Well for the best story immersion, you can start after you completed the main island. Nonetheless i highly recommend for you to go Iki ASAP as you can get OP items and skills once you get there 😁
That was a DLC ??😂 I bought the game from Steam, and the DLC comes with the main game, and I have a question : Why in Steam the game named Ghost of Tsushima Director's cut ? In Playstation, it's only Ghost of Tsushima
idk if this is a bug or intended, but if I hold the parry button and light attack while holding it, my jin is doing his light attack while parrying at the same time, in other words my attack parries the weapon of the enemy and deals dmg at the same time (not talking about perfect block)
Once I'm back from my trip I'll do whole run on new game + hardest difficulty I felt like game was awesome and I kinda cheesed my way through it on normal difficulty.
Holding light attack and releasing it will always be a spin. It’s slower than pressing it twice since you have to hold it. It’s not the standard light combo though
Hi i rly love your guides for HFW and i would like to ask... i just watched your vid for new weapons for Burning Shores and u mentioned ull make guide for that new FZ weapon... will u be making it or no? xD some tips for good combos would be nice ig :D
Bro the charm that doubles effectiveness of minor charms used with concentration is the maximum time you can wrangle from a build but each minor charm must be a different type coupled with the tadayori armour where headshots refill concentration you never exit until everything is dead I'm only a casual so you should be deadly with this set up bro
Hey arktix i just wanted to say i love your Videos. Can you make a sharpshotbow masterclass in horizon forbidden West in the future? Would love to see it
Thanks! Curious to know what you'd want to see in a sharpshoot bow master class. The Sharpshot and hunter bows aren't as complex as some of the other weapons I did the master classes for.
@@ArktixOfficial oh you are right, i thought i had overlooked something there but your combat masterclass is really helpful already so all good. Aside from that, i look forward to what you do in the future! Sorry for my bad english btw
Ah yeah I need to get into legends mode more. Maybe I'll have some tips for it once I get into it. Check out Gooshy Gaming though. He does a lot of videos on Legends mode
Even without any of these tricks, Jin is already pretty OP when you unlock all the tools/skills. I'm only halfway through the game so far but I hope the enemies get more challenging, especially the Iki expansion.
Sarugami armor with monkey eye dye. You get the Sarugami armor from the Black Hand Riku mythic tale on Iki and the monkey eye dye from the black dye merchant.
@@jaycarkmesina2930 no worries! I was thinking about it last night and I don’t think it actually is when you retake Castle Shimura, im pretty sure it’s when you defeat the enemy commander who’s leading the siege on Yarikawa - so you should get it sooner! It also gives you a pretty epic ability that I won’t spoil
the game is already so easy i dont understand how people need to use these things in a singleplyer games you literally fighting bots/npcs whatever u wanna call it

You should search moon cancelling. Or sword cancelling. Those are some good tips for combat
Shoulder bashing cage doors is even more satisfying. Oh, and the light attack hold and release is actually a skill that you spend points on. Delayed Strike.
Ah right I forgot it was linked to a skill lol 😂 And good point about busting open the cages with a shoulder bash!
It also has increased stagger
Good to know, I thought it might have been something that was patched 😂
You can actually shoot the cage doors open with your bow. Aim for the lock. It makes it so easy when theres a bear in an area, and you can shoot the cage open with the bow.
damn, i tried to shoot the cages open once but failed, ill try it again now that i know it needs to be a specific spot on the cage
@@Canarey_Zealous yeah man, aim for the metal lock on the door. It'll come right open
@@Canarey_Zealous i love doing it. I free a captive bear and also the Mongols are like "YO WHAT THE FUCK" Lmaooo

The hold attack thing is one you unlock as a skill. Learnt a lot of new things in this video though! It was very helpful with my playstyle
Thanks! And yeah good point I forgot holding light attack was linked to a skill 😂
For busting cages open, I was able to shoot one open with just one shot from the halfbow. No need to go all the way up just to smack it :)
Yeah, it really comes in handy for when you want to release a bear to attack the Mongols, because you can shoot the lock off from a distance and not have to risk getting attacked yourself.
@@RInger2875 did you hack my computer because that's exactly what I did yesterday 🤣
Oh good tip! 👍
It also works on bird cages, explosive arrows and black powder bombs do as well
2:24 is called delayed strike and is the 4th skill in the evasion branch. And no, the result is not the same (2:47), since delayed strike deals extra melee and stagger damage. Good tip though! 👍
3:32 RIP Pop Smoke
At 3:00 the hold and release light attack is a skill you unlock in the technique tree and the released spin attack does extra stagger damage
Sneaking up to enemies on high up places and doing the Typhoon Kick is so damn satisfying...archers off the towers, people off/over cliffs and walls.
Wow, so many things I didn't know, awesome
Glad you could pick up some new tips, Norma!
using r2 as an attack button should be a crime

Just bought this game. It’s insane people with heavy armour sink that’s cool

6:52 thought you’d be running the dlc’s tadayori skin! 😂
My tadayori skin is the dlc one, love the armour from
Oh yeah I love that one, too 😁 Just wanted to try something else for a bit while I was getting clips for this video.
As always, top vid. Nice one mate. You deserve more subs.
Thank you! I appreciate it 🙏🏼
All your videos are awesome man thx for all the tips…they really helped to master this game.

Great vid as always. Thanks for the shoutout.
Of course! Thanks for your help checking those things!
just look at their feet when you’re in standoff its so easy
exactly what i do as well. Brilliant tip friend🤘
Often u can't see their feet. I just look at my character so I won't fall for their faints.
I look at the empty space in-between them
none of you are samurai. watch the body, steel your mind. attack when right
@@DuragDaddy23wrong, we're all samurai here
How are you still not at 100k subs blows my mind, you definitely get to 100k this year
Hey thanks! I hope to pass that milestone soon 😁 Appreciate your support 🙏

Regarding the Ikki Island dlc, does anyone know what the best time to start it is? I was gonna start it as soon as I got it because it seemed as though the developers wanted me to play it at the start of the 2nd act because it was located on the second part of the game, but apparently it has some spoilers if you haven't almost finished the second act. Anyone know when is best to start it?
I discussed it in my Essential Tips video. Was there something you were still wondering about?
Well for the best story immersion, you can start after you completed the main island.
Nonetheless i highly recommend for you to go Iki ASAP as you can get OP items and skills once you get there 😁
Thanks for the help. I don't have anything else to say.
Thanks. I'll go there as soon as I get the dlc, but I'll still do some progress on side and mythic tales.
That was a DLC ??😂 I bought the game from Steam, and the DLC comes with the main game, and I have a question : Why in Steam the game named Ghost of Tsushima Director's cut ? In Playstation, it's only Ghost of Tsushima
How did you get the “standoff” to just be a touch than holding the “up” button?!
idk if this is a bug or intended, but if I hold the parry button and light attack while holding it, my jin is doing his light attack while parrying at the same time, in other words my attack parries the weapon of the enemy and deals dmg at the same time (not talking about perfect block)
GamebreakerGod was actually the first person I seen to do crazy combos in this game. Awesome video though!!
5:29 you can also use the shoulder charge to burst open the cage
Wsg! thanks for your best builds video that immortal ghost one is op
Hey! Glad you like it. Thanks!
Wooops. I spoiled a loot. Was good to know tho! Tnx for the video
Once I'm back from my trip I'll do whole run on new game + hardest difficulty I felt like game was awesome and I kinda cheesed my way through it on normal difficulty.
0:08 but it's not that challenging.

You can also use the wind chime to locate where the enemies are if you can't find them
If you have any tips for Legend mode that would be really helpful cause I am playing Legends mode more than story xD

unlimited heavenly strike for sure 😂
Brilliant
You can also shoot off the prison door locks if you hit it right on the silver square.
Even without any of these tricks, Jin is already pretty OP when you unlock all the tools/skills. I'm only halfway through the game so far but I hope the enemies get more challenging, especially the Iki expansion.
Trust me, the enemies on iki are way harder to beat
i only caught on to archers dropping arrows. man, your ghost of tsushima vids are unparalleled
Thank you! Glad you like them 😁
The concentration style points was fire tho 😂😂😂
Closer the better man
Can you please tell me what armor is that?
Is there any community for ghost if tsushina legends where you can play with other? I don't have friends so i cant play 😐
The press release is a skill tree thing its the hold light attack skill
2:34 you need an upgrade for that
04:45 bro rly said dunk on the mongols💀
how did you get that purple on your armor where did you find it??
It's the black dye on the Sarugami armor.

To make standoffs easier, just watch their feet. If they move forwards, attack
I have 380 hours on this game. Why have I not seen these yet? I’m disappointed.
You should have posted this 3 years ago, hahaha. But anyway Thanks for this video. Keep up the good work
I’m doing Ghost of Tsushima videos now because the PC port just launched.
how to run horse fast
the press and release trick is actually the delayed attack upgrade🤪
Wow, how could you shoot three arrows ?
Travel to iki island and complete all deer activities, it will give you a charm for it
@sheldonalexander9250 Thank you. I got this charm
Ok cool I knew it but WHO TF USES R2 AS ATTACK!?
lol. I’m just used it to from other games.
me watching this knowing i don't even have the game 😂
But standoffs are already easy AF ? I guess I'll take the new info tho
delay attack is in the upgradable technique list bruh @_@ not a trick
When making these videos, maybe you should switch the inputs back to default.
I hate this game, they shields ain’t breaking fast enough and theres basically nothing i can do to spear enemies
you should try the different stances for each type of enemy
Just Use The Right Stand . Then Hold Down Triangle Button 😅
For Spear Attack . You Can Jump Before Enemy Attack 👍 Or You Can Perfect Dodge 😅
Those are just exploits.
the game is already so easy i dont understand how people need to use these things in a singleplyer games
you literally fighting bots/npcs whatever u wanna call it
