Want to add a few things: 1. Enemies on fire cannot dodge, block or attack. Burning them first will allow you dispatch them quickly and with ease. Great against leaders or those new enemies from Iki Island. 2. Way of the Flame makes your attack unblockable. It will also increase your melee damage IF you wear an armor or charms that increase Ghost Weapon damage. Charm of the Blazing Flame from NG+ will only increase its burn damage, which is negligible. 3. Enemies will usually dodge after they managed to block your attack, but you can prevent this by using Heavenly Strike. This will also leave them vulnerable, long enough for you to land one light and one heavy attack. The tactic is especially devastating with Gosaku armor, since you can stagger boss immediately with Heavy > Heavenly Strike > Heavy combo. 4. Smoke Bomb 1st upgrade will allow you to perform Slaughter on enemy leader, even in the middle of combat. The normal prompt is Critical Strike, but if you went behind the leader and wait a few seconds, this prompt will change to Slaughter.

[@jmannUSMC]

It makes sense now why you bound your attack button to the triggers. I thought you were just crazy at first!

[@ArktixOfficial]

Haha yeah the animation canceling is easier with the melee alternate controls.

[@adarwinterdror7245]

I have light attacks on RB, but i didnt remap heavy attack to RT because i didnt know what button to assign to the modifier\interaction button. It needs to be a button i can easily add another stance button to mid-fight. Any ideas? Im playing on steam so if there is a recommended control scheme out there - what would you recommend? I am on NG+ so I expect it to be so hard changing habits, but am willing to try :)

[@noodleboi6630]

Also try to get water stance upgrades cuz it's heavy attack combo is very fast and somewhat an all rounder in my opinion.

[@rteewalkz2995]

Archers just go DOOSHOOO!!!

[@thatboyhan3872]

DOSHOO!!!! DOOSHOOOOOO!!!!!!! Also unrelated i made an insane sarugami armour build 1:Charm of muzi ni kami ( basically the one which increases your parry window) 2:charm of susanoo( increases stagger dmg) 3-4-5 slots all will use charm of bludgeoning ( increases stagger dmg and they stack as well) Last charm is your choice but i use cham of inaki which u get by honour shrine which incrase your health and melee dmg

[@stillbrian9448]

Personally, I don't care about what's optimal, I just take the weapon, clothes and stances etc. based on what's cool. So what if it makes the battles harder, I get to enjoy them more😄

[@Ali2969]

Sending my best regards for a fellow crazy player

[@greggtownsend6744]

Great video, Arktix...as usual! I'm really hoping you come out with an instructional video on how to destroy The Eagle without throwing your controller at the wall.

[@ArktixOfficial]

Thanks! I wasn’t planning on it, but that’s a good idea for a video 👍

[@absurdlybritish9541]

Great video! Those animation cancels look super cool, definitely trying those out on my next run. Though I'm like 90% sure you don't need the Observe Leader side objective in a camp to be able to get the observation point, a lot of leaders will be out and training without that objective being active, so you can get the double dip more often. Definitely remember doing this early game to get wind stance ASAP

[@Vic_The_Hitman]

It’s always somebody that comes along & shows me how much I suck when I think I’m good

[@RInger2875]

One thing I've never quite figured out, when you've got say, a brute enemy who's carrying one of those big-ass shields, are you supposed to fight him with the shield stance or the brute stance? Which takes precedence in a situation like that?

[@ArktixOfficial]

Good question. You should always use the brute stance on any brute. It doesn’t matter that they have a shield. The shield stance won’t do much good on them.

[@nathanielburns6692]

The shield stance 5 hit flurry attack is enough to break their guard so I use shield stance unless it's in a group where I should use the spin attack

[@RInger2875]

@@ArktixOfficial Thanks, good to know.

[@ryansilva9282]

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!!

[@ArktixOfficial]

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!

[@vincentydl527]

Just pickup this game few days ago and ur video pop up right away after i open youtube, earned a sub🎉 Thanx alot for the tips video!

[@VilnCZ]

Hi i rly love your guides for HFW and i would like to ask... in your vid for new weapons for Burning Shores 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

[@samuel_tee]

Great video Arktix! I found your channel looking for Horizon tips. I’m now playing Ghost of Tsushima and having a great time!

[@ArktixOfficial]

Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying Ghost of Tsushima!

[@spuppet4582]

GoT Mongol upward peripheral vision is nonexistent. Also you can slash a door behind or beside one and still not get noticed... its hilarious...

[@Makushimi]

I just saw in your video that you can put specific charm on each armor. I spend a lot of time changing charm depending on the armor I want to use. Could you tell me how to do that please ? Thanks

[@roshanmagar7446]

If I start a new game, will it affect my unlocked techniques, stances and etc......Or it will only impact on the story progress that I've completed.

[@phoenixflameknight]

What’s the max number for the Resolve?

[@hardmodefbl]

*Nice tips man, didn't know some of them exist, but then again I haven't played this game a lot to know most of it*

[@Death-jp5ep]

I like seals

[@PetrucciIbiza]

I wonder if you plan to make early game guide for this game?

[@Poja_0811]

Wait, why does your stance select "menu" looks like that? Looks cool

[@ArktixOfficial]

If you use the melee alternate control scheme it makes the stance UI look like that. Not really sure why, but yeah I like how it looks, too.

[@Poja_0811]
