Izuhara Bamboo Strike locations Image: Sucker Punch/Sony Interactive Entertainment via Polygon In this Polygon guide, we’ll show you where to find each Bamboo Strike in Ghost of Tsushima with maps to each region and prefecture. Finding all of the Bamboo Strikes is also a requirement for the Body, Mind, and Spirit Trophy. By completing these simple memory puzzles, your character can increase the amount of Resolve they have available. Tsushima has 16 scattered across its three regions. The quickest way to do that is to find Bamboo Strikes hidden across the island. The best way to keep your options open is to permanently raise your Resolve. Each use of a combat or life-granting skill takes one or more pieces of Resolve from the amount you have available. In order to stay effective - and alive - in combat you’ll need plenty of this limited resource. This completes this Unwritten Tale.Abilities and healing in Ghost of Tsushima both pull from the same resource: your Resolve. It says: 'If man is to heal, so must the land.' Jin's duty is fulfilled and he is able to move on. Go back to the house, and you'll notice Supplies and a Scroll left on a large tree stump. Initiate a stand-off and take them down: with fully upgraded Sakai Armor and the right Standoff Techniques, you can down five of them! Once complete, you will hear Kodama laugh and Jin asking if he has fulfilled his duty. Follow the drum beat to encounter a group of six Mongols. Follower her and look for the purple-flowering Wisteria trees up the hill. She will ask you for help - and offer redemption.

Your family has history here - your father burned this house down. Interact with it by pressing R2 and Kodama will speak to you.

As you approach, you will notice a flag outside the house. You'll find a burned house near a Fuji/Wisteria forest. It's also close to the Zasho River Archery Challenge. This Unwritten Tale is started at a house, North of Senjo Gorge and East of Lake Nagata.
