- Mongol Fortresses: Larger, more challenging strongholds that require a significant assault to liberate.
- Guerrilla Actions: Smaller skirmishes and ambushes that contribute to weakening Mongol control in an area.
- Hot Springs: While not directly combat-related, liberating Hot Springs contributes to your overall progress in a region.
- Bamboo Strikes: Similar to Hot Springs, these are exploration-focused objectives that aid in region completion.
- Shinto Shrines: These offer combat challenges and rewards, and their liberation is part of the overall map completion.
Strategies for Efficient Liberation
- Focus on One Region at a Time: While you can move freely between regions, it's often more efficient to focus on fully liberating one region before moving to the next. This allows you to gain experience and resources that will help you in subsequent areas.
- Utilize Your Map: The game's map is your best friend. It clearly shows which objectives are available in each region. Look for the icons indicating camps, villages, and other points of interest.
- Prioritize Camps and Villages: These are the most significant liberation objectives and contribute the most to pushing back the invaders.
- Use Stealth to Your Advantage: Many camps can be approached with stealth, allowing you to thin enemy numbers before engaging in direct combat. This makes clearing them much easier.
- Complete Side Tales: Many side tales are located within occupied territories and will contribute to their liberation upon completion.
- Don't Neglect Other Activities: While camps and villages are key, don't forget about Hot Springs, Bamboo Strikes, and Shinto Shrines. They contribute to your overall progress and provide valuable rewards.
By systematically clearing out Mongol presence and engaging with all the activities the game offers, you will undoubtedly achieve "A Fight for the Isle" and play a pivotal role in the liberation of Tsushima.
