Avid Reader: Unlocking Tsushima's Lore

To achieve the 'Avid Reader' trophy in Ghost of Tsushima, you'll need to discover and read every single scroll scattered across the island. These hidden texts offer invaluable insights into the lore, characters, and history of Tsushima, enriching your journey. Many are found in common locations, but some require a keen eye for detail and thorough exploration.

The 'Avid Reader' achievement requires you to find and read all 57 hidden scrolls scattered throughout Tsushima. These scrolls are crucial for understanding the world and its inhabitants, offering glimpses into the lives of those who lived and died during the Mongol invasion. While many are found in obvious locations like bandit camps and shrines, others are tucked away in more obscure spots, rewarding diligent exploration.

Where to Find the Scrolls

Scrolls are often found near points of interest, such as:

  • Shrines: Many shrines, particularly those off the beaten path, will have a scroll nearby.
  • Bandit Camps: Looting enemy encampments is a prime way to find scrolls. Look on tables, inside huts, and near their leaders.
  • Hot Springs: Relaxing in a hot spring often reveals a scroll in the vicinity.
  • Sake Dens: Similar to hot springs, these locations can yield scrolls.
  • Temples: Buddhist temples and other religious sites are common resting places for these historical documents.
  • Villages: Explore the nooks and crannies of inhabited areas.

Tips for Finding Scrolls

The game doesn't explicitly mark scrolls on your map until you are very close. Your best bet is to:

  1. Explore Thoroughly: Don't rush through areas. Take your time to investigate every building, cave, and clearing.
  2. Listen for Audio Cues: Sometimes, a subtle chime or visual shimmer will indicate a nearby collectible, though this is less common for scrolls than other items.
  3. Use the Wind: The guiding wind mechanic can sometimes point you towards points of interest, which may contain scrolls.
  4. Check Your Progress: Periodically check your Journal in the pause menu under 'Collectibles' to see how many scrolls you've found in each region. This helps you focus your search.

    5. The 'Avid Reader' trophy is a testament to your dedication to uncovering every piece of Tsushima's rich narrative. Happy hunting!
