The Benefit of All Beings
Unlocking "The Benefit of All Beings" requires you to find and liberate all the animal sanctuaries scattered across Iki Island. These serene locations offer a moment of peace amidst the conflict, and by tending to the animals, you contribute to the island's healing and earn a unique reward, symbolizing your commitment to its restoration.
The achievement "The Benefit of All Beings" is awarded for liberating all animal sanctuaries on Iki Island. These sanctuaries are special locations where you can interact with and calm various animals, such as cats, monkeys, and deer. There are a total of six animal sanctuaries to discover and interact with. Each sanctuary requires a specific musical performance from Jin to calm the animals. The type of animal at each sanctuary dictates the tune you must play. For instance, you'll play a different melody for the monkeys than you would for the deer. Successfully calming the animals at all six locations will grant you the "The Benefit of All Beings" trophy, along with a unique charm that enhances your stealth capabilities.
