Jin Sakai (The Ghost)
Jin Sakai is the protagonist of Ghost of Tsushima, a dedicated samurai and nephew of Lord Shimura, who must forsake his honorable code to become the mythical Ghost of Tsushima. His journey involves mastering combat, exploring the island, and acquiring various tools and techniques to fight the Mongol invasion. Jin's story is divided into three acts, with main quests marked as 'Jin's Journey'.
Jin's early quests after the Prologue serve as tutorials, teaching combat mechanics and providing Technique points for character progression. It is advised not to delay Mythic Tales, especially "The Heavenly Strike," as it unlocks a useful ability. Jin's Legend Rank increases by liberating camps, saving civilians, and completing quests, which in turn unlocks Ghost Weapons.
Jin's Journey Act I (Main Missions):
- The Tale of Sensei Ishikawa
- The Tale of Lady Masako
- The Warrior's Code
- Blood on the Grass
- The Tale of Ryuzo
- The Broken Blacksmith
- Hammer and Forge
- The Iron Hook
- Shadow of the Samurai
Jin's arsenal includes six Ghost Weapons: Kunai, Black Powder Bomb, Sticky Bomb, Wind Chime, and Firecracker. The Firecracker is located under the Wind Chimes menu and requires 1 Technique Point to unlock. Many prominent items, such as the Ghost Armor, are tied to story progression, while others can be found through exploration.
