Empty Baskets: A Tale of Generosity in Izuhara

The "Empty Baskets" trophy is a heartwarming achievement tied to one of the Tales of Tsushima in the Izuhara region. It requires you to help a struggling merchant by ensuring their baskets are filled with goods. This involves a bit of foraging and a demonstration of Jin's compassion, rewarding players with a sense of accomplishment and a trophy.

To earn the "Empty Baskets" trophy, you must complete the Tale of Tsushima titled "The Scavenger's Wife." This side quest is located in the Izuhara region, specifically in the northern part of the island, near the coast. You'll encounter a woman who is trying to gather supplies for her ailing husband but is struggling to find enough. Your task is to help her collect the necessary items.

Here's how to complete the quest and earn the trophy:

  1. Locate the Quest Giver: Travel to the northern coast of Izuhara. You'll find a woman near a small, dilapidated hut, looking distressed. Speak with her to begin "The Scavenger's Wife."
  2. Understand the Goal: The woman explains that she needs specific items to help her husband, who is suffering from a mysterious illness. She has some empty baskets that need to be filled.
  3. Gather the Required Items: The quest will direct you to several locations where you can find the items she needs. These typically include:
    • Mushrooms: Often found in shaded, wooded areas.
    • Herbs: Usually found growing in fields or near rocky outcrops.
    • Fish: You may need to hunt for fish near the coast or in rivers.
  4. Return to the Woman: Once you have collected all the necessary items, return to the quest giver. She will express her gratitude as you fill her baskets.
  5. Receive Your Reward: Upon completion of the quest, you will be rewarded with Ghost Flowers, Resolve, and the "Empty Baskets" trophy.

Tips for Gathering:

  • Use Eagle Vision: Activate Jin's Eagle Vision (press R3) to highlight gatherable items in your surroundings. This makes finding mushrooms and herbs much easier.
  • Explore Thoroughly: The items are usually located within a reasonable radius of the quest giver's hut. Explore the surrounding forests, fields, and coastline carefully.
  • Listen for Cues: Sometimes, the game will provide subtle audio cues when you are near a gatherable item.

The "Empty Baskets" trophy is a straightforward achievement that emphasizes the compassionate side of Jin's journey. By helping this woman, you not only earn a trophy but also contribute to the well-being of the people of Tsushima.
