Fit for the Khan
"Fit for the Khan" is a Tale of Tsushima side quest found in the Kamiagata region of Ghost of Tsushima. This quest often involves a desperate plea for help from a local craftsman or merchant who has been targeted by the Mongols, forcing Jin to intervene and protect them or their valuable goods.
This particular tale in Kamiagata highlights the economic and cultural impact of the Mongol invasion. You'll likely be tasked with defending a valuable caravan, a workshop, or a merchant from Mongol raids. Successfully completing this quest not only earns you rewards but also contributes to the liberation of the region by disrupting Mongol supply lines and protecting Tsushima's resources.
Quest Objectives and Progression:
The exact objectives can vary, but a common structure for "Fit for the Khan" involves:
- Receiving the Plea: You'll typically encounter an NPC in distress, often near a settlement or along a trade route, who explains their predicament. They might be a blacksmith whose forge is being threatened, a merchant whose goods are being plundered, or a craftsman whose skills are being exploited by the Mongols.
- Defending a Location/Caravan: Your primary task will be to defend a specific location or a moving caravan from waves of Mongol attackers. This can involve intense combat scenarios where you must protect the NPCs and their assets.
- Eliminating Mongol Threats: You'll need to defeat all the Mongol soldiers and potentially their leaders who are attempting to seize the target.
- Securing the Goods/Person: Once the Mongols are defeated, you'll need to ensure the safety of the person or the goods they were protecting.
Strategies for Success:
| Challenge | Strategy |
|---|---|
| Protecting NPCs | Prioritize keeping the quest giver alive. Use your abilities to draw enemy aggro away from them. Smoke bombs can be useful for creating breathing room. |
| Waves of Enemies | Be prepared for multiple waves of attackers. Utilize your combat stances effectively to counter different enemy types. |
| Defending a Caravan | Stay close to the caravan and engage enemies as they approach. Use explosive arrows or kunai to deal with groups. |
| Mongol Leaders | These tougher enemies often require precise parries and dodges. Focus on them once the regular soldiers are dealt with. |
