Ghost of Tsushima [Lore-Consistent Playthrough/No Commentary] — Ghosts in the Fog | Ep.21

Returning to Akashima Temple to assist Norio, Jin Sakai reflects on how the horrors of Komoda Beach fundamentally changed him. Initiating "Three Actions, Three Illusions." Tracking the kidnappers to a coastal Mongol supply camp, Jin and Norio rescue Hochi. They discover that the Mongol forces in Kamiagata fell ill and specifically targeted Hochi to heal them, revealing that Cedar Temple has fallen. Rejecting Hochi's self-sacrificial compliance, Jin and Norio escort him back to Akashima Temple while Jin unlocks advanced combat techniques. Following a tense debate at the temple between Norio's readiness for violence and Hochi's pacifism, the mission "Ghosts in the Fog" begins as Mongol forces launch a night assault. Utilizing modified incense burners filled with black powder to generate blinding smoke, Jin displays masterclass stealth across temple rooftops, executing terrifying multi-kills using the newly unlocked Chain Assassination. Despite their swift defense, Jin arrives at the sanctuary just too late to help Norio and save Hochi from falling in the crossfire. The episode concludes with a solemn funeral at Akashima Temple, followed by Jin upgrading his Long Bow and his Tanto to pierce through tougher Mongol armor in Toyotama. ══════════════════════════════════════ ⚔️ WHAT IS A "LORE-CONSISTENT" PLAYTHROUGH?
