The Tale of Uchitsune

The Tale of Uchitsune is the fourth story mission of Ghost of Tsushima: Legends. It revolves around freeing an archer of great power named Uchitsune from Iyo, who is feeding off his spirit.


Game Mechanic – Spirit Bow

The Spirit Bow is another method for dealing with attuned enemies. Shooting an attuned enemy with the bow will temporarily disable the attunement buff while also immobilizing smaller enemies. Shooting the same enemy again while they are temporarily disabled will remove the attunement entirely. In easier difficulties, this can be done by a single player. In harder difficulties, a second player or Uchitsune himself will be needed for the second shot since the bows effects do not last as long.

The Spirit Bow is also used to shoot attunement circles. Two shots from the bow are required to activate the circle. Circles are more prevalent in the raids and have varying results once activated.


The ghosts set out to free Uchitsune. Iyo has enslaved and tortured him due to her fears of his skills that rivaled her own. The ghosts begin at his dojo to find both a spirit Uchitsune and a bow blessed by the kami. Using the bow to remove the kami protections from the Mongols, they clear the dojo of enemies and continue on to Hioyoshi Springs to look for a way to end the onibaba’s curse.
