Found in
- Castle ShimuraCastle Shimura is the seat of Clan Shimura in Toyotama and the biggest battle of Act 2. Khotun Khan holds it after the invasion, and you retake it in The Fate of Tsushima alongside every ally you have gathered.
- Lord Shimura's CampLord Shimura's Camp is the samurai war camp in Kubara where your uncle gathers his army to retake Castle Shimura. You meet your allies here before A Reckoning in Blood and The Fate of Tsushima.
- ToyotamaToyotama is the central region of Tsushima, between Izuhara and Kamiagata. Act 2 plays out here: you rally allies, liberate Yarikawa and march on Castle Shimura, while side tales for Norio, Yuna and Yuriko open up.
Good to know
- Act 2: Retake Castle Shimura. It follows A Reckoning in Blood.
- It starts at Lord Shimura's Camp in Kubara, Toyotama.
- The game warns you it's a long tale before it starts.
- You can't fast travel back to Izuhara or Toyotama until Wolves at the Gates is finished.
- Lord Oga leads the shogun's samurai who answered the message Goro carried.
- Before confirming you can talk to four allies: Kenji, Lady Masako, Norio and Sensei Ishikawa.
Before you start
Lord Oga waits outside the camp gate and asks you to confirm the long tale. Back out of that prompt first if you have tales, upgrades or shopping left to do. Talk to your allies and Yuna, then return to Oga and confirm.
What you do
Ride with Oga to meet Lord Shimura at the watchtower and beat back the first Mongol force. Scout ahead by climbing the ladder on the left onto the bridge. Then push toward a tower where hwacha crews are pinning your army down.
The hwacha tower
Run along the left side straight to the tower and let your allies handle most of the swordsmen. Climb up, kill the two hwacha operators and turn the weapon on the enemies blocking your army. Then drive the Mongols across the bridge, climb the gatehouse ladder and hit the explosives cart with a fire arrow.
Tips
Watch for the white circles on the ground: that's where hwacha rockets land. Keep moving and dodge out of them, since a full volley does heavy damage.
Jin SakaiJin Sakai is the samurai you play in Ghost of Tsushima and the Iki Island expansion. He is Lord Shimura's nephew and the last lord of Clan Sakai. After the Mongol landing he trades the samurai code for stealth and fear, and the people start calling him the Ghost.- KenjiKenji is a sake seller and small-time swindler who keeps dragging Jin into his schemes. He smuggles Jin and Yuna into Azamo Bay to free Taka, then pops up with his own three-part Kenji's Tales. In the Iki Island expansion his trouble with a smuggler is how Jin gets to Iki.
