Whereas Ghost of Yotei could be very a lot a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, there are some key methods during which it differentiates itself, with a significant one being outstanding companions all through the sport. Atsu most frequently wanders Yotei‘s gorgeous Ezo alone, however sure circumstances present her with a accomplice, who is commonly an lively participant in fight.
[Warning: Minor spoilers for Ghost of Yotei.]
Ghost of Yotei‘s companions should not typical companions, nevertheless. You’ve got solely slight management over when one in all them will be a part of you, and the others’ appearances are completely dictated by the sport. There may be additionally a reasonably large group of gamers that may loosely be thought of companions, which may even be coated beneath.
How To Get The Wolf Companion In Ghost Of Yotei
Look Out For Wolf Dens
Probably the most outstanding companion in Ghost of Yotei is a wolf that’s by itself mission towards the Yotei Six’s forces. In an try and tame Ezo, Lord Saito’s footsoldiers are quelling the wolf inhabitants, and this wolf actively recruits Atsu for assist. To start your relationship with the wolf, all it’s a must to do is discover a Wolf Den, of which there are 10 scattered all through Yotei‘s fairly large map.
The best one to get to if you first begin Ghost of Yotei is known as Nice Mountain Wolf Den, and it is positioned west of Yotei’s Shadow Inn within the Yotei Grasslands. In the event you discuss to NPCs in any area, they are going to finally point out listening to or seeing wolves, and the placement will likely be added to your map. While you arrive at a Wolf Den, you may begin a quest during which you comply with the wolf to others which might be in want – you simply must eradicate the enemies and unlock any cages within the camp.
Finishing one Wolf Den primarily unlocks a brand new ability tree that you just progress by way of by finishing subsequent Wolf Dens. There isn’t a solution to make the wolf a everlasting companion, although you’ll finally unlock a tune that may summon the wolf to sure areas. The wolf can seem randomly in a couple of completely different conditions, and finishing extra Wolf Dens ensures it exhibits up extra incessantly.
2 Characters Are Common Companions In The Major Story
Oyuki & Jubei
I’ll keep away from spoilers right here, solely pertaining to the broad strokes, as a result of each of those companion characters are main elements in Ghost of Yotei‘s story. First is Oyuki, who you’ll encounter in Teshio Ridge throughout your hunt for the Kitsune, a member of the Yotei Six. The opposite is Jubei, who you’ll meet in Ishikari Plain whereas breaking the yoke of the Oni.
Each of those characters function mechanically just like the wolf companion. You can not merely select once they accompany you; they’re solely current for sure missions. They primarily present a distraction in fight, taking the warmth off of Atsu and killing a couple of enemies, however are additionally useful with stealth, assassinating enemies concurrently with Atsu.
You Can (Form Of) Recruit A Bear & Different NPCs
The Wolf Pack
The remainder of Yotei‘s companions stretch the definition of the phrase even additional than those above. Most entertaining is a bear named Shino which you could befriend. Yow will discover him in Tokachi Vary, at a location referred to as Prospector’s Camp alongside the Nupur River simply outdoors Serpent’s Cross. The map above exhibits the place to search out the Prospector’s Camp.
You will meet a person who retains Shino as a pet, and a brief quest will stem from chatting with him. When you end the hunt, make sure to feed Shino fish from a close-by basket. Feed him twice, after which comply with him, as he’ll lead you to a Weapon Package referred to as Toku’s Untamed Loyalty. I am uncertain if there may be any solution to set off additional interactions with Shino. A bear appeared to struggle alongside the wolf whereas I used to be clearing out a camp as soon as, however disappeared rapidly, and I have not had one other such interplay. Please let me know within the feedback beneath when you’ve got any extra perception.
Apart from that, there may be all kinds of characters who tag alongside on Atsu’s quest, collectively referred to as the Wolf Pack. These embrace the masters who prepare Atsu if you get new weapons and lots of the retailers you’ll repeatedly see all through Ezo. It is powerful to name these precise companions, however they’ll go to if you make camp, and you may make camp to explicitly summon them once they have upgrades or new objects accessible for you.
In any other case, Atsu and her ever-present horse journey by way of Ezo largely alone. Ghost of Yotei provides some companions into the combination, however they’re fleeting.
