Ghostwire: Tokyo Ghostwire: Tokyo is now on sale, and there are a few brief tips to get started quickly. From exploration tips to battle pointers, I hope the following introduction will help you become ghost hunters soon.
Work vertically
Ghostwire's city of Tokyo combines traditional architecture with modern aerial silhouettes, and the eye-catching landscape is worth exploring away from the ground and up to the rooftop. Grab a few tengus and take a breath from a high place, use your ethereal gliding skills to quickly reach your destination, discover hidden secrets, and even gain high ground to attack the enemy without warning.
Driving a dog and cat
Although the mass disappearances in Tokyo have taken away most of the city's population, a very small number have survived, including some local furry children. Use your abilities to read the minds of cats and dogs, some of which have tasks to be completed. Stock up on some pet food and entertain them when you get the chance! After all, who is willing to refuse that cute face?
Speaking of animals, keep an eye out for cat forks, which is a reminder that there are hidden collections nearby. They can also give you "incense" that you can use to buy useful consumables in the store, and guide you to explore the secrets of the world.
Absorb the soul
The disappearances in Tokyo have left some wandering spirits stranded around the city. You can use Katashiro paper dolls to absorb these wandering spirits and prevent them from falling into the evil plans of Prajnaparamita's foreign party. After absorbing enough souls, notify the nearby phone booth and send them to a safe place, which will also buy you extra incense and experience points, which can be used to level up skills. Throughout the game, you'll also encounter more Katashiro dolls, allowing you to absorb more souls before putting them in the phone booth.
Leave the main line
Ghostwire: Tokyo's streets are rich and varied, and there's plenty to try and explore beyond the main story. Feel free to explore the city's collections, side quests, and monster activities lurking in the world. Side quests not only allow you to delve deeper into the game's world, but are also a great source for collecting souls and goblets (rare resources that can be used to unlock advanced areas of the skill tree).
Strategic
Strangers often attack in droves, and if you are surrounded, you are afraid of being outnumbered. Try to stay mobile and strategic when dealing with enemies to avoid putting yourself at a loss-of-control position, or gather them together and use your ethereal weaving skills to aim for explosive shots or large-scale water bursts to solve several enemies at once!
Accessories and equipment
Throughout the game, especially after purifying a specific shrine, you'll find equipable beads that increase some of your skills, ranging from reducing injury to improving ethereal weaving. Keep pushing forward and you'll be able to equip more beads at once, so it's best to try different combinations!
Take precautions
Defense is extremely effective in reducing enemy damage, and players who know how to grasp the timing of defense can also be rewarded for it. Perfect defense not only completely counteracts enemy attack damage, but also balances specific enemies or reflects specific projectiles back onto enemies!
Mixed offense and defense
Ethereal weaving isn't the only option you can take in battle! You can also use amulets to stun enemies within an effective range, summon "Spirit Bush" to stand in front of you as cover, or even pick up your bow and shoot enemies from a distance.
Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade again
Ghostwire: Tokyo offers three skill trees to help you find your own play style and evolve into the ultimate ghost hunter. If you prefer to sneak, focus on upgrading your bow, such as shortening the time it takes to draw the bow or speeding up your movement when crouching. If you prefer melee combat, it is recommended to unlock abilities such as close-range core grabbing or grabbing the core when the enemy falls, which will end the enemy with amazing efficiency.
There are also some very useful skills to unlock that can benefit from either play style, such as a shortened ethereal weaving recharge time, or the ability to summon a tengu to easily hook and hook onto the roof!
Ghost hunters need to replenish their food
Bringing food on your adventure is not only to replenish your nutrition, but also the main way to restore health during battle. Keep an eye out for snack spots scattered around the city, and remember to fill up the stock at the convenience store before heading into the next big battle. If you want to strengthen it further, you can eat a special "Hades Food", which will have a temporary buff effect. Also, it's safe to use some upgrades to expand your food reserves, which may not be the most luxurious way to fortify, but trust us, when the situation gets tricky, you'll be glad to have a lot of dumplings around you!
