Ghost of Tsushima has received a new update that repairs a Wind Shrine to the north of Iki Island. The reward for completing the puzzle of the Forbidden Shrine is an Aloy-inspired set of clothing/armor, which is the main protagonist of Guerrilla Games' Horizon series. For those that want to find the location of the Forbidden Shrine and figure out its mystery, this guide will help players out. However, it's worth noting that only players with the Iki Island expansion (or the Director's Cut of Ghost of Tsushima) will be able to access the Forbidden Shrine and reap the benefits.
Where is the Forbidden Shrine?
Ghost of Tsushima players can find the location of the Forbidden Shrine in the northern section of Iki Island, just northwest of Fort Sakai and north of Sly Hunter's Forest. If players have updated Ghost of Tsushima to its latest version, they should be able to open up the map and see the shrine. They can also fast travel to it to spend less time traveling to the area. When players get to the shrine, they'll spot a scroll right in front of the statue that reads: "The old world is gone, though life is never-ending. Focus your spirit, Take the archer's mantle. A seeker must aim for truth."
How to Complete Forbidden Shrine Puzzle
If players are wandering around the shrine, unable to figure out what to do next, here's what needs to be done.
- Players will need to equip Tadayori's Armor from the Gear section of the menu. (Players can acquire this armor set by completing the Mythic Tale in the base game called "The Legend of Tadayori")
- Press down on the touchpad on the middle of the controller to go into focused hearing mode.
- While in the mode, draw the bow and arrow and aim at the top of the structure to see it glow red --now, shoot it with the arrow once, and it will turn blue.
- Two other spots will appear on the back of the statue, so players just need to shoot those as well.
- Once that's done, the challenge has been completed and players will get two rewards.
Rewards for Completing the Forbidden Shrine
After figuring out the Shrine's secret, players will be rewarded with the "Sign of the Hunter" headband and the Seeker's Attire. And that's all there is to completing the Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West Easter egg in Ghost of Tsushima.
Ghost of Tsushima is available now for PS4 and PS5.
