A New Horizon Ghost of Tsushima Tale

Group: Act 2 - Retake Castle Shimura

Location: Toyotama

This is the first tale of the second act. It will start as soon as the "Shadow of the Samurai" tale is completed. You won't be able to use the fast-travel option until you complete it.

With Lord Shimura freed, we can take the fight to the Mongols and reclaim Castle Shimura, the strategic heart of Tsushima Island that has recently fallen to Khotun Khan.

My uncle and I will ride ahead to scout the battlefield. Together, we will plot our moves to reclaim Castle Shimura - and our home.
