00:59Introduction to Mongol War

01:07The beginning of this game will always be something truly special.

01:10From the start, we're thrown into a battle between Lord Shimura's small samurai army

01:14and the massive Mongol forces led by Khotun Khan.

01:17When one of Tsushima's general is struck down, the samurai charge knowing that it may

01:21be their end.

01:23As the battle rages, Jin and his uncle find themselves among the last standing, until

01:27Mongol artillery blasts them apart.

01:30Jin survives but wakes up separated from Lord Shimura, who's gone missing.

01:34Saved by Yuna, Jin sneaks through enemy ranks, recovers his armor and sword, and fights his

01:39way toward the Khan, only to lose their first encounter.

01:43This sets the stage for Jin's journey to rescue his uncle and save Tsushima.

01:47The weight of the situation hits hard, capped off by one of the most iconic title card reveals

01:52ever.

01:53Tsushima needs saving and we're right there with Jin every step of the way.

02:09Jin vs Ryuzo

02:19With friends like these, who needs enemies?

02:22Ryuzo is the leader of the Straw Hats.

02:24No, not those Straw Hats.

02:25They're a group of ronin warriors who aren't doing so great by the time our hero Jin Sakai

02:30meets up with them.

02:31Their numbers are wearing thin and they need food.

02:33And even though Jin goes out of his way to help in exchange for their assistance to rescue

02:37his uncle, Ryuzo in the end still chooses to take the side of the main antagonist Khotun

02:42Khan out of desperation.

02:44What follows after missions of reminiscing about the past between old friends and their

02:49friendly rivalry turns into a bitter clash of swords.

02:52You can really see how conflicted Jin is with this betrayal, practically begging his friend

02:57to do the right thing, but it did no good whatsoever.

03:00They eventually fight a second time where Jin decides to end the life of his friend

03:04with his own blade.

03:06Talk about tragic.

03:08Open the Gate

03:14This was definitely a tough one to watch.

03:17After his betrayal of the people of Tsushima, Ryuzo leads Khotun Khan and his men to Shimura

03:22Castle.

03:23The Khan demands the gates be opened, leveraging innocent prisoners in the process.

03:28Despite this, the people of Shimura Castle seem to be a bit reluctant to obey the commands.

03:32That's when the Khan passes his torch to Ryuzo, telling him to earn the food for his

03:37men.

03:38Not long after, one of the prisoners screams and begs for the gates to be opened as Ryuzo

03:43slowly makes his way over.

03:45With the people of Shimura Castle still not budging, Ryuzo regrettably sets the prisoner

03:49on fire, making his way over to burn the second prisoner before breaking entirely, letting

03:54out a bone-chilling scream to open the gates.

04:05It was truly a disturbing scene to watch, even with our knowledge of Ryuzo betraying

04:09Jin and all of Tsushima.

04:11It just goes to show the lengths the Khan will go through to get what he wants and the

04:15lengths someone else might go through when they truly have no choice left for survival.

04:21Saving Lord Shimura

04:27This was undoubtedly one of the moments where we felt the tide turn in the Mongol War.

04:31By this time in the game, Jin has received the help of many with the likes of Yuna and

04:35her blacksmith brother Taka, Lady Masako, and Master Archer Sensei Ishikawa ready to

04:41join his side to help free his uncle.

04:43What follows is a mission to take back the castle that Jin's uncle is currently being

04:47held in.

04:48With the help of Taka's newly made hook, the support of Yuna, the expert skills of

04:52Lady Masako and Sensei Ishikawa, and right after a battle with a former friend, Jin makes

04:57his way over to where his uncle is being held and is finally able to free him.

05:01It's an epic moment as you finally use the skills you've learned up until then to reunite

05:05with Jin's uncle.

05:07Little do we know, this is where the drama starts getting a bit spicy.

05:15Poisoning the Mongols

05:23Along his journey, Jin reunites with his old caretaker, Yuriko, who teaches him how to

05:27make poison darts to use against the Mongols.

05:30Later, when they reach Castle Shimura, Jin's uncle plans a direct assault, risking heavy

05:35losses for Tsushima.

05:36But Jin and Yuna have a different idea, using poison to catch the Mongols off guard.

05:41In a tense, stealthy mission, Jin sneaks through Mongol guards and poisons their fermented

05:45milk supply with Yuriko's methods.

05:48It's a risky move that puts him at odds with his uncle, marking this to be one of his most

05:52dishonorable choices by samurai standards.

05:55But while unconventional, we can't deny that his methods definitely put the Mongols on

06:00notice.

06:01Taka's Death

06:10When Jin arrives to confront the traitor Ryuzo in a duel, he's ambushed by the straw hat

06:14Ronin and taken captive.

06:16When he doesn't return, Taka goes searching and ends up captured as well.

06:20With both men imprisoned, Koten-Kan appears, offering them milk and pressuring Jin to surrender

06:25his people.

06:26Jin refuses and the Kan releases Taka, giving him a blade with the twisted option to take

06:31Jin's life.

06:32Instead, Taka bravely tries to strike the Kan and is beheaded for his courage.

06:37It's a heartbreaking scene, as Taka had just begun to find his own bravery.

06:41His last words to Jin and Jin's devastated reaction make this one of the most emotional

06:46moments in the game.

06:49Ghost Dance

06:53In the mission Ghost of Yarikawa, Jin, Yuna, and Taka fight to protect Yarikawa's stronghold

06:59from waves of Mongol attackers.

07:01Jin has to cut down enemies and take out Mongol artillery to help turn the tide.

07:06Afterwards, he faces a tough boss fight against General Temuge.

07:09When Jin wins, he's given the choice to slaughter the general, a move that terrifies the nearby

07:14enemies and unlocks the powerful Ghost Dance.

07:18Entering this stance lets Jin perform instant kills on frightened enemies, making it a defining

07:23intense moment that cements him as a force to be feared and brings him closer to embracing

07:28his role as the Ghost of Tsushima.

07:37Final Fight Against Khotun Khan

07:50This is the showdown everyone was waiting for.

07:53After Jin's falling out with his uncle, he faces judgment for dishonoring the samurai

07:57name.

07:58Luckily, with Yuna and Kenji's help, he manages to escape.

08:01The journey back is brutal, costing him his horse, but Jin presses on.

08:06With grit and careful planning, he finally tracks down Khotun Khan just as he's about

08:10to set sail.

08:12Despite all the Khan's dirty tricks and assistance from his men, Jin is finally able to take

08:16him down, putting an end to his ruthless reign.

08:19It's a huge victory that's been a long time coming, achieved through Jin's willpower and

08:24the support of Tsushima's warriors.

08:26This however, is far from the biggest challenge that Jin will have to face.

08:38Becoming the Ghost

08:45This was really the moment that Jin embraced the title that was bestowed upon him.

08:50Remember the mission where Jin poisons the Mongols' fermented milk?

08:53Well, his uncle wasn't thrilled.

08:55Lord Shimura wanted to stick to the samurai code, fighting honorably even though it would

08:59mean heavy losses for Tsushima.

09:01Jin tries to convince him that to defeat the Mongols, they need to fight just as ruthlessly.

09:06But his uncle refuses to see it that way.

09:09This is when Jin realizes the samurai way won't save his people.

09:13The way of the Ghost will.

09:14Finally embracing this path, he defies his uncle's ideals and commits to doing whatever

09:19it takes.

09:20It was really a conflicting moment, especially after all the effort put into saving his uncle.

09:24But sometimes, you have to do what's necessary when your home is at stake.

09:34Fighting Lord Shimura

09:44After Jin finally takes down the Khan and the Mongols, his uncle Lord Shimura makes

09:48one last attempt to bring Jin back to the samurai way.

09:51By the Shogun's order, Jin's uncle is forced to carry out Jin's execution.

09:56What follows is an emotional last exchange between them, including a haiku in the very

10:01spot where Lord Shimura once trained Jin.

10:04The two clash in a heart-wrenching duel, with Jin emerging as the victor.

10:08In the end, you can choose to give his uncle an honorable death or fully embrace the path

10:13of the Ghost by sparing him, at the cost of being hunted forever.

10:17Sucker Punch never misses when it comes to tugging at our heartstrings, and this moment

10:21is no exception.
