Key Takeaways
- A trick using the black powder bomb in Ghost of Tsushima can prevent Jin Sakai from dying from high falls.
- Fans eagerly await news on the possible development of a Ghost of Tsushima sequel.
A helpful Ghost of Tsushima player has found a nifty trick that allows Jin Sakai to fall from great heights and not succumb to death by using the black powder bomb weapon. Launching in 2020, Ghost of Tsushima captured the gaming world’s attention with its stunning rendition of Tsushima Island. The game features a heartfelt and perilous narrative centered on Jin Sakai’s quest to not only rid the Japanese island of invading forces from the Mongol Empire, but also to find closure after the death of his father, Kazumasa Sakai.
Developer Sucker Punch continued to expand the franchise with the Iki Island DLC and PC port, and this has left fans even more eager for a direct Ghost of Tsushima sequel. Even though some Ghost of Tsushima players were frustrated at the PC port on Steam, the open-world title was a huge triumph on PlayStation, selling more than 9.73 million copies by July 2022.
In an attempt to help other Ghost of Tsushima players, Redditor kusoboke posted an awesome trick they discovered that allows protagonist Jin Sakai to survive an almost certain death when he falls from great heights by using a black powder bomb. By throwing the bomb first, right before Jin falls, the blast from it seems to cushion his death plunge before he hits the ground. In the game, the black powder bomb is used primarily as a weapon against enemies, and when thrown, it produces an explosion that allows Jin to perform an execution move on enemies who haven’t recovered from its blast. Even though there is another way in Ghost of Tsushima to avoid fall damage by unlocking the Safe Landing Skill, this feature doesn’t prevent death from the highest of falls and only allows Jin to roll.
Ghost of Tsushima Player Finds Cool Trick to Prevent Death From Falling
With so many beautiful hyperrealistic environments to get lost in and gaze upon, it’s little wonder why some players end up accidentally falling off cliffs in Ghost of Tsushima’s breathtaking in-game locations. There’s a reason why Sucker Punch included a photo mode in this game, and while the graphics are amazing throughout, the giant mountains, deep valleys, and crystal clear lakes are a photographer’s dream world to explore.
As players wait for news from Sucker Punch regarding a continuation of the franchise, a well-known entertainment industry insider has reportedly claimed that Ghost of Tsushima 2 is in development, meaning that a sequel could very well be on the horizon.
