10 INFURIATING Mini Games That Cost You 100%

Whenever players aren’t fighting the invading Mongolian forces in Ghosts Of Tsushima, they can explore the beautiful island to discover the extra challenges scattered throughout its luscious scenery. 

Throughout their travels, players follow adorable foxes to hidden shrines, bathe in hot springs, compose elegant haikus whilst absorbing their tranquil surroundings.

One less relaxing inclusion that players can engage with is the bamboo strike mini game. Scattered throughout each of the island's main regions, this activity requires players to cleanly slice through bamboo by memorising and then quickly inputting button prompts that appear onscreen.

Somewhere between a memory and rhythm game, completing these challenges is no easy task. They require a keen level of dexterity and accuracy to enter the button combination in the small window of time that players are given, with the challenge intensifying as the number of presses increase from three to seven.

Though difficult, tackling these challenges are worth the effort they take. Completing each of the 16 bamboo strikes will increase Jin's resolve, which makes the tougher fights more manageable. 

Mastering all bamboo strikes is also required to achieve the Mind, Body, and Spirit trophy.
