Ghost Of Tsushima: 12 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

9. Feather L1 For Easy Parries

Many people are having trouble with Tsushima's parry system, and there are things you can do to make everything easier.

First off, forget about prodding L1 when an attack is coming in. Instead, hold L1 at all times, then quickly let go and re-hold it when an enemy starts an attack. You can do this mid-enemy combo, so block the first incoming hit, let go and re-hold L1, and Jin will parry the next strike automatically.

If you want even more help, travel to the Spring Falls Shrine in Act 1, grab the Charm of Mizu-no-Kami and the window for parrying will be made much bigger.
