Wandering through the war-torn landscapes of Ghost of Tsushima feels like stepping into a living tapestry of resistance. Scattered across Izuhara, Toyotama, and Kamigata lie 40 Records—fragile echoes of ordinary souls during the Mongol invasion. These aren't just collectibles; they're tear-stained poems, hastily scribbled messages, and raw personal accounts whispering tales of resilience from under the boot of occupation. Snagging 20 unlocks the Avid Reader trophy, but truth be told? Hunting them down feels like piecing together Tsushima's fractured heartbeat. ✨

🍃 Izuhara Region (16 Records)

Where history hides in burnt villages and moonlit dojos...

  • Hiyoshi Springs:

  • Record 01: Near the horse stable, duck into that lonely hut. It’s literally waiting by the door like a shy neighbor.

  • Record 02: Cross that rickety wooden bridge—the one that creaks underfoot—and bam! On a table inside the hut. Easy peasy.

  • Record 03: Climb the watchtower behind you. Feels like the record’s playing hide-and-seek at the top!

  • Azamo Bay:

  • Charred houses hold secrets. Record 01’s upstairs near hay bundles—watch your step on those scorched stairs.

  • Record 02? That big house with NPCs chattering. Climb the ladder, spot it beside shattered pottery like a forgotten note.

  • Komatsu Forge:

  • Check the dojo’s side room (Record 01) or the gatehouse’s upper floor (Record 02). That third one? Tucked in a collapsed-roof house—kinda poetic, right?

  • Other Gems:

| Location | Where to Look | Vibe Check |

|------------------|----------------------------------------|-------------------------------------|

| Logging Base | Wooden stairs climb ➔ table near artifact | Feels like a Mongol’s lost memo |

| Ogawa Dojo | Ground near empty shelves | Quiet, like an interrupted thought |

| Komoda Town | Dusty room beside a shelf | Whispers of abandonment |

🌊 Toyotama Region (16 Records)

Where rivers carry stories and strongholds guard memories...

  • Akashima Village:

  • Sneak behind the merchant’s house (Record 01), cross the bridge to the left-side house (Record 02), then climb to a hut’s first floor (Record 03). That fourth one? Nestled among white flowers—total serenity amid chaos. 🌸

  • Yarikawa Stronghold:

  • Ladder near the gate ➔ rooftop Record (01). Then peek behind the swordsmith (02) and scale the tower (03). Feels like uncovering military secrets!

  • Umugi Cove:

  • House-left of spawn (Record 01), then rooftop-hop via boulders (02). Last one’s in that loner house at the cove’s edge—salt air optional but recommended.

❄️ Kamigata Region (8 Records)

Where snow meets sorrow and camps hide truths...

  • Kin Sanctuary:

  • Record 01’s in a fire-licked house—doorstep greeting. Record 02? Two ladders up in another burning building. Spine-tingling!

  • Sago Mill:

  • Second house left past the bridge (Record 01), then stairs to a higher house (02). Record 03’s waiting above an entrance—almost teasing you.

  • General Camps:

  • Bartu’s hillhouse table (Record) vs Dogshin’s campfire tent (Record). Both feel... ominously personal.

😌 People Also Ask

  • Do Records affect the main story?

Nah—they’re Tsushima’s soul, not its spine. Pure world-building gold though.

  • Missable if regions change?

Nope! They stay put like stubborn ghosts. Phew.

  • Why hunt them all?

20 gets the trophy... but 40? That’s hearing Tsushima’s full whisper.

Finding these isn’t about checklists. It’s sitting with a farmer’s last words in a war-torn field, or a lover’s plea in ash. Somewhere between sword swings and Mongol camps, these papers breathe. And honestly? That’s the real trophy. 🌙
