Detailed walkthrough of all Ghostwire story missions, tactics and tips for fighting bosses.At the start of Ghostwire, select your desired difficulty level: Easy, Medium, Hard, or Nightmare. In principle, even at an average difficulty level, you will have to make a lot of effort, so for the first time this choice will be quite enough. Watch the introductory video, which introduces you to Akito and Kei-Kei who possessed him.
Chapter 1
Each chapter consists of several story missions. Side missions will be covered in a separate guide.
disappearance
Then use LMB to attack with wind weave. By holding down the mouse wheel, you can block incoming hits. If you block in advance, then it will partially save you from the damage received. If you place a block at the moment the enemy strikes, it will be perfect, which means you will not receive a single point of damage.
After the destruction of the first three opponents, you can open the map (key M) to see where to go next. Now take the linear path to the hospital where Akito’s sister is. Move the only way using Shift to speed up. Do not enter the fog under any circumstances. Get close to the otherworldly matter and attack the Q key with your hand to get the aether. Aether grants you synergy points which are used for weaving attacks. Green ether provides OS for wind weaving, blue for water, red for fire, and so on. So far, wind weaving is available to you. As soon as you get inside the hospital, the task will end and you will receive 500 experience points.
City of shadows
Immediately pay attention to the flying mirror objects. They can be broken to get synergy points. You can deviate from the main path and search the back streets of the hospital to get documents or food. Any food in Ghostwire Tokyo is used for healing. Head right down the corridor to trigger a cutscene. Crouch on CTRL and sneak up on the enemy. Click on RMB for an instant kill. Somewhere in this moment you will get a new level of synergy. Each time you level up, you gain a 2% increase in maximum HP and skill points that can be invested in new spirit skills. For example, to strengthen weaving and so on. Right now, you will be able to unlock a powerful attack by holding the left mouse button.
Rise to the second floor and iditol along the corridor. On the couch on the right is a bag of food. Be sure to pick it up. For treatment, you need to hold down the C key. Normal pressing C allows you to switch between food sources that provide different bonuses (in addition to healing). Before that, a new enemy will appear. Hold LMB and wait. When the energy is accumulated, shoot at the enemy. Hold RMB to pull out the core. Pulling the cores is optional, but you will get more points for this. You can just shoot at the core to finish off the enemy. Move on, pick up another package and finish off the enemies in the office. You can read different notes. There will be two more opponents in the corridor behind the office.
Climb to the third floor and move along the corridor where clothes are scattered. Follow through the dining room and kitchen, go through the automatic doors and move up the stairs. Keep walking in a straight line until the very end, until a cutscene with Mari and the villain in the Hannya mask plays. Go outside, enter the elevator and go down. Leave the hospital. You will receive 500 experience points and “Outsider” music.
Chapter 2
QC
Right now, KK offers to visit his apartment. Open the map to see your destination. Move along the street until you find a blue Torii gate on the side. Finish off all the Outsiders, go to the gate and hold LMB to clear it. This will remove the ghostly fog located nearby, and you will also be able to search the sanctuary. Inside it you will find the first katashiro. Katashiro are special items that allow you to absorb ghostly souls encountered in the city. The more katashiro you have, the more ghosts you can take with you (and later save). Nearby there is an item called kagura-suzu. This is one of the collectibles that can be sold for Meiki to yokai cats.
Keep moving until you see a dog barking at ghosts. Kill the Outsiders, then break the cube in which the souls are imprisoned. Save them by holding RMB and using katashiro. This is how you devour the spirits. As you move on, smash different items to get synergy points and destroy the yellow jugs that contain Maika. Absorb any spirits you encounter. Do not stand at the tree corruption until you can destroy it. There is a yokai shop next to this corruption. Go inside and say hello to the merchant. Among other things, you can buy katashiro, dog food and various foods. You can’t really study food.
You will soon reach KK’s house, and there will be a telephone booth on the side of the stairs. Interact with her to send the spirits to Edu, freeing all the katashiros and getting Meik for it. Climb to the second floor and examine the protection on the door. Interact with the door and see a drawing. Repeat it using a gaming mouse. Having folded the sign, hold LMB and RMB at the same time. Once inside the apartment, you will complete the task and receive 500 experience points.
How to clear the fog
You’ll level up, so you can invest skill points (or keep them to unlock more expensive skills). Search all rooms. In the main room, there are several items to examine. Among other things, you can open the black case and pick up the bow. You will also find one KK report. For such reports, you will receive skill points.
When everything is studied, go outside through the front door. You will understand that the house is being swallowed up by the Veil. It needs to be destroyed. Climb up the stairs and melee the Veil Stone. But this is not enough. Walk a little higher and enter the apartment on the third floor. Move through corridors and rooms, not paying attention to any changes. The back bedroom will have a quiver with arrows and closet doors. Open them and you will see the second stone of the veil. Press R to equip the bow, aim with RMB and fire with LMB. Go outside, to the landing, and move up. Open the door on the top floor. Go through the door ahead, duck down and climb through the hole in the wall. Then jump down through the hole to the kitchen. Having done this, bend down and climb through the hole again. Open the closet doors and jump over the pieces of furniture upstairs. Crouch down and bypass the damage. Open the closet door in the bedroom with the TV and destroy the last stone of the Veil. All this you must do in the allotted time.
Go outside and drop down to the ground. Go to the blue blob of energy, listen to KK, and then press Tab to use ghost vision. Follow the trail until you find a corruption tree. Use the power of the TAB key to see the core and shoot it. The corruption will dissipate, and spirits will remain in its place. Be sure to eat them. The store on the left has the same assortment as the previous one, but arrows are now also available. Walk forward until a cutscene starts. The mission will end and you will receive 500 experience points. Kay-Kay will offer to inspect the shrines.
Doom Maze
First you need to get to Shiroyama Shrine. On the wide road, go left and destroy the corruption to save the spirits. KK will say that he feels a buildup of energy. There is a Jizo statue along the road on the right. Pray near her to increase the maximum supply of wind weave (from 30 to 31 units).
Move further along the marker until you find a Torii Gate located on the roof of a multi-story building. Tengu fly there. Hold RMB, aim at the tengu and press Space to pull and fly up. You will be on the roof. Gather the spirits and move to the Torii Gate. Kill the flying ghosts, then pull yourself up to another tengu. Jump to the top of the building and press Space again to float through the air. Clear the Torii Gate and collect 1 or 2 katashiros from the shrine. Open the map and watch the green side quest markers appear. We will complete them later.
Climb down and follow the marker. Along the way, you will find flying red ethereal crystals. By destroying them, you will cause an explosion that can destroy several targets at once. Collect spirits along the way and don’t miss the phone booths as the katashiros fill up fairly quickly. And don’t forget to invest skill points as you level up.
When you get to Shiroyama Shrine, you will learn that some shrines are considered large. There are several Torii Gates on their territory, so you will have to fight the enemies near each gate and clear them. But the reward will be more significant. 55 meters before the shrine, you can find another Jizo statue. There are several youkai shops in front of Shiroyama Shrine. You will learn for requests – a list of items that can be found in Shibuya and bring to youkayam to get Meika.
When you’re ready, go to the shrine grounds and clear out three pairs of Torii Gates. Near each Gate you will find Outsiders. You will learn that you can leave an offering in this shrine. The more Meik you donate, the better the reward will be. At the same time, you can choose a reward: find out the location of the Jizo statues, restore OZ or OS, or get what you are looking for. Choose the last option to progress through the game’s story. You will receive Weave of Fire. To switch between weaves, use the E key or the mouse wheel. You can hold down the E key to open the “weapon wheel” with available weaves. Any weave has a weak and strong attack through pressing or holding LMB. Weave of Fire does a lot of damage, so save it for elite enemies.
Move further along the marker to the observation deck Kagerie. On your way there, look on the tall building on the left for the Torii Gate. Look up and see a tengu flying over the next building. Pull towards it, get close to the gate and clear it. To do this, jump down into the courtyard, where the construction site unfolded. The Torii Gate is in the cave below. Cleanse the corruption, collect the spirits and find a place where you can go down. Try to free the Torii gate, but an elite Outsider – Kuchisake will appear. Fight him with Weave Fire (while there are charges). Also lure the enemy to the red aether and blast them with wind weave shots. Try to put the perfect block or run back in time. Once defeated, clear the Torii Gate and collect the Water Weave reward.
Collect the spirits and then ride up the lift. Continue moving towards the Kagerie lookout. KK will say that you have reached the station. You can go to the hall ahead and find a large golden statuette on the side. By destroying it, you will get a lot of Meic. Open the map and pay attention to the Torii Gate. Stand below and slightly to the left of their location on the map. In this place, under the bridge, you destroyed the damage (there was a Stranger in a yellow cloak, who raises the alarm and calls the rest of the monsters). Look left before the bridge and see a yellow sign on the fence. At this point, you can jump over the fence. Do so, and then run up the stairs. At the top, break the jugs with Maik and jump up the objects. Then you will see balconies on the building. Jump on these balconies, looking up and clinging to the ends. Rising up, you will see spirits. Collect them if there is space. You also need to get rid of the protective sign. As for the phone booth, it can be found on the same roof, on the far left side, opposite the yokai shop.
Go around the building, jump from a small fence to the visor and climb up. Finish off all enemies around the shrine. There will be a lot of flying Aliens here. After defeating, clear the Torii Gate and search the shrine to get the painting hanging on the right (request) and the first stun talismans. Go outside and fight another Kuchisake. Use stun talismans against her. To switch to the talismans themselves, press the F key. After the victory, move to the left (by the way, there is a telephone booth near the sanctuary and the former Torii Gate) and around the corner of the building you will find damage with enemies. After defeating everyone, move up the stairs until Kei-Kei draws your attention to the tengu. Pull up to him, go up the escalators and kill a lot of enemies. Gather the squall rosary from the altar. Open inventory and equip this rosary,
Interact with the binoculars on the observation deck and look down to the right to find the subway entrance. The Stranger, whom you pursue throughout the chapter, will go there. Jump down and go down to the subway station. The mission will end and you will receive 500 experience points.
Underground chase
At the beginning of the station, you will again see a blue sphere. Use ghost vision to see traces of the Outsider. Move through the station and absorb the spirits. Where necessary, kill enemies. There will be a telephone booth along the way. There is no reason to walk past her and delay sending the spirits. The trail will break, but KK will say that you no longer need it, since there is only one road here. Go down and down, killing enemies and collecting spirits. Be as discreet as possible. At the end of the train, there are pots of Maik. Move through the tunnel with rails, go through the technical rooms and get to the marker.
Here the battle with the first boss of the game will begin. This will be a long battle. Use a block, while trying to set the perfect one to repel enemy attacks. The enemy will use Wind, Fire, and Water Weaves. Destroy machines to collect aether for your weaves. As usual, use Weave Fire first, and use powerful attacks. Don’t forget to heal. I’m not sure if this works or not, but maybe you will deal more damage using the same elements that the enemy is currently using. See green, use wind weave, red – fire. Watch the video after winning.
A stealth segment will begin as Akito lacks Kei-Kei’s powers. Move on the left side, towards the nearest enemy. Fortunately, you can kill opponents by stealth. Do this and follow along the left wall and columns. Pick up the moment and deal with the enemy in a white shirt, with an umbrella. Then carefully walk to the stairs and move up the stairs. Get down and kill the enemy. You can even run up the stairs and go through the door where the cable goes. A little further there will be a few more opponents. You can run past them. Open the door and go up the stairs to get out. The mission will end and you will receive 500 experience points.
Underground twin
Follow the marker to KK’s hideout. Upon arrival, you can chat with a woman who will tell you what to do next. You will receive 5 bush talismans, which allow you to create bushes and hide from Intruders. Leave the apartment and follow the black lane that leads to the right place. Bypass or eliminate enemies. Soon you will reach the sanctuary. Go to his territory and follow through the bushes on the right. Kill the enemy, go around the building on the right and move along the perimeter until you can enter inside. If enemies see you, use your bow. On the medium difficulty level, two charged bow shots are enough to kill opponents with umbrellas. Once inside the sanctuary, watch the video. After that, apply resonance by pressing V. It’s kind of like Akito’s ultimate. When the gauge is full, use V. Not only will you stun enemies, but you will also restore aether for the main weaves. The mission will end, you will receive 500 experience points, a new chapter will begin
