Ghost of Tsushima has a number of different arrow types for you to obtain, with Explosive Arrows being one of those which you can obtain for the Longbow. This Ghost of Tsushima guide will show you how to get the longbow and how to get the explosive arrows as well.
Ghost of Tsushima – How To Get The Longbow And Hot To Get Explosive Arrows
In Ghost of Tsushima, both the Longbow and the Explosive Arrows can be found in the Mythic Tale ‘The Curse Of Uchitsune’, which can be found in the Izuhara region, in the south of the Hiyoshi prefecture.
Upon playing the Mythic Tale and discovering all the secrets in it you will come across a duel at the end. Beating the foe and completing the duel will award you with the Longbow and Explosive Arrows at the end of the cutscene that plays.
You can then switch to this bow at any time by holding down L2 and selecting right on the d-pad. You can switch to each of the arrows when you have this bow selected by holding down L2 and pressing either square or triangle.
The Longbow offers a number of benefits over the normal bow. First of all the Heavy arrows will allow you to pierce helmets that Mongols are wearing and allow you to remain in stealth later in the game, whilst being able to kill the armored Mongols. Explosive Arrows allow you to damage a number of enemies in an area and also ambush patrol’s causing the horses to buck and knock the Mongols off of them.
Both of these tools will be especially useful during Act 2 and Act 3 of the game, where the Mongols are stronger and come in larger numbers when compared to those you encounter in the Izuhara district.
Ghost of Tsushima is available now on PS4.
