There are many hidden side quests in Ghost of Tsushima, called Tales. This Ghost Of Tsushima – Tales Of Tsushima Side Quest Guide will tell you where to find each of the side quests we have discovered on our journey so far, including tips on how to complete the more challenging ones.
Tales of Tsushima are the side quests in the game but the same name is used for main quest lines. You can tell the difference as main quests have a yellow or gold coloring to the icon, whereas the side quests Tales of Tsushima are marked by black and white icons on the main map.
There are also Mythic Tales, these are unique tales that provide special moves when completed.
