Is there anyone out there who hasn't developed a grudge for the archers in Ghost of Tsushima? Those buggers can be a real pain in the arse during combat, especially when there's more than one of them. This scribe always makes sure to target them first in a fight, but the Twitter user in the clip below didn't have the chance to do that. In fact, they didn't even see what appears to be an army of them coming.
Posted by @BelAirDrip, Jin can be seen getting absolutely destroyed in mid-air by a team of bow-wielding opponents who are utterly relentless in their mission to take the samurai down. It leads to Ghost of Tsushima's protagonist staying in the air for a whole five seconds as they little his health down to nought. What makes this clip even crazier is that you can see the player using up their resolve in the bottom-left corner in order to heal themselves, and it's this which allows the assault to go on as long as it does.

Pretty crazy, right? Have you encountered a moment such as this in Ghost of Tsushima which even comes close? Let us know in the comments below.

I go straight for them. Hate those guys.
Those archers played MvC3 with his body lol.
That’s pretty realistic
That’s hilarious.
Schoolboy error, always take them out first
What i love about Tsushima is the small, realistic details. Earlier i dodged and incoming sword attack and the mongol archer who had fired a flame arrow at me hit his own guy in the back who was actually set on flames. So many games would have neutralised friendly fire, so i really appreciated that touch.
@Rob_230 sounds like that guy should have used some resolve. It’s rule one when you get hit by a flaming arrow, basic stuff. Stop, drop, resolve.
Resolve. Don’t leave home without it!
@kyleforrester87 resolve doesn’t put out a fire in the game, theres a roll skill that can.
Im confused why anyone would have difficulty, I upgraded immediately and then, bare minimum I hold L1 and walk them down.
Unless, they get to a point to where L1 doesn’t work?
This is the first time I see so many of them lol. I usually target them first with sword, bow, or kunai, my next upgrade is run and slice move (run and attack with sword) so I can just run and kill them.
Totally normal physics there.
The archers become pretty easy once you can deflect them with your katana xD
Oh wow, that is hilarious! I feel the pain though, archers are by far one of the more annoying opponents. Especially if you’re trying to fight a brute or spear-wielding mongol and you keep getting shot right as you attack 😂
My wife started a standoff while liberating a camp and was teleported to a location in the middle of nowhere with 5 different enemies. It took her about 5 minutes to get back to the camp.
Go for them first.
That thing happened to me twice... It happens when you go to an area that is accessible only during a main tale.
this is quite hilarious. I know this location. If you go there earlier than the story demands you... you'll meet with this rain of arrows that will kill you one way or another lol
When I read the headline, I thought it was just that he wasn't very good. I do find the archers irritating, but they are quite simple to deal with, so I thought "how can you have trouble with them?"
Then I watched the video. 🤣
WOW that was an EPIC death! But seriously, take out the archers first, that should always be a priority in big camps like this. Also once you get the rhythm of when to dodge based on their calling out, they're really not that tough... And Concentration is your friend.
Sorry the games no good according to the Pure Xbox lot. It’s not 4K 120fps.
The fun I’ve had over there with that lot.
Explaining a consoles power could be better used with slightly lower resolution and frame rate and using the power for more realistic, detailed and enriched gameplay and worlds.
I think they are all on the series x, 4K 120fps PR wagon ready for tomorrow. I even said look at the sales of PS4 and it’s big AAA games, all less than 4K but graphically outstanding.
Lmao. I heard of 100% air juggle combos, but this is ridiculous.
What's even worse than arch enemies? Arch-er enemies.
Unlock the deflect arrows skill asap that way you can just hold the block button and arrows are automatically deflected by Jin just like geralt does in the Witcher 3 makes the archers not a problem anymore.
Man! He musta been playing on harakiri mode cause I haven’t seen nothing like that yet!
The archers in this game are awful 😂
100% accuracy, well done
Jin juggle.
Archers first always.
Archers=Snipers. Take them out first
Bad game. Bad. Game.
Yea I learnt to put out fire, if you got struck by a flaming arrow, just roll. Didn't know till I rolled, which leads to the clip on this post. That happened to me yesterday while doing a particular mission, when you return home. There definitely weren't many archers in the camp, yet I got bombarded with atleast 10 arrows in a row. I just left myself to die. Couldn't be too bothered to press down for a second chance, assuming you unlocked that skill, and you have the required resolve.
Also had no idea where it came from. Always off screen as this clip above showed. Glitch, who knows.
Yeah. If you go in an area that they warn you is overwhelming with enemies, this will happen. You won’t even see the archers. You’ll just be filled up with arrows.
Take them out first love using the bow.
How do you turn on Legolas difficulty.
@Phranctoast that explains it, I haven’t tried that so I didn’t know.
+1 for actual answer
The eagles make me mad because I can never find them/shoot them in time lol
Haha wtf lol he must of been close as they only seem to do that rapid fire thing when you run up to them, but damn that's unlucky lol. Hate the archers especially if u miss one then get a flaming arrow to the knee whilst you're focus is on someone else lol
Madness, they are a pain in the backside! As others have said once you upgrade your Katana to deflect arrows it is much easier, but for me the best tactic is going stealth to get rid of these blighters before slicing up the rest
i think when that happens, you are trying to infiltrate a base/camp that is not 'meant' to be done yet. As i did it with the very bottom right camp early on, and got smashed with what seemed like 100 arrows. The same camp 2 hours later, in a mission was a piece of piddle.
That's cool 😃
But yeah those archers can be a pain sometimes.
Like any other game kill snipers or archers before with stealth if you can No1 rule
Pro tip: turn on the accessibility feature that triggers an icon to show on screen as they're doing their callouts.
There was too many times where I'd be engaged with a leader or like 3 spears at once, and I couldn't hear, let alone see, where the archers were shooting me from.
@JorbNorb said no one ever, except salty xbots with nothing to play lmfao
Easy goty, xbots heads may explode after this one lol
@PorkYoself I’ve had some odd Stand-Off moments too. One time the enemy was behind a tree that was suddenly placed into the foreground.
Saw this a couple days ago, the poor guy got juggled haha
I always take them first. I hardly ever parry arrows as you gain no ground on the archer. I sprint and dodge my way around mopping them up....They only become a pain later in the game when they start doing a 3 round fast draw and there’s multiple of them. They aren’t really hard though. Just dodge whenever you sense arrows or see them aiming at you and you’ll rarely get hit. Always take them out first though. Then I would take out the bomb guys if there’s any then any flaming swords dudes after that the rests a breeze.
@starhops I had an eagle land on the mongol as I’d just cut him down. I also was doing a mission with an Old granny npc and as I mounted my horse and she matrix style mounted her horse from around 10 meters away. (Jumped in the air then floated to her destination) gave me a chuckle 😂
@JorbNorb it’s a fantastic game. There’s very few games anywhere near it’s quality and fun. Is it perfect no but it’s better 99% of the crap out there on any console.
