Oh, well, let me tell you, folks, if you’re lookin’ to get that Helping Sword Hand trophy in the game Ghost of Tsushima, you’ve got some work ahead of ya. Now, this ain’t some little chore you get done in an afternoon, oh no, it’s a full-on task that’ll have ya runnin’ all over Tsushima Island, helpin’ folks left and right. This here trophy only shows up once you’ve done all the Tales of Tsushima, not a single one left out. If you’re gonna dive into this, get ready, ‘cause it’s a bit of a journey, but it sure feels mighty fine once you finish it up.
So, now, what’s it take to get that Helping Sword Hand trophy? Well, sit back and I’ll tell ya. You’re gonna need to go through every tale on the island, every last one. That means you’ll be followin’ along with different characters in their own stories, like Norio, Masako, Ishikawa, and Yuna. Each of ’em has their own tales that’re just packed with action, drama, and sometimes a bit of heartbreak. These tales show up on your map as little white diamond icons, so they’re not hard to find. You just gotta make sure ya don’t skip a single one!

Now, let me warn ya, there’s a couple of these tales that like to hide from ya, real sneaky-like. There’s one near Kawamata Village in Toyotama called A Debt Repaid and another one south-east of Jogaku Temple called The Cost of Fear. These ones don’t show up on the map on their own, so if you’re wanderin’ around wonderin’ where they’re hidin’, keep an eye out for the golden birds flyin’ around. Those birds’ll lead ya right to these hidden tales if you follow ’em. Real handy, those birds, kinda like guides from above, I’d say.
Altogether, you’re lookin’ at 61 Tales of Tsushima and 7 Mythic Tales to get through. Now, these Mythic Tales are somethin’ special too, let me tell ya. They’re like little stories about legends and heroes, and they give ya special techniques and armor that’ll help ya out somethin’ fierce. So if you’re goin’ for that Helping Sword Hand, don’t forget these Mythic Tales either!
Now, I gotta say, this isn’t just about doin’ quests for the sake of it. No, no, you’re gonna see a side of the island and its people that you don’t get from the main story. Every tale adds a little more to the picture, tellin’ ya about folks tryin’ to protect their homes, or gettin’ revenge for their loved ones, or sometimes just tryin’ to survive. Each tale is a piece of the whole, showin’ what life’s like under the Mongol invasion, how the people of Tsushima are fightin’ in their own ways. And, if you’re like me, you’ll find yourself rootin’ for these characters by the end of it.
Once ya finish all these tales, well then, that’s when you finally get that Helping Sword Hand trophy. It’s not just about braggin’ rights—no sir, it’s a mark of all the good work you’ve done on that island. And it’s no small thing, either, since it takes a whole lotta time and effort. But lemme tell ya, once you hear that little ding sound and see that trophy pop up, you’ll feel like you’ve earned every bit of it.
So, here’s what you need to remember:
- Complete every Tale of Tsushima, includin’ Norio’s, Masako’s, Ishikawa’s, and Yuna’s quests.
- Don’t skip the hidden tales near Kawamata Village and Jogaku Temple—use those golden birds to find ‘em.
- Complete all 7 Mythic Tales along with the 61 regular tales for the full Helping Sword Hand achievement.
So there ya go! If you’re plannin’ on gettin’ that Helping Sword Hand trophy, be ready to buckle down and follow every tale on that map. It’ll take ya on a journey all over Tsushima Island, from the mountain peaks to the village towns, meetin’ folks who’ve got their own troubles and stories. But by the end, you’ll have seen the whole island and helped everyone ya could, and that’s worth a whole lot, wouldn’t ya say?
Good luck, and don’t forget, keep an eye on those birds. They know more than ya might think.
