Ghost of Tsushima – Monkey See Trophy

by Chappie in

 

In Ghost of Tsushima’s Iki Island DLC there is a trophy called Monkey See that requires you to embody the spirit of the monkey on Saruiwa. For this trophy, you’ll need to head to Saruiwa in the southwestern part of Iki Island. On the mountain here, you’ll need to located the below monkey statues:

 

 

Hear No Evil

From the beach, work your way up the Saruiwa mountain. You’ll enter a rock room filled with bountiful amounts of monkey statues. On the left side of the room, there will be a tree stump you can throw your grappling hook at. Use that and climb up as high as you can to reach a ledge with a tight rope. Walk across the rope then play your flute in front of the monkey statue covering his ears. This will trigger a brief scene of you playing.

 

See No Evil

Head back to the rock room with the statues and squeeze through the narrow opening. Follow the path along the side of the mountain until you reach a small tunnel. To the right of the tunnel, there will be some rock ledges you can use to climb up. If you jump onto the first ledge, you’ll fall down grabbing onto a rock ledge below. Keep heading down to find the second statue of a monkey covering its eyes. Throw a smoke bomb in front of it to trigger a brief scene.

 

Speak No Evil

Climb back up and head through the small tunnel. You’ll jump across a small gap to reach bamboo tied together to form a bridge. Cross the makeshift bridge then grapple onto the tree stump and work your way all the way down the side of the mountain until you reach a tree branch sticking out of the side of the mountain with a grapple point. Use your grapple to launch yourself into a tidal pool. You’ll find the last statue of a monkey covering its mouth resting on some rocks next to a black handprint. Bow to the statue to trigger the trophy.
