Ghost of Yotei: How to Lift Fog of War

Ghost of Yotei‘s expansive open world offers a lot to explore, and it can take players a significant amount of time to see everything, depending on how carefully they search. Fans of Ghost of Tsushima, the earlier game in the series, may recall that it let players reveal the entire map in a specific area by defeating all the Mongol camps located there.

Many players are curious if Ghost of Yotei lets you uncover parts of the map without exploring every inch. Here’s a simple explanation of how it works.

How to Reveal the Map in Ghost of Yotei

There are three ways to reveal the map in Ghost of Yotei:

  • Walking on foot or riding on horseback through the world and experiencing what it has to offer firsthand.
  • Using Spyglass/Binoculars to find points of interest, marking their location on the world map screen.
  • Using Traveler’s Maps to reveal the immediate area surrounding points of interest like Hot Springs, Altars of Reflection, and more.

Unlike Ghost of Tsushima, which allowed players to uncover an entire area on the map by finishing certain tasks, Ghost of Yotei doesn’t have a similar feature. In this game, Saito’s camps function like the Mongol camps found in the previous title. But, clearing these camps won’t automatically show you all the objectives available in that region.

How to Reach New Regions in Ghost of Yotei

Ghost of Yotei features seven different regions, though you can only explore three of them immediately when you begin. To unlock the remaining areas, you’ll need to finish Main Tales – specifically, quests centered around defeating the Yotei Six.

Region How to Unlock
Yotei Grasslands N/A
Tokachi Range N/A
Mount Yotei Accessible via the Mount Yotei Shrine in the western region of the Yotei Grasslands.
Ishikari Plain Main Tale: The Oni
Teshio Ridge Main Tale: The Kitsune
Oshima Coast Main Tale: The Saito Brothers
Nayoro Wilds Take the Central Ferry in Tokachi Range’s Great Lake.

How to Get Traveler’s Maps in Ghost of Yotei

Once you finish the story at The Old Inn in Ghost of Yotei, Isaburo the Cartographer will start selling items. He trades Traveler’s Maps for coins, and the price changes. Also, friendly NPCs throughout the game world will occasionally offer clues to hidden locations-these clues lead to Traveler’s Maps you can use.

To see if you have any unused Traveler’s Maps, simply open the map and check the left side of your screen. Any maps you haven’t used will be shown there.

How to Use Traveler’s Maps in Ghost of Yotei

Here’s how you can place Traveler’s Maps:

  • Open the map screen by pressing the touchpad.
  • Select the Traveler’s Map by pressing Square.
  • Use Left Stick to find the location on the map’s outline that corresponds to the Traveler’s Map and press X to place it.

To pinpoint the exact location, use clear landmarks as guides – things like the shape of a river or the boundaries of the area. These recognizable features will help you find the right spot.

Traveler’s Maps only show locations within the region they’re for, so you don’t have to search the entire map of Ghost of Yotei. You only need to look in the area where you found the map itself.
