How to Go to Iki Island in Ghost of Tsushima

Iki Island is a captivating expansion to Ghost of Tsushima, offering new stories, challenges, and rewards. To access this content, you’ll need to meet a few requirements and follow specific steps. Here’s a guide on how to get there:

First, you must have progressed far enough in the main game. Specifically, you need to complete Act 1: Izuhara and unlock the Toyotama region. This ensures you have a solid foundation in combat and exploration before tackling the challenges of Iki Island. Once you’ve met this requirement, a new quest titled “Journey into the Past” will appear in your journal. This quest is your gateway to Iki Island.

To start the quest, head to Drowned Man’s Shore in the Toyotama region. You’ll find a new area marked on your map, where you’ll encounter a group of Mongol soldiers. After a brief cutscene, you’ll set sail for Iki Island. The journey itself is a cinematic experience, setting the tone for the adventure ahead.

Once you arrive on Iki Island, you’ll be introduced to its unique environment, storylines, and enemies. The expansion is designed to be challenging, so it’s recommended that you have a few key upgrades before venturing there. For example, unlocking the Wind Stance is highly advised, as it’s effective against the spear-wielding enemies you’ll frequently encounter. Additionally, having a decent arsenal of charms, armor, and combat skills will make your experience smoother.

It’s worth noting that you can return to Tsushima at any time by fast traveling, so you’re not locked into the expansion once you arrive. However, Iki Island’s rewards, such as powerful charms and armor, are best utilized during the main game, so it’s a good idea to visit earlier rather than later.

In summary, to go to Iki Island, complete Act 1, unlock Toyotama, and start the “Journey into the Past” quest. Prepare well, and enjoy this thrilling addition to Jin Sakai’s story!
