How does one person control a sword, bow, bombs, kunai, and more? Our Ghost of Tsushima controls guide is here to explain precisely that. Things start out pretty simple in Sucker Punch’s Samurai affair, but quickly escalate as you unlock stances and shady Ghost Weapons.

Most of the controls for Ghost of Tsushima are pretty straightforward, but getting used to using R2 to interact takes a bit of time. The biggest hurdle to success is getting used to holding R2 to change stances during combat, or hold L2 to swap your ranged weapon. With a bit of practice, however, you’ll be able to take on any foes that Jin Sakai may face.
