You can find Bamboo Strikes in numerous locations in Ghost of Tsushima. These stands allow Jin to practice his swordplay and help to add permanent buffs to his stats. Completing these is also required for a trophy, but they can be tricky.
What do you get for completing Bamboo Strikes in Ghost of Tsushima?
There are 16 Bamboo Strikes located throughout Tsushima Island. They can be tricky as you have to complete them by entering a specific button combination within a short period of time. The first combo is three buttons, then you must enter a five-button sequence, and finally, you’ll need to input a seven-button line. Once you get used to this, it’s not too hard, but you’ll likely fail your first few times.
For completing Bamboo Strikes in Ghost of Tsushima, you increase Jin’s max Resolve. This is incredibly useful as more Resolve allows you to heal more and pull off more special moves.
