Shadows and Honor - Ghost of Tsushima.

 Jin joined Yuna in her search for her brother Taka, following leads that led to a Mongol prison camp. As a storm gathered, Jin was forced to break the samurai code by striking silently. A flashback with Lord Shimura reminded him of the code's true meaning and weight.  Yuna was searching for her brother, a blacksmith named Taka who has been captured by the Mongols. She was checking on a lead near Kechi Fishing Village and I had to get to her to work on this mission. I found her taking down a Mongol right when I went there, and there were more of their dead bodies around.  Yuna got information of the Mongols marching prisoners upriver. It did sound like it should be Yuna's brother and she knew the camp where the peoples were taken so Jin decided to follow her to that camp.  The way each chapter title shows up, it looks cool. So, this time its about the Warrior's Code and this post is gonna be the first part out of two.  We had to reach an overlook by the Mongol prison camp but before doing that, Yuna asked if Jin found any samurai to save his uncle but I didn't look for one yet, I went to her aid first.   We started riding towards the overlook when the sky was clear but as we were passing more roads, I noticed dark clouds in the sky and there were lightnings as well, along with stormy wind.  After reaching the overlook, we had to survey the camp from that distance and we noticed the front wall there was still under construction so that one could be our way in.   We waited till nightfall and then I was running towards the camp, when Yuna was following me. And we squeezed inside through the fence gap.   There was this Mongol guarding this side, turning on the other way. The Mongols would kill all the prisoners if they see them, so Jin had to break the warrior's code and take down that Mongol in silent, without honor.   I did the assassination and moving part but Jin took the Mongols down in the cinematic and then he laid on the ground and closed his eyes.   I was not ready for another flashback already but there was this one. Jin was hunting a wild bear outside, along with uncle Shimura.   I had to follow the tracks with the uncle and after following for some times, we found the bear, dead.   We checked on the bear and saw gash in his side, not from an arrow. Then an assassin suddenly attacked Shimura from behind.   But Shimura got him locked. Jin got angry and was sayin the assassin must answer for this crime with his life.   Shimura suggested Jin to look the assassin in the eye and teach him a samurai never acts out of anger or fear.  After Jin was done taking care of the assassin, Shimura told him they look them in the eye when they take their life, with courage and respect. This is what makes them samurai. Shimura also said, "Only cowards strike from the shadows". --- If you like the post, feel free to like, comment & share. I will soon come with another post.
