Unveiling the Hidden Shrine Locations in Ghost of Tsushima

In Ghost of Tsushima, there are numerous hidden shrines scattered across the island, and discovering 10 of them will unlock the "Salute the Invisible" trophy. Today, I'll guide you to the locations of these hidden shrines, hoping to aid your journey.

Hidden shrines are distinct from other collectibles as they do not appear as "?" markers on the map, nor are players notified of their existence within the main game. It's entirely up to the player to discover them on their own.

Upon locating a hidden shrine, swipe down on the touchpad (bow gesture). If done correctly, it will trigger various environmental effects such as swirling petals, buzzing insects, lightning strikes, circling birds, or leaping fish.

Although some hidden shrines may not resemble traditional shrines, appearing as rocks, trees, or marked pontoon bridges, they are fixed in the open world and can be accessed at any time after completing the main storyline.

While there may be more than 10 hidden shrines in the game, only 10 need to be discovered and activated correctly to unlock the Salute the Invisible Trophy. These shrines serve no purpose other than unlocking the trophy and are not included in the in-game collectibles list.

Some hidden shrines lack the distinctive "samurai bow" symbol, such as the graves of certain characters. It is speculated that any environmental effect-triggering element should count toward the trophy.

To ensure proper counting for the trophy, only confirmed hidden shrines with the aforementioned symbol are listed below. Other hidden shrines can be discovered by interested players.

Upon finding a hidden shrine, be sure to perform the correct gesture until you witness the environmental effect. If it doesn't trigger initially, repeat the bow gesture until it activates.
