Before you take on the likes of Takezo the Unrivaled, you need to know all the nearest hot springs in Ghost of Yotei. Unlike Ubsioft’s ACS, developers Sucker Punch’s feel more like an authentic Japanese RPG. Finding and soaking in hot springs is more than just a relaxing activity — it actually increases Atsu’s maximum health each time you use one. The boost may seem small at first, but as you discover more hot springs in Ghost of Yotei, the effect adds up and makes Atsu much tougher in battle.
You can spot Ghost of Yotei hot spring locations easily, thanks to the steam rising into the air. Golden birds can also lead you to them, and you can buy maps from the cartographer or get hints by talking to people in different villages. Because each hot spring permanently improves Atsu’s health, it’s a good idea to track down as many as possible. Once you’ve found a few, you’ll notice Atsu can take more hits and last longer in fights — turning him from a fragile samurai into a real powerhouse.
