There are a lot of powerful weapons in "The Soul of Mount Yotei", but when it comes to being more handsome to use, the twin swords must count as one. To unlock the twin swords and use them well, you need some operations. The first is unlocking. When you advance the plot and receive a mission that requires you to go to Mount Yotei to find the twin sword master Hanbei, the journey to unlock the twin swords officially begins. Master Hanbei is located far to the west of Atsushi's home. You can find him by walking along the edge of the forest.
How to use the Soul of Mount Yotei twin swords
The process of unlocking the dual swords is not complicated, and it is closely connected with the main mission of the game. When you advance the plot and receive a mission that requires you to go to Mount Yotei to find Hanbei, the master of the double swords, the journey to unlock the double swords officially begins. Master Hanbei is located far to the west of Atsushi's home. You can find him by walking along the edge of the forest. On the way to your destination, you can pay attention to collect some readily available materials, such as flowers, ores, and mushrooms, which may come in handy in subsequent games. In addition, you will also see some loot boxes along the way. These boxes usually contain cash or crafting materials such as steel. Don’t miss them. After a while, you will reach the mission area.
After you visit Hanbei, the master of double swords, he will take Atsushi to a small camp and ask her to pick up the sword near the fire pit. Interact with the sword and the training session officially begins. Your first mission is to knock down hot coals from the air with the katana in your left hand. When the coals just start to fall from the arc, it's time to start hitting. Even if you don’t hit them all, don’t worry too much, this is just the beginning of training.
In the next scene, Hanbei will ask you why you are training, and you have two answers to choose from: "For revenge" and "To honor my father." Either option is fine, and in Ghost of Mount Yotei most dialogue options do not change the outcome of the quest or the overall story.
Hanbei's training mainly focuses on strengthening Atsushi's left arm so that she can wield two katana swords at the same time. You'll need to complete a few bamboo strikes so he can test the strength of your arm swing. According to the master, both arms need to be equally strong to successfully swing both katana swords, which does make sense. Don't worry if you fail on your first round of bamboo hits. Failure triggers a cutscene that gives you more background on Ben's history as well as some important flashback sequences.
This montage of dual sword training is designed to help you gradually master the skills of using dual swords. Once you successfully complete the final bamboo attack, you'll be attacked by Lord Saito's invaders on the mountain. This also means that the training course is over and you can hold two swords at the same time! Hanbei will personally teach you how to use the double swords correctly in actual combat during this battle. The Dual Knives are best against enemies armed with spears, as their rapid attacks can break down their defenses faster. And since most of the enemy encounters in the game involve spearmen, the dual swords are highly practical and worth checking out, and they're also pretty cool to use.
In the "Yotei Mountain" battle, the power of your weapon depends on the weapon used by the enemy. The game has a "weapon calibration" skill, which not only means that enemies are vulnerable to the weapon you're currently holding. What's more, using a weapon that counters an enemy increases their "stagger" damage, allowing you to break through blocks faster. It also allows you to break an enemy's attack chain with a heavy hit. The specific details are as follows:
Katana (R2+Block): Powerful against enemies holding katana and swords.
Dual Swords (R2+X): Powerful against enemies armed with guns, naginata and polearms.
Gun (R2+Triangle): Good at fighting enemies holding scythes, lock scythes and double scythes.
Odachi (R2+L2): Effective against large enemies and beasts.
Lock Sickle (R2+Circle): Powerful against shields and enemies with shields.
To swap weapons, simply hold R2 and use X, triangle, square, and circle to select the desired weapon.
In combat, once you're able to break through an enemy's defenses with your swords, they'll stagger and let you slash with both blades. However, the twin swords, like all weapons in Ghost of Mount Yotei, are free against all types of enemies, but they may take longer to successfully break through against a ferocious samurai or an armored samurai unless you further increase their power.
As a result of pursuing Saito and his troops, Atsushi inevitably gained a "notoriety". After completing a specific mission, the game plays a short bounty video. As the bounty continues to increase, Atsushi finds himself hunted by ronin eager to get their hands on the bounty.
After completing "The Way of the Two Blades", Atsushi will receive her first bounty title, "Vengeance Mercenary". Along comes the rogues, who will hunt you down everywhere to collect the bounty, so you have to be careful and be prepared at any time.
