You’ll need to visit as many Altar of Reflection locations in Ghost of Yotei as you can. These altars are your primary source of earning skill points for Atsu. As the name suggests, these points of interest are places of worship that Atsu comes across during her journey. When she bows in front of one and pays her respects, she’ll receive a skill point in return.

The more skill points you have, the more useful abilities you can unlock for the protagonist. While you might come across an Altar of Reflection while exploring, you can also grab Traveler’s Maps to make the search easier.

However, if you need further help, here are all of the locations where you can find Altars of Reflection in the game.

Note: This article is a work in progress. We’ll keep adding more locations to the list as and when we find them.
