Ghost Of Yotei: Benefits Of Cleaning And Sheathing Weapons

Swiping right on the controller’s touchpad prompts Atsu to sheathe her weapon. If there is blood on the weapon, she will often engage in an animation of cleaning it before sheathing. There are a few variations to this animation, depending on the weapon you used for the fight.

There is no practical advantage to cleaning your weapon in Ghost of Yotei. It is more of a stylistic approach to the gameplay, emphasising Atsu’s combat prowess and respect towards her weapons. The same feature was also available to Jin Sakai in Ghost of Tsushima.

Sheathing your weapon allows for an ease of movement in Ghost of Yotei. While you can do it manually, Atsu will also automatically do it after some time outside of combat.
