Here you can find a full Ghost of Tsushima Walkthrough with a Missions List including all Tales (Side Quests, Mythic Tales, Main Missions). Ghost of Tsushima has 24 Jin’s Journey Tales (Main Story Missions), 61 Tales of Tsushima (Side Quests / Side Tales), 7 Mythic Tales (Mythic Quests).
This Walkthrough will guide you through every mission step by step including the starting locations and unlock requirements. Completing all 61 Tales of Tsushima unlocks the Helping Sword Hand trophy. Completing all 7 Mythic Tales unlocks the Teller of Tales trophy. Nothing is missable, you can still do all Side Tales and Mythic Tales after the story in free-roam. It also doesn’t matter what dialogue choices and ending you choose, this won’t impact any quests, collectibles or trophies. Choose as you like.
The game consists of 3 Acts that take place over 3 different regions. You start out in the south of Tsushima Island (Izuhara Region), then go to the middle (Toyotama Region), and end up in the north (Kamiagata Region). The story missions alone take roughly 15 hours when ignoring everything else and the side quests add another 15 hours roughly. You can play the missions in different order. Even main quests can be played in a different order.
Main Missions have Golden Icons on the map, Side Missions have Silver Icons on the map (the ones with a face are part of a questline, the ones with 4 dots are single quests), Mythic Tales have Blue Icons on the map. You can keep track of your progress in the Journal at the Pause Menu.

Hi there,
After I progressed to ACT 2, Kenji’s first mission, Servant of the people, is missing. I am not sure if it is a glitch. Did someone happened as well? Many thanks!
Taiming
Taiming says
Found it. Have to liberate the village and then the quest will show up.
Sean says
So far the only mission glitch i’ve had is during ‘The River Children’ in Act 2. Save before this mission. When you examine first clue regardless of which clue you’ll just freeze on the spot. Loading checkpoint didn’t work but exiting the game and selecting Continue worked for me
Ash says
Where’s mission 9 of ishikawa on the list?
PowerPyx says
Region 2 – Laid to Rest (Ishikawa Tale 9 of 9)
robzeta says
The Cost of Fear was buggy for me and didn’t show up on map, was only missing one trophy for platinum. Thanks to you list I checked all completed tales it found out that this is the one I was missing.
I went to the spot were the tales is supposed to start and the friggin guy was there!! That was a huge relief reading about the bugs, I was scary as sh*t! Thanks for your help 🙂
Nickie says
There are 24 main missions (9+9+6), unless you are including the prologue as one.
A debt repaid and the cost of fear were both glitched on my game. Thank you for providing photos & list of tales to help me sort that out. Platinumed the game this morning
David says
It says 25 story missions but you only list 24. I have all missions listed complete and still all tales trophy won’t pop
PowerPyx says
24 is correct, I was counting the Prologue as an extra.
