Do the First Two Missions for Ghost of Tsushima

Do the First Two Missions

It is important that you resist the temptation of rushing off into Tsushima's big open world as soon as the game lets you and instead complete the first two missions. Failing to do so will result in you not picking up the bow and your enemy-detecting listening sense which are both locked behind these first two missions. Having these two tools at your disposal is crucial because without them you will lack a ranged attack option and the ability to locate enemies out of sight.
