In Ghost of Yotei, players need to discover 10 Special Place locations to unlock the “Speaking with the Land” trophy. This guide provides the exact locations of all Special Places required to earn the trophy.
In Ghost of Yotei, Special Places are often marked by a small “bowing sign”. You need to stand near the sign and make the character bow in front of it. If performed correctly, you’ll notice the nature respond in subtle and beautiful ways like butterflies fluttering around you, birds taking flight, or fish leaping from the water. These natural reactions are signs that you’ve paid proper respect to the land. However, not every Special Place bears a bowing sign. Some are having graffiti on walls, ancient statues, or other mysterious spots. If your bow triggers a noticeable environmental effect, it will still count as a Special Place
