Ghost of Tsushima: Hidden Altars
Ghost of Tsushima's Hidden Altars are structures on the island that produce a delightful effect in your surroundings when you bow at them.
Most of them can be identified by a wooden panel showing a bowing samurai. If you bow to this item, the effect will be triggered.
Finding them is a little difficult, as they are not identified by a question mark on the map, unlike the Fox Den, Lighthouse, Shinto Shrine, Bamboo Strike, Pillar of Honor, or Hot Spring.
They do not produce any beneficial effect on your character or provide rewards like armor or weapons.
