1. What Are Hidden Altars?

Hidden Altars are unmarked locations across Tsushima where Jin can bow to pay respects to fallen warriors or the spirits of the island. Recognized by signs depicting a bowing samurai, these altars trigger special environmental effects—such as butterflies fluttering, fish jumping, or birds appearing—when honored correctly.

To activate a Hidden Altar:

• Stand in front of the altar.
• Swipe down on the touchpad to make Jin bow.
• If the event triggers, the altar is counted.

You only need to find 10 Hidden Altars to unlock the Honor the Unseen trophy, but we’ll cover 11 in case one glitches.
