Ghost of Tsushima features many duels that require both Jin and the player to fight honorably with nothing but their sword to come out on top. Some of these duels are pretty easy if the player is well prepared, but most would agree that Kojiro from the Kensei Armor mythic quest is one of the hardest.
Many players struggle to beat this fight in Ghost of Tsushima, but Redditor sp77ky shared his impressive feat of skill and determination by beating the boss with just one hand. This isn’t like a normal challenge run, though, as sp77ky explains that an accident rendered his dominant right hand disabled and he’s trained himself to do everything one handed.

This is equal parts impressive and inspiring, as the feat in and of itself would be incredibly difficult for anyone to pull off. When paired with the knowledge that sp77ky has overcome this challenge in his life, it becomes all the more uplifting. He even manages to do this without some of Ghost of Tsushima‘s best techniques like Heavenly Strike or Dance of Wrath.
The video shows him doing battle with Kojiro and keeps a “hand cam” in the bottom right corner of the screen. Sp77ky lets the controller rest on his lap and uses one hand to perform all of the actions necessary for besting this boss. That includes repositioning, perfect parrying, dodging, and retaliating. The fight on its own is already impressive, but the fact that he managed to do beat this boss fight with one hand is even more so. He shares his Twitch handle for those that may be interested in watching more gameplay like this, so fans should check out @SpookyBC on Twitch.
In the comments, sp77ky elaborates on his feelings about Ghost of Tsushima and gaming as a whole. He explains that the game is special to him because he relates with Jin’s struggle to overcome seemingly impossible odds. In Jin’s case, this involves fending off an army to save his island, but in sp77ky’s case, it involves finding a way to continue to enjoy his greatest passion. He continues on to say that he’d like to make an example that people truly can do anything they set their mind to, and that this is his way of proving that.
Sp77ky’s feat is no doubt impressive, and he is sure to continue doing amazing things on stream. Fan reaction to his success was overwhelmingly positive as they showered him in praise, disbelief, and Reddit awards. It will be interesting to see what sorts of Ghost of Tsushima challenges he’ll tackle next.
Ghost of Tsushima is available now on PS4.
