While adventuring through Ghost of Tsushima, you’ll come across picturesque settings where you can compose haiku. There is a haiku located in each region of Tsushima Island, but some are only accessible via missions. In fact, even if you actively seek them out, you won’t find all the haiku locations in Ghost of Tsushima until you finish the game.
What do you get for completing Haiku in Ghost of Tsushima?
There are 19 haiku in Ghost of Tsushima. Each of them rewards a headband when completed. The headbands are designed based on the theme of the haiku you composed. So, if you complete a poem requiring you to “reflect on fear,” you’ll get the Headband of Fear in return.
Does it matter what you choose when composing a haiku in Ghost of Tsushima?
Each haiku is composed of three lines, and you can choose between three different selections for each line. However, as far as I can tell, those choices don’t have any effect on the game. The haiku you composed will be preserved as the description of each headband you earn, so these choices are just a fun way to personalize those items.
