To The Lighthouse - Ghost of Tsushima.

https://play.3speak.tv/embed?v=naeemulnepun/qqdigk5y

After finding Masako's sons strung up by Mongols, Jin helped her cut them down. They decided to bury them near the local lighthouse where they played as children. Riding together along the shoreline, they shared personal memories before arriving at the beacon and engaging in a fierce combat against Mongol invaders.

I needed to follow Masako as we moved deeper into the area. It looked like the local Mongols had left the dead to rot out in the open. After searching around, we finally found the dead bodies of both of Masako's sons hanged from a large tree.

She cried out in pain upon seeing her sons strung up like animals. They carefully brought them down to the ground.

Masako mentioned that they should be buried alongside their wives and children, but Jin pointed out that the journey back to Ariake was far too dangerous.

He suggested burying them nearby so they would not be subjected to another sacrifice. Masako then thought of the nearby lighthouse, recalling how her sons used to play there when they were young.

She mentioned that everything had been taken over by the invading Mongols, but Jin assured her that they would take it back.

With our plan set, we got ready to head toward the lighthouse. Our horses were waiting, ready to take us on their backs for what promised to be a long ride.

While riding toward our destination, Jin and Masako continued sharing personal stories. Jin spoke about how he felt when his mother died and how he secretly believed he had failed her.

We pressed on toward the lighthouse located at Tsutsu's Point. As we approached, the structure came into full view. It was the Komoda Lighthouse, and it was clear that Mongols were occupying the entire grounds.

Masako immediately charged forward the moment she spotted the enemies. I followed close behind her to join the battle. Just as she had warned, the site was heavily guarded. I prioritized taking out the archers first to reduce the incoming fire while Masako engaged the ground troops.

During the clash, I attempted a jump kick on an archer, but he managed to strike me mid-air. After missing the kick, I quickly recovered and struck him back with my blade.

After cutting down what seemed to be the last enemy nearby, Jin warned Masako to stay ready, as more Mongols could be nearby. Looking down the hill, we saw another wave of enemies making their way up toward us.

This has to be one of Masako's most heartbreaking moments. Seeing her sons hanging there was absolutely brutal.

That moment really showed the full weight of what Masako had lost.

Jin talking about his mother and feeling like he failed her really showed how much pain he keeps buried inside. That conversation hit hard.

I agree, you could really feel how much pain he has been carrying without ever talking about it.

Do you think Jin sharing his memories about his mother helped Masako? Both of them were carrying painful memories.

I definitely think it helped. Masako had been consumed by her search for answers, and hearing Jin talk about his own loss should remind her that grief doesn't have to be faced alone.

Masako didn't even hesitate when she saw the Mongols. She charged straight in like she had been waiting for this moment.

Yeah, she didn't even give them a second to react. She saw the Mongols and immediately went straight for them.
