Ghostwire: Tokyo – How Long Does It Take to Beat? How to Beat Ko-omote?

Many modern video game developers have developed an annoying habit of cramming so much content into their games that they can often end up feeling bloated. This isn’t a complaint that could ever be levied against Ghostwire: Tokyo beat though, at least not when it comes to the game’s main story, anyway. It ultimately offers a remarkably streamlined experience, which players are able to complete in a surprisingly short amount of time.

Ghostwire: Tokyo – How Long to Beat?

Though some players will no doubt be a little disappointed with how brief the main story is, others may well find it a little refreshing, particularly at a time when other developers are bragging about how their games will take hundreds of hours to complete. Many people just don’t have time for that due to their personal and professional commitments, and so should really appreciate what Ghostwire: Tokyo has to offer.

How Long Does it Take to Beat Ghostwire: Tokyo?

Most players will need somewhere between ten and fifteen hours to complete Ghostwire: Tokyo’s six-chapter main story. This is assuming that they ignore pretty much all of the side content though, which can help to pad out the game’s length quite a bit for anyone looking to get a little more bang for their buck. This includes a number of unique and enjoyable side quests, as well as the inevitable collectible sets that have become synonymous with modern sandbox games.

Those who endeavor to track down every collectible, complete every side quest, and unlock every trophy/achievement can expect to spend around 30 hours or so with the game. It’s worth noting though that this time can vary quite a bit depending on how thorough players are, whether or not they use guides, and how quickly they’re able to master the game’s combat. However, with multiple difficulty settings available right from the get-go, most players shouldn’t have too much trouble tailoring the level of challenge to their own skill level.

How to Beat Ko-omote in Ghostwire: Tokyo (Stealth)

Like Yaseotoko before her, Ko-omote will transform into a Yokai just before the fight begins. After she transforms, she’s able to separate KK and Akito, forcing the latter to fight her without access to any of his Ethereal powers. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, fighting her head-on is going to lead to players having a very bad time, with stealth and stun-based strategies offering much safer solutions to this potentially troublesome fight.

In order to beat Ko-omote, players will need to pull out all three of her tails. This is easier said than done though, as melee attacks and arrows just seem to bounce right off her, while her attacks are capable of shredding through the player’s health bar very quickly if they’re not careful. To combat this, KK suggests that players take a more stealthy approach instead, which turns out to be a pretty solid idea.

During the fight, Ko-omote will walk around the battle area, periodically stopping in order to look around for Akito. If players can get behind her without her noticing, they’ll be able to Quick Purge one of her tails by pressing the L2 button. There are a few vents that grant access to the central building, which can be very useful for getting behind her, though players should be mindful that if she sees them enter the vents, she’ll release some noxious gas which can cause a lot of damage.

Annoyingly, even if players use Skill Points to unlock the ability that increases player movement speed while crouching, Akito is still nowhere near fast enough to keep up with Ko-omote while she’s on the move. As such, it’s best to wait near the entrance to one of the vents until she passes and then sneak out behind her, as she tends to stop in the corners of the battle area more often than not. Alternatively, though, players can take a more forceful and time-efficient approach to proceedings.

How to Beat Ko-omote in Ghostwire: Tokyo (Force)

Scattered around the battle area are a number of floating red Ether crystals, which will explode if hit with an arrow. If Ko-omote is in range when they go off, she’ll be stunned for five or six seconds, allowing players to get behind her and yank out one of her tails without the risk of attack. For most players, this method will likely be much easier and faster to pull off, as it’s possible to complete the fight in a matter of minutes if all goes to plan.

Though definitely a lot riskier than the stealth-based strategy, players can lead Ko-omote over to the red Ether crystals rather than having to wait until she’s in the right place. If they run out of arrows, they’ll be able to find a few extra quivers by heading inside the vents. However, as mentioned above, they should be careful to avoid being trapped by Ko-omote’s gas attack if they do decide to head inside.

Whichever strategy players opt for, pulling out Ko-omote’s third and final tail will instantly end the fight, which leads to the Yokai exploding and KK and Akito being reunited once again. After another cut-scene, the man in the Hannya mask and his wife will leave, and Chapter 3 will come to an end. Assuming that this is the player’s first time completing it, they will also unlock the “Connection” trophy/achievement at this time.
