In Ghostwire Tokyo, players encounter flying spirits called Tengu. They are harmless and can be used to scale high buildings. This guide lets you know how to use them, how to use the upgraded Tengu skill, and more.
To use the upgraded Tengu Skill called “Amenotori X”, you must first aim at a ledge to instantly spawn a Tengu. On the PC, you can aim using the right mouse button. This is “LT” for a controller. Then, press the designated button (A or Space Bar) to grapple.
If you want to scale a building that is a bit too far from your location, you can glide and then aim at the ledge to climb up.
You won’t be able to get to high buildings using only Amenotori X as there is a limit to its range. In order to scale higher structures, you must find ones that you can scale first and then work your way up. If the distance is not too far, you can make use of buses and lamp posts to reach the required range to spawn a Tengu.
As the skill “Amenotori X” requires a Magatama to unlock, the first time you can realistically get this upgrade is during Chapter 3 in the story mission “Blindness”. The map opens more after you break the barrier, allowing you to go around and do side quests to collect the requirement of 7 Magatama. As it requires a large number of Magatama, upgrading this skill can be a chore at first but it is definitely worth it.
In Chapter 3, as some parts of the map are still locked, you can get more Magatama by playing side quests. These side quests often appear after you cleanse a Torii gate so be sure to check your map after cleansing.
The first time you encounter a Tengu is during the “Maze of Death” story mission in Ghostwire: Tokyo’s Chapter 1. To reach the target Torii, you must make use of a Tengu to scale the heights.
