Ghost of Tsushima Singing Cricket Locations Guide

Ghost of Tsushima Singing Crickets are collectibles and unique items that must be discovered while exploring the Island of Tsushima. The Ghost of Tsushima Crickets are very important because they allow you to change the weather. Once found, Jin will be able to play different flute songs.

Usually, the locations of the Singing Crickets can be found through exploration; however, you will be able to find them faster if you use maps and if you know how to track them down. Keep in mind that there are 20 Singing Crickets in the video game, and you’ll need to find at least 5 in order to unlock the Lament of the Storm song for your flute. This song helps you unlock the Dirge of the Fallen Forge Trophy.

To find these Ghost of Tsushima collectibles, you have two options. The first one is through exploration and using the guiding wind. Alternatively, you can use the maps below and visit the marked locations without looking for them. The second method is faster.

The Singing Crickets collectibles can be found during the story or after you finish Jin’s tale. You don’t need to find all of them for the Platinum Trophy, but only 5. This guide reveals all of them, though.

Assuming you want to find all of them by yourself, the first thing you need is the Traveller’s Attire. This can be obtained in the first region (Izuhara) by talking to the merchant in the Survivor Camp northwest of Hyioshi Springs. After you get the armor, you’ll have to find at least one Singing Cricket to unlock them in the game.

The moment you unlock the entry in your Artifacts tab, open the game’s map and press Right on your D-Pad to select the Guiding Wind Target. Then select the Undiscovered Singing Crickets option at the bottom. On your map, you will see a line that will lead you to the next Singing Cricket, and if you slide your finger up on the TouchPad while exploring the world, the Guiding Wind will show you the way.

Keep in mind that these Ghost of Tsushima collectibles are found in cemeteries, and you’ll have to clear all Mongols waiting for you. After you find all Singing Crickets in Ghost of Tsushima, it is time to put them to good use.

For every five Crickets you have found, you have unlocked a new song for your flute. To see them, press Options on your controller, navigate to the Gear tab, and then to Accessories. Now select the second tab showing a man playing the flute, and you should see the following songs, each of them featuring a type of weather:

• The Sun’s Warm Embrace – Sunny Weather
• Lament of the Storm – Stormy Weather
• Shadows in the Fog – Foggy Weather
• A Chorus of Raindrops – Rainy Weather

Select one of them by pressing X to equip it, then return to the game. Now, slide your finger from right to left on your TouchPad, and Jin will start playing a song. Pay close attention to the weather, which starts changing.

Aside from changing the weather whenever you want, there is also a trophy you can unlock using the Lament of the Storm Song. This can be obtained by traveling to Taka’s Grave, east of Yarikawa Stronghold.

When you get there, look for a grave at the edge of the cliff, then select the Lament of the Storm song from your inventory, follow the steps above, and start playing it for Taka. This will unlock the said trophy.
