After seeing the gameplay video, players were excited to see that stealth was incorporated in Ghostwire: Tokyo. However, for anyone that’s tried it in the game, you’ll know that moving while crouched can be extremely slow and can require a lot of patience and good timing.

Blocking is a crucial mechanic in Ghostwire. It helps you avoid damage from the enemies. However, a normal block will still cause you some damage – albeit extremely minor damage. If you get Tatenui 1, you’ll be able to do the “Perfect Block”. It allows you to take no damage and does not drain your stamina while you are using it.

Plus, if you time your block just right, it will stagger the enemy; allowing you to land a quick counterattack of your own. If you want to know how to do the perfect block, let us know in the comments below and we’ll write a guide just for you!
