Removing afflictions from spirits is a relatively simple method that involves you following a set pattern in order to draw a hand sign and then release the energy in order to remove the affliction. Sounds simple right? But did you know there’s actually a much faster way to remove afflictions in Ghostwire Tokyo?

Quick Method for Removing Afflictions:

A faster method for removing afflictions in Ghostwire Tokyo is to memorize the two patterns that you use to dispel afflictions. One of them looks like a Shuriken and the other one looks like an hourglass. Once you do that, make sure you cast the entire hand seal as soon as you see the first pattern emerge and then release to immediately remove them without sitting through the entire animation for it.

And its as simple as that, this is how you can make quick work of the plentiful afflictions present all around the streets and buildings of Tokyo in Ghostwire Tokyo.
