Wan to know how to observe leaders in Ghost of Tsushima? It's an optional objective for many Mongolian camps you come across, but it's not clear what that means. After all, you probably noticed the camp commander as they ran at you with swords raised, but that doesn't seem to fulfil the brief. If you want a clear explanation on how to observe the leaders of outposts in Ghost of Tsushima, I'll lay it out below.
How do you observe leaders in Ghost of Tsushima?
To observe a leader in Ghost of Tsushima, you first have to find them. Usually, when you're presented with this bonus objective, the leader will be somewhere training, practicing his sword swings. Try your utmost to search the camp stealthily, because if you're spotted, you run the risk of alerting the leader with the sound of you mercilessly slaughtering his men.
When you find the leader, you need to stay hidden. There'll likely be some pampas grass you can crouch in nearby. Then when you're looking at him, you'll be given a button prompt to hold down R2. Completing this will observe the leader from a distance and essentially double the stance points you'll obtain from that camp, because you'll be given more once you kill him.
Observing the leader is a great way to deal with the leader early too. You can't assassinate him from behind, but you can deal a serious amount of damage to him with the same method. Kill him and if you've been efficient, hopefully the rest of the camp still won't know you're there, by which point you can deal with the lesser enemies. Take out most of the Mongol camps in the first act and observe all the leaders to have most of the stances unlocked ready for Act 2.
