These challenges were sprinkled all over Tsushima as players tackled exploring the large map. Now there are additional Bamboo Strikes for players to find across the Island of Iki as they take on the DLC. Here's where to find them all.
What Are Bamboo Strikes?
Bamboo Strikes are a way for Jin to increase his Resolve in the game. Each time the player starts a Bamboo Strike, it will progress in difficulty until they cut through seven bamboo stalks. After completion, each Bamboo Strike will increase Jin's Resolve.
New players should know that Resolve is Ghost of Tsushima's version of healing. Jin requires Resolve to heal himself whenever he gets injured, to perform certain techniques, and to bring himself back from death.
Tatsu's Ladder Bamboo Strike
The first Bamboo Strike that players may come across while traversing Iki Island is around the northeastern section of the center of the map.

Just east of Tatsu's Ladder and west of Kemono Trail, players will discover this activity. It is near a mountainous area and a lake.
Saru Island Bamboo Strike
Down in the southernmost section of Iki Island, there is a smaller island just off the coast. Players will need to swim their way over to it, but doing so will allow them to reach the Bamboo Strike there. Along with that, players will be able to discover a Pillar of Honor and obtain a new sword kit. When players discover this Bamboo Strike, they will need to spend some bamboo to set up the activity.
Shipwreck Bamboo Strike
On the eastern coast of Iki Island is a shipwreck that players can discover for the next Bamboo Strike, which is positioned just above the shipwreck. On the map, it is north of Zasho Bay and east of Zasho Forest.

Once players arrive at this location, the way to the Bamboo Strike will be blocked. Jin must pull down a wall with his grappling hook before he can get access to the entrance.
Buddha's Footprints Bamboo Strike
This Bamboo Strike is found at the southernmost tip of Iki Island at the bottom of Buddha's Footprints. There are a few other activities in this location for players to discover on top of the Bamboo Strike. Nearby, players can discover the Shrine in Shadow and the Raider's Memorial.
