Ghostwire: Tokyo - Tatsui Shrine Tanuki Location

Ghostwire: Tokyo, like many other games of the open world genre, has a plethora of side quests and collectibles to get lost in while completing the main quest line. Early in the game, players will be introduced to Boss Tanuki, who will inform the player that he has lost sight of all his 25 Tanuki companions.

Players of Ghostwire: Tokyo will then be tasked with hunting down these elusive Tanuki and returning them to the boss. The Tanuki are very sneaky, however, since they are hiding from the Visitor scourge. They are able to disguise themselves as inanimate objects throughout the streets, alleys, and rooftops of Tokyo.

There is a fatal flaw in the Tanuki disguise: they cannot hide their tail, so it will be sticking out from whatever object it is that they are mimicking. This makes them much easier for the player to discover, and in combination with the player's Spectral Vision, they can be sussed out fairly easily, since their tail is included in the highlighted outline.

Another way of locating Tanuki is by reading the thoughts of the wandering cats and dogs that litter the Tokyo streets. They can provide clues and hints as to the whereabouts of the fluffy cousins if they are in a nearby location. Additionally, the player may come across Offering Boxes at certain shrines, which will allow them to donate an amount and make a certain request, one of these being the location of Tanuki if applicable. These Offering Boxes will only reveal the location of collectibles within their respective shrine borders, so keep this in mind.
