By Dave Aubrey

Altars of Reflection are possibly the most important point of interest on your map that you can possibly come across in Ghost of Yotei. Each Altar of Reflection grants Atsu with a skill point to spend in a variety of skill trees, and each of these skills can make Atsu a far more capable warrior and even explorer, making uncovering the secrets of Ezo far easier.
There are loads of Altars of Reflection to find and they’re not clearly labelled in-game, but in this guide we’re listing the name of every Altar of Reflection, how many there are in each area, and giving you map screenshot locations so you can find each one easily in every area.
