In the Ghost of Tsushima expansion, "Iki Island," players can find a series of hidden side stories known as "unwritten tales." These special quests are not marked on the map or in Jin's journal, making them easy to miss. Completing five of the six available unwritten tales is required to unlock the "Common Courtesy" bronze trophy.Here is a guide to help you find and complete each of these unmarked quests.
