Unlocking the Secrets: How Ghost of Yotei’s Wolf Can Track Like KCD2’s Mutt!

by

Summary

  • Atsu in Ghost of Yotei seeks revenge on the Yotei Six for killing her family.
  • Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s Mutt sets a new standard for companion utility with tracking abilities.
  • Implementing a tracking mechanic for Atsu’s wolf companion in Ghost of Yotei could enhance immersion in the gameplay.

As the upcoming Fall 2025 launch of the Ghost of Yotei from Sucker Punch gets closer, the developer has been gradually revealing more details about its narrative. In this story, Atsu is on a mission to track down a band of six individuals, currently referred to as the “Yotei Six.” They were responsible for burning her homestead and murdering her family when she was just a child. This traumatic event propelled Atsu onto a vengeful quest in Ghost of Yotei, aiming to exact revenge on each member of the Yotei Six. By doing so, she hopes to find closure for the pain they caused her and avenge the untimely deaths of her parents.

From what we’ve seen so far, Atsu appears to encounter a wolf on her journey, which seems destined to become a loyal traveling partner. While some scenes in the trailers for “Ghost of Yotei” suggest that the wolf will aid Atsu in battle, this wasn’t entirely unexpected given its initial appearance. However, as Atsu pursues the group responsible for her family’s death and the destruction of her home, it’s possible that the wolf may serve other purposes as well. This additional role could be influenced by Mutt from “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.”

Ghost of Yotei’s Wolf Could Do More Than Help in Combat

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s Mutt Sets the Standard for Companion Utility

In “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2”, the depiction of medieval Bohemia is meticulously brought to life with numerous interactive systems for players to employ. However, it’s the manner in which Mutt, Henry’s canine companion, is utilized that sets a new benchmark for companion functionality. Upon acquiring Mutt in “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2”, players will soon realize that his abilities extend beyond combat. Equipped with a special tracking skill, Mutt can aid players in completing certain tasks more swiftly and effectively, making him an invaluable asset in your journey through the game.

In the hypothetical game “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2”, players can initiate tracking with Mutt by locating an aromatic item linked to a specific person or object and handing it over to him for his olfactory examination. Once Mutt has picked up a scent from what or whom you’re trying to locate, stay nearby and observe his actions. Mutt may eventually guide you towards your next quest objective by exhibiting certain behaviors.

In “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2”, players can navigate an expansive world modeled on medieval Bohemia using various systems, but how it manages Henry’s pet dog, Mutt, raises the bar for companion functionality.

During the quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, while it’s not mandatory for players to employ Mutt, his tracking skills can certainly make the objectives easier to accomplish and enhance the overall immersive experience. Instead of Mutt just being a combat-assisting pet, players can integrate him more dynamically into their questing journey, provided that the quests involve items relevant to his tracking abilities.

A Tracking Mechanic for the Wolf Would Help Atsu Hunt Down the Yotei Six

In the game Ghost of Yotei, instead of using objective markers or Guiding Wind for players to follow while they hunt members of the Yotei Six, it could introduce mechanics akin to those in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2‘s Mutt. This way, Atsu’s wolf companion would not only serve as an aid but also enhance the gameplay experience by making it more immersive and engaging, much like how Ghost of Yotei seeks to provide a highly immersive gaming experience.

In the preview of the game “Ghost of Yotei,” it appears that a wolf is leading Atsu, suggesting that similar interactive mechanics may be present in the game, having possibly been developed already.

As players advance in the story of Ghost of Yotei, they might come across relics such as remnants of the Yotei Six’s garments or an ancient weapon that the wolf can use to trace each member of the team. Additionally, Atsu could collect data from various quests and conversations with NPCs, but having her wolf companion possess a tracking ability similar to Mutt would be an exciting bonus feature. If Sucker Punch decides to implement this idea, it’s ready for execution; however, we’ll have to wait and see if they choose to go ahead with it.
