Ghost of Tsushima: Legends' newTale of Iyoraid only released two days ago, and yet there’s already a group of players capable of beating itsraid boss, Iyo, in under ten minutes. It usually takes a lot of coordination to take down a raid boss, as they’re typically the culmination of all their raid’s mechanics and more, so the fact that some players are already finding ways to speedrun Iyo is certainly impressive.
YouTuber LowKeyValkyrie uploaded a video of herTale of Iyoraid teamconfronting Iyo, and it shows that the group managed to beat her in only 6 minutes — 6 minutes and 34 seconds, to be exact. For the sake of clarity, the video doesn’t cover the entire raid; it just covers the whole of the raid’s Chapter 3, which is the final section and where Iyo spawns. That said, it’s still impressive that people are already close to destroying Iyo in five minutes, especially without resorting to cheating or the like.

Before moving forward, there are minor spoilers ahead for those who haven’t had the chance to take on theTale of Iyojust yet.Sucker Punch implemented one of the best things aboutGhost of Tsushimainto the raid. Many factors go into beating Iyo, but the primary one revolves around the duel players have with her. One player duels with Iyo at a time, while the rest of the team helps in their own way. The better at duels the player is, the faster they’ll be able to defeat Iyo.
The two videos show the raid from both Valkyrie’s point of view and the view of her duelist, Lord_Troglodyte.Ghost of Tsushima: Legendshad over 2 million people playing itwhen it first launched, so it’s certainly possible that there are teams with better times than Valkyrie’s, but Valkyrie’s deserves props for their feat nonetheless.
It’ll be interesting to see what kind of completion times theGhost of Tsushimacommunity will pull off as the raid gets a little older. A lot of players would definitely like to see speed runs of theTale of Iyo’s Chapter 2, as it’s widely considered the most challenging part of the raid to complete thanks to its obelisks and the crystals. Overall, though, players will be speedrunning the raid in its entirety soon enough. Many are probably already thinking about the next thingSucker Punch has in store forGhost of Tsushima: Legends.
