Ghost of Tsushima has 16 Bamboo Strike Locations (+4 in Iki Island). Finding all Bamboo Strikes is needed for the Body, Mind, and Spirit trophy. This guide shows all their locations.
None of the Bamboo Strike Collectibles are missable! It doesn’t matter what dialogue choices or what ending you pick during the story. You can still get all of them after the story in free-roam. You can reveal them on the map as question marks by liberating all of the Occupied Mongol Territories.
However, Bamboo Strike #5 at Hiyoshi Springs does not get marked on the map with a question mark. If you’re missing a Bamboo Strike it’s likely that one.
The Bamboo Strikes have you cut through some bamboo with your Katana by pressing the displayed buttons quickly. They also increase your Resolve (the yellow dots above your health bar), which allows you to heal more often or use more Mythic Techniques in combat.
