Where to Find All Armor in Ghost of Tsushima

broken armor

How to get: This is Jin Sakai's starting armor.

 

Perks:

• ➤Not available.

What is the use: useless armor. Unless you want to make the game even more difficult. According to the description of the armor, it is broken and beyond repair. Thus, any other armor will automatically be better than these.

traveler's clothes

How to get: Jin will get this outfit from the first merchant he talks to in the game.

Perks:

• Allows you to track artifacts with Guiding Wind.
• ➤During your travels, you remove even more fog of war.
• ➤When there is an artifact nearby, the joystick starts to vibrate.

What's the use: Ideal for exploring the world around you, but without any combat bonuses.

Traveler clothing is not intended for combat. Her perks are chosen to make it easier to explore the game world. It is best to use the outfit at the moment when you are trying to find numerous Mongol artifacts or other collectibles. It should also be equipped in order to discover hidden locations, as they will remove the fog of war at a greater distance.

Armor of the samurai clan

How to get: Chat with the armorer in the Golden Temple during Lady Masako's first quest. You will be given this armor. Masako's first quest is a story quest.

Perks:

• ➤Reduces incoming damage.
• ➤Increases health.
• When you take damage, you earn additional resolve.

What is the use: The best protective armor in the game.

Samurai Clan Armor becomes available in just the first couple of hours of the game, and it can be extremely useful until the end of Jin Sakai's adventures. This is the best defensive armor in the game, greatly increasing the survivability of the Ghost. Especially after upgrades.

Since these armors do not represent stealth-related perks, they should be used in direct combat. The perk that allows Resolve to regenerate whenever Jin takes damage can play an important role, as Resolve is what is needed to heal. A good option for confronting bosses in one-on-one duels!

Ronin Outfit

How to get: Jin will receive this armor automatically during the "Blood on the Grass" story quest.

 

Perks:

• ➤Decreases enemy detection speed.
• ➤Increases melee damage.
• If you leave the tall grass crouching, the time of detection by enemies increases.

What is the use: a great option for fans of stealth passage. In a number of quests, it surpasses other Jin armors.

The Ronin Outfit is a useful piece of armor for those who prefer to sneak up on opponents and operate as stealthily as possible. The reduced detection speed works great with the third armor perk, which reduces the same stat when exiting tall grass. Enemies will take much longer to detect you. In addition, armor increases melee damage, so it is great for direct confrontations. But there are no defensive perks here, so you will have to fight as dexterously as possible.

Armor Tadayeri

How to get: Complete the story of the ancient heroes "Legend of Tadayeri". More about these stories described in a separate guide.

Perks:

• ➤Increases bow draw and reload speed.
• ➤Increases the total concentration time (slowdown when shooting from a bow).
• Headshot kills restore some of your Focus.

What is the use: The best armor for those who fight with a bow.

Tadayeri's armor is fully focused on ranged combat. All perks help Jin become a great archer, whether he uses a short bow or a long bow. In particular, you get a huge bonus from two abilities related to concentration. You will be able to use the slow mode much more often to aim at the head of opponents. Just keep hitting headshots and barely leave focus mode.

When used correctly, the Tadayeri armor will allow you to destroy huge enemy groups before anyone can get close to Jin. Just remember to stock up on arrows. Be sure to increase the maximum ammo of the trapper in any refugee camp or village.

Armor Gosaku

How to get: Complete the story of the ancient heroes "Unbreakable Gosaku".

 

Perks:

• ➤Increases health.
• ➤Increases Stagger Damage.
• Killing a stunned enemy restores health points.

What is the use: Possibly the best armor in the game for offensive and direct combat.

The Gosaku armor will allow you to speed up the killing of enemies in direct battles. The increased stagger damage means that with the right stance, Jin will be able to stun the enemy much faster (with attacks on the "triangle"), and then freely attack him with normal blows. This perk alone makes Gosaku's armor the best offensive armor for an aggressive playstyle.

What's more, the fact that killing stunned targets will give you health regeneration can be crucial when you're fighting a huge crowd. Combine all of this with increased health. Jin will be almost impossible to destroy.

kensei armor

How to get: Complete the story of the ancient heroes "Six Blades of Kojiro".

 

Perks:

• ➤Increases the amount of Resolve gained.
• ➤Ghost weapons deal more damage.
• When you attack an enemy with the Ghost's tool, you increase the damage they take and decrease the damage they deal.

What is the use: Possibly the best armor in the game if you use it correctly.

Kensei armor is incredibly powerful, but only if you use its perks correctly. Perhaps this is the most effective armor in the game. She lacks defensive perks, but you will get more determination for literally every action that Jin makes in combat. This will help you build Resolve faster, heal more often, and land special attacks.

But what makes this armor the best are the perks associated with the Ghost weapon. It includes kunai, sticky bombs, normal bombs, and so on. Their use can turn the tide of any battle. Add additional damage with this weapon along with debuffs related to damage taken and dealt and you will be invincible. At least as long as Jin has ammo for throwing weapons.

The only case where the incredibly powerful kensei armor is not so useful is in one-on-one boss fights, during which the Ghost's weapon is simply not available. Even so, the increased resolve perk can make all the difference.

Armor of the Sakai clan

How to get: Obtained during the Ghosts of the Past main quest.

Perks:

• ➤Increased melee damage.
• ➤Increased health.
• ➤Increases the number of opponents you can kill during a confrontation. A successful confrontation chain has a chance to scare nearby enemies.

What is the use: good, versatile armor that is inferior to a number of other narrowly focused armors.

The armor of the Sakai clan is universal, as can be seen from the first two perks that increase health and damage. However, the lack of more specific perks means that these armors are inferior to some others in certain areas.

The only unique thing this armor has is an increase in the confrontation chain. This perk pairs nicely with the rest of the techniques you can unlock for Jin, allowing him to kill up to 5 opponents in a showdown! Provided that all blows are delivered in a timely manner. You will be able to destroy entire groups of enemies without having to fight them. However, this perk is rather situational. Not all enemies can be approached using standoff, the perk is useless during boss fights and story missions when your allies attack enemies first.

Armor of the Ghost

How to get: Obtained during the story quest "From the Shadows".

Perks:

• ➤Reduces the speed of detection by enemies.
• Reduces the number of kills required to activate the Ghost Stance by 1.
• Kills have a chance to scare the nearest enemy.

What is the use: Great armor for more experienced gamers, but its perks are situational.

The Ghost Armor can be extremely useful and effective in the hands of an experienced gamer. To activate the Ghost stance - basically. Jin's most powerful ability is to kill a certain number of enemies without missing a hit. This skill is very useful during major battles. The Ghost Armor will reduce the number of kills required, making it easier to activate the stance.

The meter also fills up with stealth kills, so in a way this armor will be better for stealth players. When destroying the Mongol camp, act stealthily until you fill the gauge, then finish off the remaining enemies in the Ghost stance. Don't ignore the last perk, which increases the chance of scaring the target. As a result, the enemy will drop their weapons and leave the battlefield.

Armor of the Mongol Commander

How to get: Complete the side quest, Tsushima's Tale of Khan, available in Act XNUMX of the game.

Perks:

• ➤Increases health.
• ➤Reduces incoming damage.
• Disguises you outside of combat, significantly reduces the speed of detection of the Mongols.

What is the use: Great for taking out Mongol patrols, but inferior to other armors in direct combat or stealth.

The Mongol Commander's Armor is a unique set primarily used to disguise Jin. The Mongols will have a harder time identifying you, but the armor still lacks more useful perks based on stealth and direct combat. In this sense, it is inferior to many other armors. However, it provides good defensive bonuses.

But the main thing is that the armor of the Mongols cannot be improved! It is only useful if you have missed (yet not received) the opportunity to unlock other armors for Jin.

Fundoshi

How to get: Reward for discovering all hot springs in the game.

 

Perks:

• ➤While running and accelerating, you don't make any noise.

What is the use: obviously inferior to all other armors, but looks funny.

With this armor, you can jump, run, and walk past Mongol patrols without worrying about the noise level. Since you will find all the sources towards the end of the game, there is no special use for the armor. Just for fun.

Sly Cooper Armor

In this case, we are talking about creating a certain image reminiscent of the famous cartoon character Sly Cooper. According to the description of this hidden achievement, you need to dress up as a legendary thief. This is a reference to the Sucker Punch franchise called Sly Cooper. In it, players take on the role of a raccoon who organizes robberies. Let's find out exactly what Jin Sakai must wear to take on the image of Sly Cooper.

To do this, you need to equip three items: the Gosaku armor (read above), the Crooked Kama headband and the Sly Tanuki sword skin. You will also need to find 10 flowers to buy a Gosaku Armor Dye called "Ocean Guardian" from the merchant. It will give the armor a yellow-blue color. It doesn't matter which mask Jin wears. As well as the color of a short or long bow.

To collect all the pieces of equipment, you have to get to the third act of the game. Gosaku's armor is clear, so let's look at two other items of equipment.

 

Headband Crooked Kama

In order to get this item, you need to get to the third act and gain access to the Jogaku Shrine. When you get to the temple, look for a tall pagoda outside its walls. Standing directly below it, jump up and climb to the top, from the corner of the roof. You will need to use the hook to climb up. Move to the top and explore the other side, the furthest from the lake, to find an arrow with this bandage.

Sly Tanuki Sword Skin

You need to find the Pillar of Honor in Kamiagata, but only after reaching the third act. Head to the east coast of Kin Prefecture and look for a peninsula jutting out from the island. It is located east of the trapper's house and northeast of Iwai village. You will need to climb the rocks and cliffs to find a snow-covered observation deck over the ocean and find the pillar itself.

Finally, don't forget to dye Gosaku's armor the color you want (at any merchant for 10 colors), after which the Jin Sakai will look something like this:
