Ghost of Tsushima - Horizon Forbidden West Armor: How To Complete Forbidden Shrine

Following the new update in Ghost of Tsushima, Jin can don the new armor set from Horizon Forbidden West.

By Mark Delaney on February 10, 2022 at 7:21AM PST

Ghost of Tsushima got an update earlier this week that offered a few different changes, and headlining the patch is a new armor set inspired by Horizon Forbidden West . Sucker Punch has tucked away another Wind Shrine to the north of the map, and if you complete it, you'll earn the Seeker's Attire and Sign of the Hunter headband, both of which look plucked right out of Guerrilla's upcoming science-fiction sandbox. Here's how to complete the Forbidden Shrine puzzle and earn the free crossover armor for yourself. You'll be able to enjoy it for about a week until you can play Forbidden West for real.

Ghost of Tsushima new update - Forbidden Shrine

The Forbidden West crossover can only be obtained if you have the Iki Island expansion , which comes as part of Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut. Head to the northernmost point of Iki Island to Raider Promontory. Take out the small group of raiders here, then look to the statue overlooking the disquieted ocean.

This is the Forbidden Shrine. At the foot of the statue is a scroll featuring a riddle. It reads: "The old world is gone. Though life is never-ending. Focus your spirit. Take up the Archer's mantle. A Seeker must aim for truth."

This is rather cryptic, but the archer they allude to is probably Aloy from Horizon, though you'll need the help of your own in-universe archer to solve the puzzle. In your gear menu, put on Tadayori's armor or his straw hat--either one will do. You get this armor from having beaten The Legend of Tadayori in the original game. When equipped, you'll be able to use the famed archer's focus ability (by pressing the touch pad) to see weak points on the statue. They'll glow red, with two on the front of the statue and one more on the back. Fire arrows at all three of these in no specific order, and that's it.

A short cutscene will play out showing Jin bowing at the statue and wearing the special armor. From then on, your Tadayori armor set will include an alternate skin that gives Jin a matching set with Aloy, not unlike some of the other crossover armor we've seen in Ghost of Tsushima, such as God of War, Shadow of the Colossus, and Bloodborne. You can continue upgrading the armor if you haven't yet, and each upgrade will give you buffs to your bow skills, such as increased nocking and reload speed, better concentration time, and allowing headshots to refill your concentration meter.

Armor consists of body armor, headgear and masks that Jin Sakai can wear throughout the game. There are a total of 14 (formerly 15) armor sets, 53 headbands, 32 hats, 16 helmets, 40 half masks, and 9 full masks which can be acquired. It should be noted that only armor sets will provide Jin with different abilities and perks; all other gear is purely cosmetic. The different armor equipped favors the style of gameplay – for example, archery fans might prefer Tadayori's Armor and fans of stand-offs might prefer the Sakai Clan Armor.

Every set of armor, besides the Broken Armor , Deadly Rival's Attire , and Archery Master's Attire can be upgraded to enhance the abilities they provide. Furthermore, each upgradeable set of armor, besides the Ronin Attire , Fundoshi , Mongol Commander's Armor , and Hero of Tsushima Armor will change in appearance upon being upgraded. It should be noted that after the third level has been achieved, further upgrades will no longer alter the appearance of the outfit, but the armor can be changed to it's previous appearance prior to the upgrade.

Ghost Of Tsushima Director's Cut: How To Unlock Jin Sakai's Horse Armor

Getting the Sakai Horse Armor is one of the more involved side quests involving stealth, puzzles, and combat. Here's what you need to know.

There are two Mythic Tales in the Iki Island expansion that came with Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut . Unlike the Mythic Tales in the main game, these do not unlock skills and techniques. Instead, they unlock armor.

Related: Ghost Of Tsushima: Where To Find Every Hidden Tale On Iki Island

One of them unlocks the Saragumi Armor for Jin Sakai. The second gives you a special piece of armor for your horse. This Mythic Tale is not the easiest of them and involves several different steps, including stealth, climbing through a shipwreck, and combat while riding the horse. With this guide, you should have no problem getting through the quest in no time.

Where To Find The Mythic Tale

The quest to obtain the horse armor is called the Legacy of Kazumasa Sakai. Like most Mythic Tales, you find it from a storyteller. This one is at the Sheltered campsite on Zasho Bay.

When the man first starts telling the story, Jin Sakai ends up revealing his identity and he is kicked out of the camp. This prompts the stealth section where you have to sneak back into the village to hear the rest of the story.

Sneaking Into The Camp

There are several paths into the camp, but this one seems to have the least resistance. To the right of the entrance, there is a natural rock formation that creates a small tunnel.

Related: Ghost Of Tsushima Director's Cut: How To Embody The Spirit Of The Monkey For The Monkey See Trophy

Climb the rocks to the right of this tunnel and then head left towards the village (you are now above it and should be able to look down on it). You will then take another left and climb a ladder down into the campsite. Take a right and walk across the wooden beam and tightrope walk onto the roof in front of you.

Descend the roof from the side facing away from the campsite and crawl through the small opening (you will be prompted by the R2 button). Climb the ladder inside the house and on the first floor, you will see a marker for you to stand on. Go to it and press R2 to eavesdrop and hear the rest of the story.

The storyteller talks about Jin's father and his horse's armor. After Kazumasa Sakai's death, various people wore the armor until one day it was lost at sea.

Related: Ghost Of Tsushima Director's Cut: Eagle Duel Boss Guide

After hearing about the armor, you can easily sneak out by jumping back on the roof you descended from and climbing onto a ledge on the backside of the roof. Then head to Zasho Bay close by - the area is marked on your map.

Navigating The Shipwreck On Zasho Bay

Successfully traversing this area is tricky. The best piece of advice we can give you is to not try any shortcuts. You cannot simply swim your way towards the merchant ship; you have to use the other ships to maneuver your way to the horse armor.

Start by climbing the same rock formation as before except this time taking a right instead of a left. Swing from the two masts and jump to the rope below . Continue forward, walking on the two wooden beams. After the second beam, take a left and jump down below to pull down the mast with the grappling hook. Use it to swing across the water.

On the other end of the rock formation, walk across the wooden beam and jump into the water below - the wooden beam should give way automatically and you will fall without having to jump.

Swim through the hole in front of you and continue swimming straight through the shipwreck. Once on the other side take a left and swim through the other hole. On the other end of the area here is a mast you can similarly pull down.

Once that is done, start swimming back. Once you swim out from under the shipwreck from where you came, head to the right - the opposite side from where you fell into the water. There is a wrecked boat being propped up by a piece of wood . Use the grappling hook to tear it down. You should then be able to climb the boat. Ahead there are three masts you can use to swing forward.

You are now on another wrecked boat. Pull down the mast in the middle and walk across it . Then, walk across the rope to your left and jump to the rock below. Remember this specific rock, because it is where you will swim back to if you fail the next part.

Here is where things get a little trickier. Waves are smashing against the rocks in front of you. If you are on the rocks while a wave is hitting, you will be knocked into the water. If this happens, simply swim to the previously mentioned rock. To avoid the waves here, move only right after a wave crashes. If you are walking along the rope, you are safe from getting knocked down.

The boat stuck on the rock in front of you is your objective. Jump into the water and swim forward to the rock on the other side. There is a mast in the middle you can climb on but it will fall once you jump on it, so ignore it . Walk across the rope and jump to the rock and you will see a white cloth that indicates you can grapple and climb the side of the boat. Inside the boat is the horse armor.

Defending The Campsite

Once you have the armor, you return to the campsite which coincidentally comes under attack from the Mongols. Defeat the enemies on the beach either through traditional means or by using your horse charge - it comes in handy here since many of the enemies are lined up. Speak to the survivors and the residents of the camp will see that you defended them, earning you their trust.

Ghost of Tsushima: How to Unlock the God of War Armor at Shrine of Ash

Ghost of Tsushima's Iki Island includes a Shrine of Ash puzzle that unlocks an armor set for Jin Sakai that is themed after God of War's Kratos.

This week, developer Sucker Punch Studios released the Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut for PlayStation 5, which boosts the game’s performance on the new hardware and includes a story expansion to the main game. Set exclusively on the new Iki Island , the add-on for Ghost of Tsushima features a decent-sized locale for players to explore and some secrets to uncover as well.

One of the secrets tucked within the Iki Island expansion for Ghost of Tsushima is an armor set themed after the God of War franchise. In order to unlock the God of War armor in Ghost of Tsushima , players will need to find the Shrine of Ash on Iki Island and complete its riddle.

RELATED: Ghost of Tsushima Iki Island DLC Trophy List

Ghost of Tsushima players will find the Shrine of Ash in the Eastern portion of Iki Island, a little off the coast and slightly South of the top of the map. Players can use the below map to go straight to the Shrine of Ash or they can venture around the general area and then follow the yellow bird that appears to guide them.

How to Complete the Shrine of Ash Puzzle

Players will know that they have arrived at the Shrine of Ash almost immediately. Each of the unique Shrines on Ghost of Tsushima ’s Iki Island is themed after a different Sony title and has some items that reference said game. In the Shrine of Ash’s case, there is a Marked Tree (the white one with the yellow hand on it) from the 2018 reboot and a chain sprawled across the base of it.

Where the chain ends is a scroll that the player can pick up and read. It says: “In fall, a tree fruits which grow from seed to sapling, a stranger and son. Boy, honor your father’s fight. Show him the strength of your blade.”

These riddles for the Shrines are somewhat obtuse, but they include two directions. One hints at what to have Jin Sakai wear and the other tells him what to do. The reference to the stranger and son tells players to wear the Sakai Clan Armor, which is the armor set that Jin’s father originally wore. The strength of the blade portion tells the player to unsheathe their sword, which is done by swiping to the right on the PS5 DualSense controller’s touchpad .

• Equip the Sakai Clan Armor
• Unsheathe Jin's sword by swiping right on touchpad

Once Ghost of Tsushima players have unsheathed the sword, a brief cutscene should trigger that transforms Jin’s armor dye and gives him a new helmet and mask. It also features the iconic music from God of War (2018) played in the style of Ghost of Tsushima ’s soundtrack.

In total, the Shrine of Ash completion will unlock:

• Helm of War
• Spartan Mask
• Ghost of Sparta dye for Sakai Clan Armor

Although Ghost of Tsushima tries to deliver a realistic story set in historical context, the developers at Sucker Punch Studios were not above making some references to other Sony properties. In addition to the Shrine of Ash and the God of War armor, there are also nods to some other popular Sony titles like Shadow of Colossus and Bloodborne . Each of the Shrines requires completing a specific puzzle, which usually involves wearing a certain armor set and performing an action. That being said, if one were to pick a favorite out of the Ghost of Tsushima Easter Egg armor sets, the God of War armor is arguably the best looking.

Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut is available now on PS5.

Ghost of Tsushima horse: Which stallion should you pick at the start of the game?

Are there any differences between the Ghost of Tsushima horses?

At the end of the tutorial, you'll have to pick your Ghost of Tsushima horse. You're given no direction here in-game, other than picking between three colours. You're warned that your choice, along with the name you give it, will be stuck for the rest of your time with Ghost of Tsushima . If you're wondering if any of the horses have any differences and what your choice means for your playthrough, read on for our complete Ghost of Tsuhima horse guide.

Ghost of Tsushima horses explained

After Yuna has led you through the Mongol camp right at the start, and you've retrieved both your sword and Armour, you'll reach the stables. This is the end of the first section of the tutorial, and when Ghost of Tsushima really starts to open up.

When you get to the stables, you first need to decide which color horse you want; black, white, or dapple. There are no differences between the horses . Every horse gallops at the same speed, your choice is simply your personal preference.

You'll then also need to pick a name for your horse and once again, this doesn't have any effect on gameplay. Jin will call your horse by its name every now and then, but that's all. Your horse also cannot die in regular gameplay so don't worry about it succumbing to Mongols or bandits.

Ghost of Tsushima Digital Deluxe horse

If you've got the Digital Deluxe Edition of Ghost of Tsushima, you get access to the brown horse. Again, it has no stat bonuses over the other horses, but is a lovely shade of brown. When you reach the stables, the brown horse should be an extra option alongside the other three, at the end.

11 Best Armor Sets In Ghost Of Tsushima (& How To Get Them)

Posted: October 11, 2023 | Last updated: October 12, 2023

• Armor sets in Ghost of Tsushima can be customized to match different play styles and provide benefits for players, such as health boosts or increased damage.
• The Traveler's Attire is perfect for exploration, as it tracks artifacts, clears fog of war, and alerts players when they are near an artifact.
• Different armor sets like Tadayori's Armor and Ronin Attire offer unique bonuses for certain play styles, such as increased bow abilities or improved stealth and melee damage.

Armor is a fun way to customize how Jin looks in Ghost of Tsushima and get some much-needed boosts to help you defeat the Mongol invaders. No matter what play style you have, there is an armor set that will match and give you benefits that help further your experience in the game.

RELATED: Ghost Of Tsushima: Every Armor Set In The Game And How To Get Them

Some of these armors give massive health boosts, while some increase the amount of damage you deal. Today, we hope to answer which armor set you should be looking for, which ones are the best, and how you obtain them.

Updated October 11th, 2023: Ghost of Tsushima has a lot of great armor sets for players to choose from that can help Jin liberate his home from his enemies. These armor sets can improve some abilities and even make some weapons stronger. Unfortunately, finding some of the best armor sets in Ghost of Tsushima can be a bit confusing if players don't know where to look. To help showcase the best armor sets in Ghost of Tsushima , the following list has been updated to include a companion video.

Traveler's Attire

• Tracks artifacts with guiding wind
• Clears 10% more fog of war from the map
• The controller vibrates when Jin is within 30 meters of an artifact

As stated by the armor, it is "perfect for those with a long journey ahead." It is most likely given to you as your first armor set because all you need to do is talk to a merchant and they hand it over to you. It fits the appearance of a wanderer extremely well, while also giving the player bonuses that help them discover every artifact they can.

With this armor, players can set their guiding winds to track the different artifacts they can discover, while at the same time clearing more fog of war off the map and providing spider-sense-like artifact abilities that make the controller vibrate whenever one is close by.

Tadayori's Armor

• Increases nocking and reload speed by 15%
• Increases concentration time by 1 second
• Headshots restore 25% of the concentration meter

For players who enjoy using the bow to its fullest extent, Tadayori's Armor may be the right choice. All players know that the combat in Ghost of Tsushima doesn't really allow for all ranged combat, but this armor certainly helps by increasing concentration time, reload and draw speeds, and adding more time to the concentration meter with each headshot.

Watch out though, because this armor doesn't offer any increase to health or defense, so players will remain a little squishy with it. Those still interested in this amazing archer's armor can receive it for completing the Legend of Tadayori mythic tale.

Ronin Attire

• Reduces enemy detection speed by 10%
• Moderate increase to melee damage
• After leaving pampas grass, enemies take longer to detect Jin

For players who want to look like every other classic samurai movie protagonist, look no further than the Ronin Attire. It is perfect for players who want to charge into battle but still love to sneak around, since it gives bonuses to both stealth and melee damage.

Not only that, but it decreases the enemy detection speed whenever the player leaves tall grass. Now when players inevitably get caught sneaking around Mongol territory, they can fight their way out with style. This armor set is acquired by completing the mission Blood on the Grass, which is unlocked during act one.

Samurai Clan Armor

• Reduces all damage by a moderate amount
• Moderate increase to health
• Taking damage grants 15% resolve

The Samurai Clan Armor perfect for players who aren't so good at parrying and can't help but take damage. It provides some much-needed resolve each time the player takes damage, while at the increasing maximum health and reducing the damage taken. It's clear that Sucker Punch knew there would be people struggling to keep the Mongols from killing them.

RELATED: Ghost Of Tsushima: Where To Find All Fox Dens

This armor is given early in the game by Lady Masako, during the first mission the player completes for her.

Sakai Clan Armor

• Increases standoff streak by 1 and gives a 10% chance to terrify enemies when winning a standoff

Gamers can all agree that there is something magical about standing off against an enemy, waiting for him to strike, then cutting him down with a single blow. It's a classical move in many samurai films that is beautifully brought to life in Ghost of Tsushima .

For those who love charging into battle with a family insignia in armor that may or may not bring back haunting memories of watching one's father die, then try out the Sakai Clan Armor. It increases the player's standoff streak up to five when fully upgraded, while also increasing maximum health and damage. Jin can receive it from the story mission Ghosts from the Past.

Kensei Armor

• 30% increase to resolve gains
• Ghost weapons deal more damage
• Hitting an enemy with a ghost weapon makes them take more damage and deal less damage

While similar in look to the Ronin Attire, this armor is slightly better and is more focused on giving bonuses to players who like to use ghost weapons. What makes this armor so useful is the devastating bonus that reduces the damage an enemy struck by ghost weapons causes.

That same ability also decreases the enemy's defense. On top of that bonus, this armor also increases all resolve gains and increases the damage dealt by all ghost weapons. Remember sticky bombs? Those can now pack a serious punch to a lot of enemies. This armor is found by completing the Six Blades of Kojiro mythic tale in act two.

Ghost Armor

• Reduces enemy detection speed by 25%
• Reduces the number of kills needed to enter ghost stance by 1
• Kills have a 15% chance to terrify nearby enemies

Prowl the night with the Ghost Armor and become the true stalker of the Mongol invaders. This armor decreases the enemy detection speed and the number of kills needed to enter the ghost stance. It also gives a chance for each kill to terrify enemies and have them running away in fear from Jin's menacing appearance. Wear this armor with pride in the memory of a good friend, and know that it is being put to good use. Players get this armor immediately after starting the Darkness story mission at the end of act two.

Gosaku's Armor

• Moderate increase to stagger damage
• Killing a staggered enemies restores 10% health

Upgrade this armor to the max, slap on a new color scheme, equip that Sly Tanuki sword kit, and go cosplaying as everyone's favorite thieving raccoon. This armor isn't just for cosplaying (though it is cool); it is also one of the most useful armor sets in the game. This armor gives health back each time the player kills a staggered enemy, so equip that Charm of Amaterasu that grants health from killed enemies and stack them.

RELATED: Samurai Games To Play If You Are Waiting For Ghost Of Tsushima

This armor also grants bonus stagger damage and a great health increase. Be that immovable fortress just like Gosaku. Players get this armor from completing the Unbreakable Gosaku mythic tale and getting all of the keys to unlock it. The key locations are shown when the player receives the quest, but before that, Jin must get some of them on his own by clearing the Mongol territories that are taken over after act one.

Mongol Commander's Armor

• Major increase to health
• Reduces all damage by a major amount
• disguises Jin while out of combat and massively reduces Mongol detection speed

Some may not like it, but embracing the look of a Mongol leader is extremely helpful in the fight against the invaders. This armor lets players walk into Mongol territory much more easily, by disguising themselves as the enemy. It also offers the amazing benefits of increased health and reduced damage .

Let's call this armor easy mode, because of the major benefits it gives Jin against enemies. Players can get this armor by completing the Fit For the Khan side mission during act three.

Sarugami Armor

• Disables regular parry and perfect parry becomes a chain of two attacks
• All resolve gains are increased by a small amount
• Perfect parry and perfect dodge windows are increased by a small amount

The Sarugami Armor is perhaps the new best armor in Ghost of Tsushima. This is the best definition of risk and reward. The armor's special ability allows players to use a combo whenever they get a perfect parry against an enemy. This new counterattack can chain up to three times when the armor is fully upgraded.

The downside to this armor is that it only allows players to get perfect parries. This means that if a player isn't good at parrying, they might want to avoid wearing this armor. It does, however, increase the perfect parry window and the counterattacks are great in duels. To get this armor, players will need to complete the Legend of Black Hand Riku mission.

Tsushima Map

Armor guide - armor locations and upgrades.

While there are many types of cosmetic Vanity Gear in Ghost of Tsushima, Jin can collect and equip several types of Armor that provide significant and upgrade-able bonuses. The armor you equip can heavily influence your playstyle, and while some armor is gained over the course of the story, others can only be found by undertaking certain Mythic Tale side quests and objectives.

Below you'll find a list of all types of Armor that you can find in the game, where to find them, and the properties that can be upgraded - as well as different applicable armor dyes you can get for them.

List of Armor

The white and black dye merchants.

There are two unique merchants hiding in the island of Tsushima who have entirely unique armor and bow dyes from any other merchant you will encounter - and can be hard to track down.

The White Dye Merchant is located in upper Kashine prefecture of the Izuhara region, found along a mountain called Wanderer's Pass on the map, north of Kashine Forest. Take the roads west along the peak to find his home nestled in the back.

The Black Dye Merchant is located in the northeast section of the Kushi Prefecture of the Toyotama region, in a cave up in the hills just east of Kawamata Village along a dirt road.

Broken Armor

• Location: Default Armor

The Broken Armor is the default armor that you start the game with after and during the events of the Prologue . Unlike all other armor you can obtain, this armor provides no bonuses, cannot be upgraded, nor can it be dyed any other color.

It's highly recommended you swap out of this armor as early as possible, either by taking on main quests or by getting the Traveler's Attire.

Traveler's Attire

• Location: Given by any Merchant upon first encounter

The Traveler's Attire is a special exploration-focused armor that you can find soon after completing the Prologue . Unlike other armor you find, the Traveler's Attire is given as a gift by speaking to any Merchant in the game for the first time. This includes any Merchant found at any of the Survivor Camps, liberated mongol forts, or Hiyoshi Springs.

• Track Artifacts with the Guiding Wind

• Reduces enemy detection speed by 10%
• Increases melee damage by 15%
• Enemies will detect you much slower after leaving pampas grass while crouched.

The Tadayori's Armor is a ranged-focused armor that you can find via an optional Mythic Tale in the Izuhara region starting in Act 1 . After hearing about a musician at a unmarked camp near Rustling Bend, follow the clues in The Legend of Tadayori quest to reach the "Violet Crown" in the Azamo prefecture, and find the armor stashed on the cliffs above the Azamo Bay village.

The armor of a legendary archer, Tadayori's Armor is perfect for ranged fighting, as it will bolster your ability to shoot more arrows at enemy at a much more rapid pace, and will enhance your Concentration technique. It's base abilities include:

• Increases nocking and reloading speed by 15%
• Increases total Concentration time by 1 second
• Headshots restore 25% of the Concentration meter

Sakai Clan Armor

• Location: Complete the main quest Ghosts from the Past in the Kubara prefecture in the northwest area of the Toyotama Region.

• Moderate increase to melee damage
• Increase Standoff streak by 1, and winning has a 10% chance to terrify nearby enemies.

The armor is very skill based, and increases your prowess with Ghost weaponry and resolve gain to make the most of your techniques. It's base abilities include:
