One of the best and most valuable armor sets in Ghost of Tsushima is the Ghost armor set; it's perfect for those who prefer stealth to pure action. However, getting this armor set can be tricky, as you have to go through one hell of a mission to get there. This guide will provide you tips on how to get the elusive ghost armor in Ghost of Tsushima.
First, you need to complete the first act of the main campaign. Then, during the second act, you must reach the "From the Darkness" quest. From there, follow our guide below.
How to Get Ghost Armor in Ghost of Tsushima
Talk to Yuna
After completing the "The Fate of Tsushima" quest, you will need to speak to Yuna, who will temporarily grant you the Ghost Armor for a new mission, "From the Darkness". To keep the armor, you must complete the quest.
Enter Shimura Castle
After talking with Yuna and getting the Ghost Armor, you'll need to enter Shimura Castle completely unnoticed or the mission will fail. Here's the best way to do it:
Inside the castle, you need to go to the top floor. But there will be enemies on your way, which you need to eliminate as quietly as possible. Once that's done, use ladders to reach the top floor.
Walk through the garden
Go to the second floor of the tower and examine the castle area from the balcony. After surveying the main points, which will reveal a Poison marker on your map, you need to walk through the garden to the main dungeon:
Try to attack the guards from behind. This will help you stay undetected throughout this part of the mission. Finally, position the guards by pressing "R2" when prompted.
Tuer Ryuzo
Before entering the main dungeon to fight Ryuzo (the area boss), it's a good idea to change your armor to something more appropriate for the long melee battle ahead.
Ryuzo will use two main types of attacks:
- Red Attack – This cannot be parried, so the only way to avoid it is to dodge.
- Blue Attack – This can be parried using the Unyielding Sword Parry technique.
Between each attack or combo, you will have a short window to deal damage to Ryuzo. But other than that, rely on dodging and parrying as much as possible.
When the boss is dead, you can keep the ghost armor as a reward.
