Ghost of Tsushima

You can wear Body Armor, Helmets and Mask in Ghost of Tsushima. This Guide will show you how to get all Armor Sets. Each Armor has a different effect, some are for combat, exploration or stealth oriented and most of them are upgradeable at the armorer in exchange for all materials like Linen, Leather and Silk.

You get the Armor in 5 different ways, from Main- or Side Tales, from Haiku collectibles, some can be found in the open world and you get a couple from Merchants. You still can find all armor during or after the story mode in free-roam, so it doesn’t matter your choice of the selected dialogue.

An overview of all trophies can be found here. Back to Ghost of Tsushima – Overview for Collectibles, Armor, Weapons, Resources.
