The Gosaku armor set inGhost of Tsushimais easily one of the best in the game for its outrageous buffs to the player’s survivability. Players that enjoy running headfirst into the fight and bypassing all of that pesky sneaking around should definitely make it a point to get this set.
There are several different armor sets inGhost of Tsushimathat the player can unlock as they progress through the game, and each provides different bonuses. These benefits often promote a specific type of playstyle, so although some armor sets can be difficult to obtain, it’s well worth the effort spent to find something that complements each player’s approach.
While theGhost armor set promotes stealth, the Gosaku armor set does just the opposite, granting the player unprecedented durability in combat allowing them to brute force their way through even the toughest of situations.
Updated July 07, 2025, by Hamza Haq:Armor sets in Ghost of Tsushima are build-defining pieces of equipment that offer innate buffs not available anywhere else. Certain builds require certain armor pieces equipped to achieve their full potential. A katana-focused build, for example, would be much more effective if the player is wearing the Ronin Attire instead of the Tadayori Armor. This is because the former provides buffs to melee damage, whereas the latter only increases arrow damage, which is a completely different playstyle. The Gosaku Armor is meant to be used in a stagger build, where players use heavy attacks to break the enemy’s guard and brute force their way out of every combat encounter.
The Unbreakable Gosaku Mythic Tale Walkthrough (Gosaku Armor)
In order to obtain the Gosaku armor set, you will first need get toAct 2 ofGhost of Tsushima. As soon as you step into Toyotama, the blue quest marker indicating’The Unbreakable Gosaku’will appear on the map on top of Akashima Village, the first major stop in this region. Head towards the indicated location to find Yamato, the musician. Listen to his tale about Gosaku to trigger the start of the quest.
To find the Gosaku Armor, players will need to collect six keys. Each key is held by a farmstead spread out across the Toyotama and Izuhara regions and can only be obtained by freeing those farmsteads from Mongol Control. There are six locations players will need to liberate:
After all six keys are obtained, a new quest marker will appear leading players to the Togo Rice Fields. Open the stone door using the keys and continue onward to find the Gosaku Armor inside a red chest at the top of the hill.
If you’ve already liberated some of the aforementioned farmsteads before triggering the ‘The Unbreakable Gosaku’, their keys will be in Jin’s possession.
How Good Is Gosaku Armor
After obtaining this armor, equipping it will grant Jin a “massive increase to health,” “major increase to stagger damage,” and restore the his health by 20% after each kill of a staggered enemy. These all synergize well together, as Jin will be able to take more hits while staggering the enemy more often, which in turn will result in him healing the damage he has taken. This is a very different approach to the game than other stealthy armor sets, instead relying on tanking damage and dealingdevastating blows with Jin’s katana, but it can be a ton of fun.
Players wanting to complete the look and obtain the Gosaku helmet will need toupgrade Gosaku’s armor at an armorerin order to unlock it. This is advised anyway for players planning on using the set, but gives the added benefit of this sweet looking helmet. The path to getting the set may not be easy, but the rest of the game might be after equipping it.
