Ghost of Tsushima Meets Kratos: Find the God of War Armor Now
The God of War armor is one of the most sought-after cosmetics in Ghost of Tsushima, especially for fans of the PlayStation exclusive God of War series. This armor is part of the Director's Cut expansion on Iki Island, where players can unlock various tributes to iconic PlayStation franchises. The God of War armor can be found at the Shrine of Ash, a hidden location in the northern part of Yahata Forest.
Where to Find the Shrine of Ash
The Shrine of Ash is nestled in the Yahata Forest region. Head north of the archery challenge, and you’ll spot the shrine on a cliff, overlooking a serene body of water. This location pays homage to Kratos, the protagonist of God of War, and the armor is modeled after his iconic Spartan appearance.
Solving the Shrine of Ash Puzzle
Upon reaching the shrine, you will come across a riddle in the form of a tanka poem:
“In fall, a tree fruits
which grows from seed to sapling,
a stranger and son.
Boy, honor your father's fight.
Show him the strength of your blade.”
This verse references Kratos and his son, Atreus. To solve the puzzle and unlock the armor, you need to:
- Equip the Sakai Clan Armor.
- Stand in front of the shrine’s statue.
- Draw your sword (swipe right on the touchpad).
Once these actions are performed, a short cutscene will play, and you’ll be rewarded with the full God of War armor set. This includes the Spartan Mask, the Ghost of Sparta shader for the Sakai Clan Armor, and the Helm of War.
What Makes the God of War Armor Special
The God of War armor is a visually stunning tribute to Kratos' legendary appearance. While it doesn't offer unique gameplay advantages, the aesthetic appeal is undeniable. Players get to don a fierce Spartan look, blending the worlds of God of War and Ghost of Tsushima.
Tips for Unlocking PlayStation Crossover Armor Sets
In addition to the God of War armor, there are other PlayStation crossover armor sets available in the Director's Cut. These include tributes to games like Shadow of the Colossus and Bloodborne. Each set requires completing specific puzzles at different shrines across Iki Island.
Be sure to explore thoroughly and read all clues carefully when visiting these shrines. These special armor sets are a great way to pay homage to other iconic PlayStation franchises while immersing yourself in the world of Ghost of Tsushima.
Conclusion
Unlocking the God of War armor is a rewarding experience for any fan of both God of War and Ghost of Tsushima. By solving the Shrine of Ash puzzle, you not only earn a tribute to Kratos but also show your prowess in mastering one of the most intricate shrines on Iki Island. Happy hunting, and may your blade honor both Jin Sakai and Kratos!
