The Unbreakable Gosaku — Ghost of Tsushima Walkthrough
The Unbreakable Gosaku is a Mythic Tale available in Act 2 of Ghost of Tsushima, starting in Akashima Village. This quest rewards players with Gosaku’s Armour, which enhances health, stagger, and healing capabilities. To acquire this legendary armor, Jin must collect six keys hidden in farmsteads across Tsushima, each presenting a unique challenge involving hostage protection.
To begin The Unbreakable Gosaku, travel to Akashima Village and speak with Yamoto. He will inform you about the six keys required for Gosaku's Armour, marking their locations on your map. Each farmstead where a key is located will have between two to four hostages.
Protecting hostages is crucial. If a black shield flashes above a hostage's head and a red skull appears above a Mongol, it signifies an immediate threat. At this point, your cover is blown, so eliminate the threatening Mongol quickly to save the hostage. Hostages cannot be freed while enemies are nearby, so stealth tactics like assassinations, blow darts, and Wind Chimes are effective for clearing the area without alerting all guards. Farmsteads are large enough that even if stealth is compromised in one area, you can still attempt to sneak around for other hostages.
This Mythic Tale is one of three available in Act 2 that offers armor, alongside The Six Blades of Kojiro and The Spirit of Yarikawa's Vengeance. Completing all seven Mythic Tales, identifiable by large blue markers on the map, contributes to an achievement.
