How to Unlock the Fundoshi Armor in Ghost of Tsushima
The Fundoshi armor in Ghost of Tsushima is a unique, albeit unconventional, piece of attire that offers no combat bonuses but serves as a humorous and memorable cosmetic item. Unlocking it requires a specific, somewhat unusual quest.
To obtain the Fundoshi armor, you must complete the 'Fit for the Gods' side quest. This quest is initiated by speaking with an old man who can be found near a hot spring in the Jogaku Temple area of Kamiagata, the northernmost region of Tsushima. He will tell you about a legendary warrior who bathed in the hot springs and gained immense strength.
The quest involves a series of challenges that test Jin's physical prowess and his connection to the natural world. You will need to:
- Find the Hot Springs: The old man will direct you to several hot springs scattered across the region.
- Complete the Hot Spring Challenges: At each hot spring, you'll need to soak in the water to increase your resolve.
- Perform the Ritual: After visiting all the hot springs, you will be instructed to perform a ritual at the final hot spring. This typically involves a short sequence of button presses or a simple interaction.
Upon successfully completing the 'Fit for the Gods' quest, the old man will reward you with the Fundoshi armor. This attire consists of a simple loincloth, offering no protection but providing a humorous visual for Jin.
The Fundoshi armor is a testament to Ghost of Tsushima's willingness to inject moments of levity and cultural flavor into its otherwise serious narrative. While it won't aid you in battle, it's a fun collectible for those who enjoy uncovering every aspect of the game world and appreciate its unique sense of humor.
Remember to explore the Jogaku Temple area thoroughly to find the starting point of the 'Fit for the Gods' quest. The hot springs themselves are marked on the map once you discover them, but initiating the quest is the key to unlocking this peculiar yet iconic piece of Tsushima's wardrobe.
