Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut introduces several new items into the arsenal of Jin Sakai. Aside from the new sword skins, and the incredibly fun new horse-charging mechanic, players were treated to a selection of multiple new armor sets. In Ghost of Tsushima, armor affects a wide range of mechanics, with everything from max health and resolve gains, to damage output and stealth changing significantly depending on which set you wear. Because of this, players were eager to learn what the new Iki Island armor sets would bring to the table.

Iki Island is the new map that serves as the main expansion in Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut. Sucker Punch did something really special with many of the new armor sets introduced in the expansion, showing love to several fellow Sony games. This guide will explore these sets, and all the others found in the Iki Island expansion.

4. Armor of the Colossus
5. Sarugami Armor

Wind Shrine Armor Sets in Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut

There are four Wind Shrines in Ghost of Tsushima, each of which reward Jin with a new skin for an armor set he should already have. These skins are very special, as they each represent a specific game from PlayStation. This should not be surprising, as Sucker Punch PlayStation Studios family.

Seeker's Attire - Aloy's Armor

• The Seeker's Attire skin for the Tadayori Armor set is received as a reward for completing the Forbidden Shrine. The shrine is found on Raider's Promontory, a small island off Iki's north shore.
• The set comes with the Sign of the Hunter headband.

Ghost of Sparta - Kratos/God of War Armor

• The Ghost of Sparta skin for the Sakai Clan Armor is received as a reward for completing the Shrine of Ash. The shrine is found north of the Yahata forest, near the northern cliffs seen on the map.
• This set includes the Spartan mask, and the Helm of War helmet.

Yharnam Vestments - Bloodborne Armor

• The Yharnam Vestments skin for the Kensei armor is received as a reward for completing the Blood-Stained Shrine. This shrine is found near the western coast of Iki Island, just above the G in Gonoura Cape.
• This set includes the Yharnam Helm version of the Wanderer's Straw Hat.

Armor of the Colossus - Shadow of the Colossus Armor

• The Armor of the Colossus skin for the Ghost Armor is received as a reward for completing the Shrine in Shadow. This shrine is found near the southern coast of Iki Island, almost perfectly centered. Look for the Buddha's Footprints location on the map, and head straight down. You can't miss it.
• This set includes the Mask of the Colossus mask.

Sarugami Armor

Players who are looking for a way to take the Perfect Parry and Perfect Dodge systems to new heights need look no further than the Sarugami armor. This set is found through the process of completing the 'Legend of Black Hand Riku' Mythic Tale. Follow Iki Islands main story through 'A Raider's Return.' This will open up Fune's Refuge, and reveal the hideout's Mythic Tale.

Ghost of Tsushima: 5 Ways The Game Is Different on PC

PC players can enjoy an improved version of Ghost of Tsushima, and here are some notable differences from the PS5 version.

Sakai Horse Armor

While some may scoff at including horse armor in this list of all Iki Island armor sets, the reasons for its inclusion will become abundantly clear once the benefits are revealed. Unlike the horse equipment found in the base game, the Sakai Horse Armor offers perks in the same way as Jin's armor sets. These skills are incredibly powerful, and will go a long way towards making the Ghost as close to unstoppable as possible.

The Sakai Horse Armor is the reward for completing the 'Legacy of Kazumasa Sakai' Mythic Tale. To start this tale, head to Kasho Bay on the east coast of Iki Island. It is possible to reveal the quest marker by talking to various civilians, though it is not necessary to do so. You can head straight there and begin the quest the moment you have free rein to explore Iki Island.

This marks the final piece of armor Jin will find on Iki Island. There are several headbands, masks and sword kits still available.
