Ghost of Tsushima's Kensei Armor is arguably the best armor set in the game, increasing Jin's Resolve gains, boosting the damage dealt by his Ghost Weapons, and more. That said, the Kensei Armor in Ghost of Tsushima does not come extremely easily, and indeed players that wish to obtain it will need to tackle a fairly extensive Mythic Tale.
The Mythic Tale in question is called The Six Blades of Kojiro, and Ghost of Tsushima fans should visit the southwest corner of Toyotama to start it. More specifically, the player needs to speak with the musician (Yamato) who is located inside of the large building in Umugi Cove. If a fans does not find Yamato in this location then they should complete side quests for the distressed woman in Umugi Cove until he appears.
Once the Mythic Tale has been obtained, players will find that it is primarily comprised of GoT duels against five Straw Hats, and their locations show up as swordsmen on the in-game map. Notably, these battles can prove somewhat challenging, and fans will need to use all of the tools at their disposal to come out on top. Even still, players may need to make several attempts before they successfully dispatch these foes.
After a fan is victorious in all five of these duels they should then return to Umugi Cove and speak with Yamato, who will now send Jin Sakai north to the Omi Monastery. In this location fans will find a large statue, and they should head down the path to the right when facing its front. Following this path will eventually lead the player to a cave and the final fight for the Kensei Armor.
To note, while the Kensei Armor is the real prize for completing The Six Blades of Kojiro Mythic Tale, fans that tackle this quest will also receive the Kensei Headband and the Charm of Unseen Respite, which causes Smoke Bombs to restore 25% of a player's health. Certainly this Ghost of Tsushima Charm can be strong in some situations, but it does not quite match the power level of the Kensei Armor.
Ghost of Tsushima is out now exclusively for the PlayStation 4.
