A gift from Taka to enhance the tactics of the Ghost... And a good friend's final creation.
― Jin's journal

Ghost Armor is an Armor set which is earned during the mission From the Darkness. The armor was made by Taka, and given to Jin Sakai by Yuna. Jin notes that the Armor is designed in a way to enhance the tactics of the Ghost, which increases Jin's stealth and inspires fear into the Mongols. It comes with a headband, a mask and body armor. It has been heavily featured in promotional art for Ghost of Tsushima.

Enhancements

• Reduces enemy detection speed by 25% (to 40% at Level 2, 50% at level 5).
• Reduces the number of kills needed to enter the Ghost Stance by 1 (Level 2) or by 2 (Level 3+).
• Kills have a 15% chance to Terrify a nearby enemy (to 30% at Level 4, 40% at Level 5).

• Shadow of Justice (Black Dye Merchant: 10 Flowers)
• Righteous Punishment (Chose "Kill" during The Tale of Lord Shimura)

• Avenging Spring (Baku the Voiceless: 10 Ghost Flowers)

Notes

• Whenever Jin dons the armor, he gains a third blade on his back. While it serves no function in-game, it is likely this blade is meant to represent a Wakizashi, given that it's shorter than the Sakai Katana (but longer than the Sakai Tanto), and has a slightly straighter blade.
• It's actually possible to get both the Vow of Vengeance and Righteous Punishment dyes on the same save file, without playing through New Game+, but the opportunity is very easy to miss.
  • After completing Eternal Blue Sky, head to Omi Village to commence The Tale of Lord Shimura.
  • Proceed with the tale as usual, compose the final Haiku and duel Lord Shimura.
  • After defeating Lord Shimura, make your choice to either Kill or Spare him.
  • After making your choice and watching the credits roll, Jin will be at his new hideout, clad in his Ghost Armor with the corresponding new dye applied:
    • Dawn Refuge and Righteous Punishment, if you Killed Shimura.
    • Tradition's End and Vow of Vengeance, if you Spared Shimura.
  • Instead of leaving the hideout, immediately pause the game and navigate to your Journal. Go into Jin's Journey and Abandon the tale.
  • Jin will be transported just outside of Omi Village, as if he never started the tale, but he won't lose the dye he obtained.
  • Play through The Tale of Lord Shimura once again, and make the choice you didn't pick the first time.
  • After the credits roll, Jin will be at the hideout received from the ending you picked this time, but now he has the Ghost Armor dyes from both endings.
