There are tons of different armor that Jin can use to play dress-up throughout his epic adventure to reclaim Tsushima Island. There are pajamas like a Ronin outfit, hardened samurai plates, and more. They all look pretty cool, and they have different uses as well. You might prefer the simplicity of the Traveler's Outfit, which is best for exploration, but it's hard to argue against the Gosaku armor when it comes to combat.
This armor is fantastic for keeping you alive, especially when it comes to long battle streaks, and offers these bonuses:
- Massive increase in health
- Major increase in scaled damage
- Killing a staggered enemy restores health
It's a great set of armor and not too difficult to acquire. The hardest part is finding the quest giver himself.
How to get the Gosaku armor
To get the Gosaku armor, you will need to have stormed Kaneda Castle and started Act II. After completing the Act II introductory quest, “A New Horizon,” you will be able to freely explore Toyotama, the area north of Izuhara. Make your way to Akashima village, as shown on the map above. Once there, talk to the musician you will find in the center of the village.
Starting the quest will add six markers to your map. You will need to go to these six markers (all farms) and collect the keys there that you need to unlock the area where Gosaku's armor is locked.
From there, the quest is down to going to the markers on the map, killing the Mongols in each farm, and collecting the keys. Once you've done that and obtained all six keys, a new location will be added to your map, back in Akashima. Just go ahead, find more Mongols, kill more Mongols, and you can get to the place where you collect Gosaku's armor.
It's not too difficult as long as you can find the quest giver. With the health bonuses that this armor offers, it is highly recommended that you get it as soon as possible in Act II. As the going gets tough it can really be a lifeline.
