The Six Blades Of Kojiro Ghost Of Tsushima Quest Guide

The Six Blades of Kojiro stands out as one of the most thrilling Mythic Tales in Ghost of Tsushima. This challenging quest tests your martial prowess by forcing Jin Sakai to seek out and defeat six formidable Straw Hat assassins across Toyotama. Completing this lengthy adventure rewards players with impressive armor and supreme bragging rights.

Starting the Quest in Umugi Cove

To begin this Mythic Tale, players must travel to Umugi Cove after completing the main story quest A New Horizon in Act 2. Speak with Yamato the musician, who can be found telling legendary stories on the back deck of a busy inn. He will recount the terrifying legend of Kojiro and mark the duel locations of five deadly Straw Hat duelists on your map.

Defeating the Five Straw Hat Assassins

Each of the five assassins is located in a distinct region of Toyotama, waiting in scenic arenas marked with sashimono banners. You will face Yasumasa in the Drowning Marsh, Hirotsune among the Spider Lilies, Kiyochika under Falling Water, Tomotsugu by Crashing Waves, and Kanetomo under Autumn Leaves. Because quick-fire ghost weapons and stealth tools are disabled during duels, mastering the Stone Stance and timing your parries is vital for survival.

Confronting Kojiro at Omi Monastery

After vanquishing all five swordsmen, return to Umugi Cove to speak with Yamato once more. He will reveal that Kojiro awaits your arrival in a hidden cave near the Omi Monastery in northern Toyotama. Head to the monastery and follow the stream behind the large Buddha statue into the cave known as the Mirror of Sacred Light.

Claiming the Legendary Kensei Armor

Kojiro is an exceptionally aggressive duelist who utilizes lightning-fast strike combos and unblockable dashes. Maintain maximum Resolve prior to the battle so you can heal quickly and execute decisive counter-attacks like the Heavenly Strike. Defeating Kojiro completes the Mythic Tale and unlocks the highly sought-after Kensei Armor set, which vastly increases your Resolve gains and Ghost weapon damage.
