The highly acclaimed Mythic Tale centered around the Six Blades of Kojiro stands out as a premier tracking milestone for dedicated weapon collectors in Ghost of Tsushima. To fully master this side adventure, completionists must hunt down multiple skilled Straw Hat assassins hidden within the remote landscapes of the Toyotama region. Securing these legendary armaments demands an excellent eye for natural details and careful tracking across challenging environments.
Initiating the Mythic Hunt for Collectors
Your tracking journey officially begins in Act 2 once you gain entry to the southern coast of the region. Collectors must locate the musician Yamato within the secluded settlement of Umugi Cove to hear the dark legend. Speaking with this character marks the tracking fields directly on your world map, providing the initial coordinates for your quest.
Before venturing into the wilderness, checking your combat equipment and maximizing your resolve meters is highly recommended. Each encounter requires engaging in a strict lethal duel that tests your mechanical mastery and defensive capabilities. Preparing your setup beforehand ensures you can claim the rare rewards without unnecessary backtracking.
Tracking Hidden Arenas Across Toyotama
The tracking paths are intentionally scattered across diverse biomes, ranging from foggy marshes to coastal cliffs. The first elite combatant awaits your arrival at a swampy field situated just south of the Old Kanazawa Marsh territory. Defeating this opponent requires steady movement adjustments and quick parrying reflexes to overcome his aggressive standard strikes.
Another unique duel arena is located on the northern side of the Field of the Equinox Flower. This beautiful battlefield is visually distinct, covered completely in vibrant red spider lilies that set a dramatic tone. Maintaining a proper distance and executing counterattacks right after his long strings will secure your victory.
The remaining swordsmen occupy remote natural landmarks that require careful exploration to uncover fully. Collectors will face challenges beneath a cascading waterfall along the Musashi Coast and on a rocky shore below Cloud Ridge Shrine. The final hidden fighter guards the high elevation territory situated directly east of Yamabushi Peak.
Confronting the Master at Omi Monastery
After defeating all five initial Straw Hats, you must return to the secluded village to update the musician. Yamato will then reveal the final location where the legendary master swordsman awaits his ultimate challenge. Your destination is a hidden cave situated in the far northwestern section near Omi Monastery.
Following the guiding wind past the large red tree will reveal the narrow entrance to the Mirror of Sacred Light. Inside this atmospheric arena, you will face an incredibly aggressive adversary who frequently utilizes dangerous unblockable strikes. Overcoming this final boss requires flawless dodging techniques and precise combat timing.
Defeating the master rewards collectors with the highly coveted Kensei Armor set along with a matching headband. This legendary equipment significantly increases your resolve generation and enhances the efficiency of your ghost weapons during combat. Successfully conquering this multi-stage journey remains a vital milestone for achieving complete open world status.
