How to Upgrade Onryo Armor in Ghost of Yotei

Upgrade Onryo Armor in Ghost of Yōtei

The Onryo Armor is a unique piece of equipment that is upgraded solely through story progression and does not require any materials, unlike other armor sets.1 You upgrade it by completing the Main Tales that involve hunting down members of the Yōtei Six.There are five tiers of the Onryo Armor:

• Onryo Armor I: Unlocked at the start of the game.
• Onryo Armor II, III, IV, and V: Each subsequent tier is unlocked automatically after completing one of the main story quests targeting a member of the Yōtei Six.

The four Main Tales that unlock the upgrades are:

Main Tale: The Oni

Main Tale: The Kitsune

Main Tale: The Saito Brothers (The Saito listed alone in the original text is likely a minor error, as the main pursuit is usually split into the six lieutenants, with Lord Saitō being the leader and the final target, or the brothers being treated as one for the missions that lead to the last upgrades).5

Main Tale: [A quest targeting the Dragon or the Spider, or the main quest that culminates in the defeat of another major target, is required for the fifth and final tier. The original text lists four quests for four upgrades (since Tier I is the starting point), which aligns with the total of five tiers (starting tier + 4 upgrades). While the first one you defeat is The Snake, the armor only gains its perks after defeating the second member of the Yotei Six that you target in the main story, giving you Tier II.6 Therefore, you need to complete four Yotei Six pursuit arcs for tiers II, III, IV, and V.]

The order in which you choose to tackle these Main Tales does not matter; completing any one of them will grant the next upgrade tier.

What Does "Follow the Gold Ginkgo Leaf" Mean?

The phrase “Follow the Gold Ginkgo Leaf” is the in-game instruction for upgrading the Onryo Armor.

• The Gold Ginkgo Leaf is the specific golden icon used to mark the Main Story Missions (Main Tales) on the map and in the quest log.
• Therefore, the message is simply telling the player to continue the primarynarrative path—Atsu's quest for revenge against the Yōtei Six—to unlockthe next power level for the armor.
