Fans familiar withGhost of Tsushimamight already know that there are merchants who can die armor sets in black and white to give Jin Sakai a unique flair for outfits. However, there’s another dye merchant to find in the Iki Island expansion as part ofGhost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut.
How to Get to Iki Island
The Crimson dye merchant can be found on Iki Island, which players can access if they own the DLC or the Director’s Cut. To get to Iki Island, players will need to at least be in Chapter 2 ofGhost of Tsushima’s main story. Only then will the questline appear in the Iki Tales section of the menu. Players can track the quest by pressing X on the quest, and the wind will guide players to a settlement that needs to be investigated.
Hidden Cove Tournament
Before players can access the Crimson dye merchant, they will first need tocomplete the Hidden Cove Tournament on Iki Island.Ghost of Tsushimaplayers can compete in this after completing the second to last main tale, “The Blessing of Death.”
Once the Hidden Cove Tournament is wrapped up, players will be rewarded with a sword kit called The Hidden Heart, and theGhost of Tsushimamapwill be updated with a new location. If players hold the options button when the notification appears, they will be shown the updated location of the Crimson dye merchant.
Crimson Dye Merchant Location
The Crimson Dye merchant will appear on Iki Island, just northwest of Tatsu’s Ladder and South of Mount Takenotsuji. It is also southeast of Fort Sakai, if that helps players out. It’s possible to fast travel to a nearby location if players have been around; if not, they can always call their trusty horse to escort them to theGhost of Tsushimadye merchantquickly.
Players can then use any of the flowers they have collected to pay the merchant for new hats, masks, sword kits, and armor dyes. These items are purely cosmetic but can help players become unique-looking samurai on their journey to rid the Mongols of the island.
Once players find the merchant and buy everything they need, they can try to find some of the PlayStation Easter eggs, like aBloodborne armor set.
