Ghost of Yotei Sword Kits Guide: Every Sword Appearance and Where to Get It

A complete catalog of all sword kits in Ghost of Yotei, detailing their designs and showing you their locations and how to get them.

What are Sword Kits

Sword Kits allow you to customize the appearance of your katana, both your mainhand Wolf Blade and the offhand Dual Katana. They have no impact on your combat performance whatsoever.

With two exceptions, all Sword Kits can be used on both swords, at the same time if you want. You can’t use regular Sword Kits on the Odachi, which has a much smaller selection of dedicated options.

It’s worth noting that the guard is replaced by the one on the Wolf Blade if you equip the Sword Kit to your mainhand katana, so if you like the look of a particular guard, make sure to use it on the offhand Dual Katana.

Many Sword Kits have partners that match particularly well and are clearly designed to be worn together. Keep in mind that the Dual Katana is also displayed a bit more prominently, so it works better visually if that one has the more striking appearance while the Wolf Blade is more subdued.

The vast majority of Sword Kits come from Pillars of the Fallen, killing named enemies, or are for sale at relevant Dye Houses.

All Sword Kits

We’ve included a brief visual description of each Sword Kit’s appearance and notable features, with particular attention paid to colors.

If you’re looking for specific colors, use the filters or search field for the table below to help speed up your search for Atsu’s perfect murder weapon. Otherwise, these are sorted in alphabetical order, not the order they appear in-game.
