Quests in Ghost of Tsushima come in three different flavors. Jin's Journey Tales are the equivalent of main mission quests; Tales of Tsushima/Iki are side quests; and Mythic Tales are special quests that unlock powerful armor, new weapons, and special abilities for Jin.

There are nine Mythic Tales in Ghost of Tsushima, including the Iki Island DLC, each one offering players unique rewards not obtainable in any other way. Here are all their locations.
