The Spider Lily Armour is one of the most powerful armours you can find in Ghost of Yotei. It’s tied to a mythic tale filled with mystery, spirits, and battle. In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to unlock the armour by completing The Spider Lily Mythic Tale, including where to find all four keys needed to open the Tominaga Estate. We’ll also cover every armour dye colour available in the game, so you can customise your look to match your style once you’ve got this legendary armour.
Spider Lily Armour Location in Ghost of Yotei
The Spider Lily Armour is a powerful piece of body armour once worn by a general consumed by grief. Its design and aura give off a dark, bloodthirsty energy that is a hunger for battle.
When you wear this armour, enemies have a small chance of dropping throwable weapons during fights, giving you extra tools to use in combat. It also slightly boosts the amount of stagger damage your melee attacks deal, making it easier to break through an enemy’s defences. On top of that, whenever you stagger an opponent, there’s a small chance it will send out a shockwave that deals minor stagger damage to nearby foes as well.
To get the Spider Lily Armour, you’ll need to complete The Spider Lily Mythic Tale. You can start this quest by finding the Mysterious Gate located in the southern part of Shizunai Woods.
The Spider Lily Mythic Tale Quest Guide
Head to the southern part of Shizunai Woods in the Tokachi Range, where you’ll find the Tominaga Estate. Climb up the steps and pass through the large gate to start your journey. A short cutscene will play where Ugetsu stops you.
Once the scene ends, go through the gate again to enter the eerie Abandoned Tominaga Estate. Follow the path leading further inside until you reach a locked gate. To open it, you’ll need to collect four keys scattered around the estate: the Pagoda Key, Graveyard Key, Maze Key, and Cave Key.
Pagoda Key Location
Stand facing away from the locked gate, and look to your left; you’ll see a pagoda nearby. Head behind it and open the chest there to find the Pagoda Key. When you do, a brief cutscene will trigger featuring the spirit of General Tominaga.
Graveyard Key Location
From the pagoda area, follow the misty path that leads behind it until you reach a graveyard where several graverobbers are present. Defeat them all. After clearing the area, climb the ladder to reach the upper section of the graveyard and keep following the path. You’ll come across more enemies, take them out as well. Suddenly, a thick mist will roll in, and all the graverobbers will mysteriously collapse. Approach the campfire nearby to find the Graveyard Key lying next to it.
Maze Key Location
Head back toward the main locked gate. This time, turn right and move past the nearby building until you spot a tunnel ahead. Inside, you’ll notice a bamboo strike. To get the key here, follow the trail of red spider lilies that lead toward a glowing light. Each time you step into the light, you’ll be teleported back to the tunnel’s entrance.
You’ll need to repeat this process three times, each time following a different flower trail, before the Maze Key finally appears on the bamboo strike. Once you’ve completed all three loops, return to the bamboo strike and collect your reward.

Cave Key Location
After getting the Maze Key, exit the tunnel and turn left. Follow the path until you reach the Southern Caverns. There should be a Saito outlaw with a torch standing near the cave entrance. Talk to him before heading inside. Follow the lantern-lit tunnels until you reach a wall you can climb. Keep going upward until you reach the top, then crawl through the small opening to reach another section of the cave.
Continue forward, cross a log, and you’ll eventually reach a large chamber. Here, you’ll hear voices belonging to General Tominaga and a Saito outlaw. Look around the area, you’ll find a painted wall, several items, and the Cave Key placed among some lit candles.
Defeating General Tominaga
With all four keys in hand, return to the locked gate and unlock it. Go inside, then turn right and slide open a wooden door to reveal a duelling ring. Examine the bloodstains on the ground to trigger the next part. Keep moving forward until you find a small cave blocked by a wooden gate. Use your grappling hook to pull it down and head inside.
In the misty clearing ahead, you’ll finally face General Tominaga in battle. Once you defeat him, climb up the slope to find the Spider Lily Armour resting on a grave marker. Read the note beside it to claim the armour and complete The Spider Lily Mythic Tale.
