Ghost of Tsushima: All Iki Island Pillar of Honor Locations (& What They Unlock)

Pillars of Honor are nothing new in Ghost of Tsushima. Players have been discovering them since the game was first released, and they are the key to getting the Lost and Found trophy (though only one is needed for that). Now that Sucker Punch has released the Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut, players can now travel to Iki Island. Here, they can discover a whole new story along with brand new collectibles — and that includes new Pillars of Honor.

Of course, that doesn’t come without any reward. Players will obtain a new sword kit each time they discover a new Pillar of Honor. Unfortunately, there is no new trophy to get for finding them all, but at least players can outfit Jin with some new looks.

Updated September 17, 2024, by Hamza Haq: The Iki Island DLC can be accessed during Act 2 of Ghost of Tsushima and promises Jin a lot of upgrades to help with his fight against the Mongol invasion and Khotun Khan. Incredibly useful armor sets like the Sarugami Armor, powerful new charms like the Charm of Concentration, the horse charge ability, and more are just some of the highlights of Iki Island. For completionists, a number of new collectibles, Pillars of Honor, and banners have been added.

Sentinel’s Peak Pillar Of Honor

The first of the new Pillars of Honor is located in Sentinel’s Peak. Off one of the cliffs, surrounded by vines and resting between two trees, players will discover this pillar. It is located above a Mongol camp and is easily accessed by climbing a cliff next to the camp.

Players who venture up here will receive the Immortal Hope sword kit. The design of this new sword kit appears to be entirely created from bamboo, and has a lovely pink fabric wrapped around the end.

Katayama Market Pillar Of Honor

Next up, this Pillar of Honor is located just south of Katayama Market along the western part of Zasho River. It is also south of the Cat Sanctuary in this area, right next to an archery challenge. Players can easily complete all three of these activities while in the area.

For venturing to this Pillar of Honor, players will receive the Stonecutter sword kit. This new sword kit appears to be crafted of solid granite with a purple sword that runs down the length of the katana sheath.

Saru Island Pillar Of Honor

The last Pillar of Honor is nearby some more activities for players to complete while in the area. Saru Island is in the southern section of Iki Island, and is in the area between Saruiwa Overlook and Saruiwa Mountain. Players will have to swim to get here, but it is worth it. There is a Bamboo Strike on this island, and there is a Monkey Sanctuary on both Saruiwa Overlook and Saruiwa.

Those who make this trip will receive the Nekoma’s Fang sword kit. This sword kit is similar in appearance to the Stonecutter sword kit, but has scratch marks along the sheath along with gold accents.

Nakajima Island Pillar of Honor

The last Pillar of Honor is the only one on Iki Island that is not marked on the map in any way. It is located on Nakajima Island, inside the Nakajima Shrine, off the southeastern coast of Iki Island. Players can walk to the island by jumping down to the beach from the cliff facing the ocean. Directly ahead, the entrance to the Nakajima Shrine will be visible. Use it to enter inside.

Walk up the stairs and squeeze through the small gap to the left. Use the Iron Hook to pull the branch down to create a walkway and use it to jump down to the next area. Follow along the linear path until you see a small gap next to the pond. Use it to enter the next part of the Shrine, and you’ll notice some stairs to the right. The Pillar of Honor is on the landing. Pick up the sword to obtain the Mashira’s Bite sword kit.
