Here’s how to complete the Forbidden Shrine puzzle and earn the free crossover armor for yourself.
You’ll be able to enjoy it for about a week until you could play Forbidden West for real.
Head to the northernmost point of Iki Island to Raider Promontory.
Take out the small group of raiders here, then look to the statue overlooking the disquieted ocean.
This is the Forbidden Shrine.
At the foot of the statue is a scroll featuring a riddle.
It reads:“The old world is gone.
Though life is never-ending.
Take up the Archer’s mantle.
A Seeker must aim for truth.”
In your gear menu, put on Tadayori’s armor or his straw hat–either one will do.
You get this armor from having beaten The Legend of Tadayori in the original game.
They’ll glow red, with two on the front of the statue and one more on the back.
Fire arrows at all three of these in no specific order, and that’s it.
A short cutscene will play out showing Jin bowing at the statue and wearing the special armor.
