Ubisoft returns to the RPG roots with *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, where gearing up appropriately is crucial, especially on higher difficulties. Here's a detailed guide on the best weapons for Naoe and Yasuke and how to acquire them in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the best weapons are of legendary quality, requiring some time and effort to obtain. However, once you have them, upgrading these weapons is essential to tackle the game's challenges effectively.
Weapon | Type | Perks and Stats | Location/How to Get |
---|---|---|---|
Yami no Kage | Katana | Engraving: Deal 100% damage to the attacker on Deflect. | Hidden chest in Haraiyama Fort, at the Warfields in Harima. |
Bloodshade | Katana | Bonus Stat: Bleed Buildup Engraving: Affliction Buildup is not lost over time. |
Hidden chest in the large ship in Osaka, in the Izumi Settsu region. |
Masked Death | Katana | Bonus Stat: Adrenaline Gain Engraving: Posture attack remains charged after Dodge. |
Hidden chest in an empty camp in Shimagahara Valley, Otogi Pass. Look on the ground for blood trails, and follow it to the campsite. |
Yukimitsu’s Revenge | Tanto | Engraving: Afflicted enemies are Vulnerable. | Hidden chest in the Ancient Tomb of Nanjo, at the Eagle’s Nest in Yamashiro. |
Igan Sunset | Tanto | Bonus Stat: Vulnerable Damage Engraving: Slow down time on Escape Strike. |
Hidden chest in Tozuku’s Lair, in the Katana Foothills. Located in the Izumi Settsu region. |
Notably, Kusarigamas are not included in this list due to their inferior performance compared to Tantos and Katanas. If you prefer using Kusarigamas, those with Poison effects are your best bet, though they still fall short of the efficiency of the other weapon types. For Naoe, Katanas are the top choice, with Tantos as a strong alternative. The weapons listed above will significantly enhance your gameplay.
Weapon | Type | Perks and Stats | Location/How to Get |
---|---|---|---|
Turquoise Zephyr | Long Katana | Bonus Stat: Adrenaline Gain Engraving: Successful parries push nearby enemies back. |
Hidden chest at the Eagle’s Nest in the Yamashiro region. |
Venom Pillar | Kanaba | Bonus Stat: Vulnerable Damage Engraving: Posture attacks by alternating attack types. |
Hidden chest at Kajimiya Cemetery, at Mount Hiei in Omi. |
Time Honored Crescent | Naginata | Bonus Stat: Critical Damage Engraving: First Strike makes enemies Vulnerable every eight seconds. |
Hidden chest at Kashiwabara Fortress, at the Ibu Highlands in Omi. |
Yasuke's weapon options are more limited but equally powerful. The Long Katana and Kanaba combination is particularly effective, delivering a potent one-two punch, especially with the legendary weapons listed above.
These are the best weapons to equip for Naoe and Yasuke in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and information on the game, including how to clear the Tea Ceremony and find Imai Sokyu, be sure to visit The Escapist.
