How to unlock all Yasuke weapons in AC: Shadows
When you gain access to theCharacter Switchfeature, you’ll get to wield Yasuke’s Long Katana, Teppo, and Bow. The quickest way to unlock his Naginata and Kanabo is through theShinbakafu questline or in-game store. The Shinbakafu targets involveAssassin’s Creed Shadows’main campaign, where you can eliminate bosses for the two weapons.
You can also go to the in-game store to purchase the Kanabo and Naginata outright through the Kaen or Gashadokuro packs. A few other side quests provide you with these weapons, but I have to explore the map more to find them. I’ll be sure to update this guide once I discover which missions give them to you as a reward. For now, we’ll focus on unlocking them throughAC: Shadows‘ main campaign.
Which main quest unlocks Yasuke’s Naginata in AC: Shadows?
As a bladed melee weapon, the Naginata helps with multiple targets at the slight cost of defense. You can unlock it by eliminatingthe Naginata, also known as Akechi Kagemitsu.
Complete the following missions to find Kagemitsu:
The final mission, Showdown at Sakamoto, rewards you with the Sage’s Reach Legendary Naginata. You’ll finally unlock the Naginata tree in the Mastery, upgrading it with the points you acquire throughout the story. If you want to spice up your journey, this mission also paves the way to Naoe’sKatsuhime romancestory.
Which main quest unlocks Yasuke’s Kanabo in AC: Shadows?
If you’ve watched theShadowstrailers, you may have seen Yasuke wielding the mighty Kanabo. This two-handed club has tremendous damage rates, ultimately knocking off an enemy’s armor. However, given its massive size, it will make Yasuke fairly slow in movement. You can unlock the Kanabo by defeatingthe Ox(Bessho Harumasa) in the Shinbakufu quests.
Here’s a look into the missions you must complete to reach this battle:
When facing Bessho Harumasa, you must dodge his Kanabo attacks. Luckily, these swings are pretty easy to dodge due to the weapon’s slow movements. Defeat him, and he will drop the Legendary Daybreak’s Fury. Equip it whenever dealing with armored foes, helping you turn the tide in the battle.
