If you’re eager to learn about the specific steps to secure this impressive weapon, keep reading for an in-depth guide.
How to Obtain the Last Breath Bow in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Your journey to obtaining the Last Breath Bow culminates after you complete the Requiem for Rokkaku quest. This short yet vital mission takes place right after the intense showdown where you defeat Akechi Kagemitsu, the antagonist linked to the previous mission titled Showdown in Sakamoto. Following Kagemitsu’s defeat, your next objective is Sakamoto Tower, situated in the southeastern area of Mount Hiei within Omi Province.
Upon reaching the tower, you will meet Shotei. Engaging in a brief conversation with him concludes the Requiem for Rokkaku quest without any further combat or objectives—just enjoy the unfolding cutscenes. During this exchange, Shotei reveals that the Last Breath Bow is a cherished heirloom of the Rokkaku family, which he bequeaths to Yasuke.
Requirements to Unlock the Quest
The Requiem for Rokkaku quest unlocks exclusively after you complete the major storyline mission Showdown in Sakamoto and eliminate Kagemitsu. Once these objectives are fulfilled, you can find the side quest under the People of Omi section on your Objectives Board. The quest is tagged under Shotei, and you simply need to activate it to begin your tracking.
Rewards from the Quest
Finishing the Requiem for Rokkaku quest not only awards you the legendary bow but also a series of valuable rewards, including:
- Last Breath (Legendary Bow)
- Affliction on Headshot (Engraving)
- Shooting Range (Outdoor Cosmetic item)
- 1000 XP
While the quest may be concise and narrative-driven, the benefits are substantial, particularly for players looking to enhance Yasuke’s capabilities as a versatile stealth and combat fighter.
