Assassin’s Creed Shadows presents players with an expansive world filled with diverse locations and numerous non-player characters (NPCs) to engage with. While exploring this vibrant landscape, traversing on foot can be somewhat cumbersome. Fortunately, players have the option to call upon their companion, the mount, which plays a critical role in enhancing exploration capabilities. Though players have the choice to purchase mounts of higher rarity from ornament vendors, the hunt for a legendary mount is a more exhilarating pathway—one that requires a bit of exploration and effort.
Discovering the Legendary Mount in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
To obtain the coveted legendary mount in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players must embark on a journey to Okishima (Cat) Island, situated in the Omi province at the heart of Lake Biwa. While there is an option to swim to the island, it is far more efficient to locate a boat for the traversal.
If you’ve previously set foot on Okishima Island, feel free to utilize the fast travel option to reach a synchronization point or the Okishima Kakurega.
Players should head to Azuchi, where they can find a boat at the Trade Harbor. Typically, at least one boat will be anchored there, awaiting your journey. If luck isn’t on your side and no boats are present, players can improvise by jumping into the water. A friendly fisherman will often approach with a boat you can commandeer. Once you have successfully acquired a boat, row towards Okishima Island and prepare for an adventure!
Steps to Acquire the Legendary Namazu Mount on Okishima
Upon your arrival at Okishima Cat Island, navigate towards the western section of the island (refer to the map for assistance). You’ll come across a lit bonfire situated close to the shoreline. To uncover the legendary Namazu mount, dive into the water just beside the bonfire and seek out an underwater cave entrance. Once located, swim through the cave, being mindful to surface quickly to avoid losing breath.
Within the cavern, dive into the midsection of the cave, where you will discover a box awaiting your loot. By opening this box, players can claim the legendary Namazu mount. After securing it, switch to the mount via your inventory screen and ride into the horizon, ready for your next adventure in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
