The Miki Castle Samurai Daishos present one of the most formidable challenges in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Infiltrating this heavily guarded fortress necessitates a blend of stealth and meticulous strategizing. Successfully eliminating all four Samurai Daishos will reward players with access to a Legendary Chest that holds a powerful treasure.
This comprehensive guide will direct you to the locations of each Samurai Daisho within Miki Castle and provide essential details on unlocking the coveted Legendary Chest.
Locations of the Samurai Daishos within Miki Castle in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

1. Western Courtyard: First Samurai Daisho
The initial Samurai Daisho is located within the western courtyard of Miki Castle. He patrols a walkway situated between two large wooden structures and can often be seen lingering near a supplies crate, making it an opportune moment for a stealthy aerial assassination.
2. Northern Watchtower: Second Samurai Daisho
Your next target is positioned at the base of the northern watchtower, adjacent to a torch-lit path. This Daisho is typically accompanied by two guards, necessitating the use of distractions or a swift double assassination approach for a successful takedown.
3. Central Training Grounds: Third Samurai Daisho
The third Samurai Daisho can be discovered in the central training area of the castle, engaged in sparring activities among guards near a weapons rack. His routine includes transitioning between various combat dummies, providing brief opportunities for a discreet elimination. If the area becomes too congested, consider using a smoke bomb to create a diversion.
4. Eastern Settlement: Fourth Samurai Daisho
Finally, the last Samurai Daisho is situated in the eastern settlement, next to a small shed. He can often be found close to a well, with minimal guard oversight. This makes him comparatively easier to eliminate, provided you approach him undetected from overhead.
Unlocking the Legendary Chest in Miki Castle
Upon completing the elimination of all four Samurai Daishos, you will be able to access the Legendary Chest. This treasure is located in the northeastern corner of a building adjacent to the small shed at the center of the castle. Ensure the surrounding area is clear of guards for easy access.
Rewards from the Legendary Chest
Upon opening the Legendary Chest, players can expect to receive the following rewards:
- 3,000 XP
- 4 Mastery Points
- Defense Master Headwrap (a Legendary Helmet that enhances defense and resilience during combat)
