In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players who frequently engage in combat using Naoe will find the Featherstorm Kusarigama to be an invaluable enhancement to their arsenal. This Legendary-tier weapon is specifically crafted to elevate Naoe’s effectiveness in crowd control, making it an excellent choice for those who utilize her sickle-and-chain attacks to fend off hordes of enemies.
Below, you’ll learn the steps to acquire this remarkable weapon within the game.
How to Locate the Featherstorm Kusarigama
The Featherstorm Kusarigama can be discovered in a Legendary Chest situated within the Kashiwabara Fortress, which lies in the heart of the Ibu Highlands in the Omi Region. This fortress serves as a partially claimed stronghold, currently occupied by outlaws.
Since the area lacks nearby fast travel points or viewpoints—except for the Odani Destroyed Tenshu located to the north—your journey should commence from Nomura Village, positioned southwest of the fortress. From there, head northeast along the main road until you reach the fortress’s outer walls.
As you approach the fortress, your route becomes crucial. It is advisable to approach from the northern side. If you haven’t done so already, utilize the available viewpoint for a better vantage point. Once inside the castle’s perimeter, drop down into the main courtyard and navigate to the southeast corner of that northern area.
Here, you will discover an unassuming shallow stone square—although it may not look impressive, the true treasure lies within. Open the chest, and you will claim the Featherstorm.
