In the universe of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players can unlock various legendary weapons, including the esteemed Winds of War Kusarigama for the character Naoe. Unlike many other formidable tools, this particular Kusarigama is easily accessible, as it becomes available upon the completion of a pivotal late-game main story mission.
This guide will walk you through the steps necessary to acquire the Winds of War Kusarigama, ensuring you can wield this legendary weapon in your adventures.
How to Acquire the Winds of War Kusarigama
To obtain the Winds of War Kusarigama, you must successfully complete the “Darkness Falls” mission, which is part of the eleventh chapter titled Fall of the Shinbafuku. Your main target during this mission will be a member of the Onryo/Shinbafuku known as The Wise.
Tracking the Quest
To initiate this quest, navigate to the Shinbafuku circle menu and select the objective displayed beneath The Wise’s portrait. Keep in mind that this mission unlocks only after you have completed the preliminary missions: Temple Stories, Restless Spirits, and The Lost Envoys.
The Mission Details
To start the mission, make your way to Kokofuji Temple. Look for a leaning tree located to the southwest of the temple. Interacting with this tree will prompt you to select which character—Yasuke or Naoe—you wish to utilize for the mission. Your choice will significantly influence the playstyle.
Opting for Yasuke will lead you into a more combat-intensive scenario, where uncovering the identity of The Wise is your primary objective. Conversely, choosing Naoe will shift the focus towards stealth tactics aimed at unveiling a conspiracy.
As you progress through the various objectives, you will ultimately confront and eliminate The Wise. This act not only concludes the quest but also rewards you with the coveted Winds of War Kusarigama.
