In the realm of weaponry, Assassin’s Creed Shadows truly excels, offering an extensive arsenal for both Naoe and Yasuke. This diverse selection enables players to inflict substantial damage on adversaries, particularly when facing formidable foes during the late stages of the game. One standout weapon in this lineup is the Myth Slayer, a legendary long katana that Yasuke can acquire through a pivotal main quest.
Unlocking the Myth Slayer Legendary Long Katana in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Unlike many legendary weapons found in the open world or hidden within chests in castles, the Myth Slayer requires players to complete the “The Wheel Unmasked”story quest within the Mourner questline (Shinbakufu). Only after confronting the final boss in this quest will players gain possession of this powerful weapon, capable of wreaking havoc on their enemies.
Navigating The Wheel Unmasked Story Quest
The quest begins with players tasked to investigate a corrupt group of tax collectors near the Shiotsu Shrine. During this quest, they will uncover plans for a ceremony on Chikubushima, where the Mourner is set to appear. Yasuke and Naoe’s mission is to infiltrate this event and ultimately confront the Mourner.
To avoid spoilers, it suffice to say that players will learn the Mourner’s true identity, leading to a crucial choice: should they eliminate or spare this character? Regardless of the decision made, players will be rewarded with the coveted Myth Slayer long katana upon completing The Wheel Unmasked quest.
Attributes of the Myth Slayer Legendary Long Katana
The Myth Slayer boasts impressive attributes, including an ability that enhances Yasuke’s adrenaline gain significantly. A unique perk allows combo entries to transition into postured attacks, making it easier for Yasuke to break through enemy armor, particularly when facing high-level bosses.
In addition to the weapon itself, players unlock the unique perk, Improved Riposte, which can be inscribed on Yasuke’s other legendary long katanas. This makes the Myth Slayer an essential asset for those who prefer a combat-centric approach in their Assassin’s Creed Shadows gameplay experience.
