You must eliminate two Samurai Daishos at Akagi Fort before you can claim the legendary chest. Below are the detailed locations:

  • Samurai Daisho #1: Referring to the map above will take you to a wooden bridge in the fort. Cross it and continue straight until you spot the first Samurai on your left.
