Every Legendary Armor for Yasuke in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

There are fourteen legendary armor sets available for Yasuke in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Every set is divided into two parts: headgear and body gear. So, you will have to go hunting for a total of twenty-eight different items if you want to collect every armor set on this list. However, we should warn you that it won’t be easy. While some of the gear will be available in the store or as a reward for a quest, the majority of them will be located in various castles and forts.
And since Yasuke is not the best at parkour, you will have to fight your way to the legendary chests in the mentioned castles. So with that said, let’s take a look at all of Yasuke’s Legendary Armor Sets.
