The Hidden Blade is an iconic dagger that Naoe will equip in the game. This detailed article will tell you everything you need to know about the Hidden Blade in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

How To Get the Hidden Blade in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

During a cutscene in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Oda Nobunaga’s army will unleash an attack, and Nagato and Naoe will ride to Aekuni Shrine to seek assistance. Upon arriving, Nagato will hand over a letter to Sandayu and inform him that it is not only Oda who is coming for a fight.

Nagato will join Sandayu for the intense battle against the enemy forces. Before heading out, he will give the Hidden Blade to Naoe, simultaneously assigning her a task to run to the Kofun in the mountains and protect a hidden box there.

Guide to Use Hidden Blade in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, out of the two protagonists, Naoe is a shinobi who blends stealth and agility in her combat style. The Hidden Blade is a retractable blade that Naoe mounts on her left forearm using specialized gear. Thus, the Hidden Blade complements Naoe’s abilities.

Naoe can initiate quick and deadly strikes on enemies with the help of this Hidden Blade. However, the Hidden Blade has minimal range, so Naoe will have to use her stealth skills to get near the enemy and then eliminate him with the Hidden Blade.

The Hidden Blade is perfect for close combat, air assassinations, and fighting individual enemies. Additionally, the Blade can be used as a fierce secondary weapon when paired with the Tanto as the primary.

Once Naoe unlocks Hidden Blade, he is an unstoppable force.
