Assassin’s Creed Shadows features 10 different parkour challenges throughout the open world called Hidden Trails. Each Hidden Trail has its own unique name and rewards players with loot upon completion. One of these challenges is called the Path of the Blade, and we will be showing you how to complete it in the most efficient way.

Keep in mind that only Naoe can undertake these Hidden Trail challenges, so make sure that you switch to her before you start them.

Parkour Guide

Once players arrive at the location given above, they must make their way forward until they find a rock with yellow paint on it. Climb up this rock and press L1/LB to swing to the other side. Now, climb up more rocks marked by the yellow paint and make your way up. Once that is done, make your way up the stairs and climb up the wall behind the tree branch. Now, move forward and climb up more yellow-painted rocks to progress further.

After squeezing through a narrow passageway, head forward and angle the camera upward. Now, press L1/LB to swing to the other side. Keep in mind, even if players fail the jump here, they can still make their way to the broken wooden bridge by climbing the rocks located toward the right. After this, move forward, climb up more yellow rocks, and then swing to the other side yet again.

Now, proceed forward and climb up the wall to the left of the Assassin’s symbol. After this, swing from the two tree branches, and the treasure chest will be right there.

Rewards

Players will obtain Sumire’s Gear, which is an Epic Light Armor.
