How To Get Bloodshade Katana in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

Find out how you can unlock the Bloodshade Katana in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This early-game weapon can help Naoe easily beat enemies.

The opening hours of Assassin’s Creed Shadows put you in the shoes of Naoe before she is a master assassin. So, even bandits and minor enemies can take her down with just a couple of blows. Having a powerful weapon to defend and attack is crucial in these moments, and it can improve your survivability. Thankfully, you can get hold of the Bloodshade Katana in Assassin’s Creed Shadows quite early on. In this guide, we’ll help you locate and acquire this item. We will also explain how this Katana is a major upgrade over the one you have at the start.

Where To Get the Bloodshade Katana in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

You can get your hands on this legendary blade almost as soon as Naoe is able to traverse the open world. You need to look westward from the coast of Osaka. If you spot a ship floating around in the distance, that’s exactly where you need to go. Swim to the ship and start climbing up. However, keep in mind that the ship is full of enemies who will attack if you’re spotted.

You need to enter a room at the top of the ship, which looks almost like a castle. The Legendary Chest sits in a room with a Samurai guarding it. Interact with the chest to retrieve the legendary-tier Katana.

Like all other legendary items, the level of the Bloodshade Katana will scale with Naoe’s level. So, if you acquire the sword when you’re level 10, the Katana will be level 10 too.

How To Use the Bloodshade Katana

Equipping Naoe with the Bloodshade Katana will result in the following benefits:

• The sword has a bleed affliction.
• Its perk ensures that the bleed affliction buildup does not decay over time.

This means the Katana is perfect for dealing bleed damage over time to enemies. Your foes will continue to lose health automatically once you inflict the bleed status on them, helping you end fights sooner.
