Here is a guide on how you can get the Igan Sunset Tanto in Assassin’s Creed Shadows and a bit of information on what it offers.

The Igan Sunset is a Legendary Tanto in Assassin’s Creed Shadows with quite a powerful effect. You can find this weapon by opening the Legendary Chest in the Katano Foothills.
What makes this weapon so powerful is its Engraving, which can slow down time. This is very useful if you want to reposition after doing an Escape Strike. However, the effect only lasts for a brief period, so you need to be quick on your next move. Needless to say, it’s one of the most useful weapons in the game.

The Igan Sunset is located inside a Legendary Chest in Tozuku’s Lair, which is deep in the Katano Foothills of Izumi Settsu. The lair itself isn’t that hard to locate, but finding the exact spot of the chest is a bit tricky. You might need to deal with a few enemies once you are in the location. Make sure you are prepared to fight.
Once you clear the area, you need to head inside the house. The chest is placed just below a window and beside the front door. Don’t forget to open another chest inside a broken-down shed beside the house where the Legendary Chest is found.

How To Use Igan Sunset Tanto
The Igan Sunset Tanto is perfect for putting distance between you and your enemy. This is due to its Engrave effect, which can slow down time after pulling off an Escape Strike. This gives you a few moments to reposition or think of your next move before the enemy gets to react.
However, if you are already used to the mechanics of the game, the time slow may not be as useful for you. In that case, you are better off looking for other Tantos like the Call of the Void, which can deal massive damage to tagged enemies. This Tanto can be perfect for assassination builds where you need to one-shot enemies or at least deal a ton of damage before they fight back.
