Assassin’s Creed Shadows features a massive world for you to explore, filled with targets to kill and loot to find. The latter, especially, often works in synergy with the former. The better the loot you find, the easier you can shred through enemies in the land. When it comes to finding good loot, very few weapons come remotely close to The Iga’s Flame, a legendary katana in the game.

The Iga’s Flame is a legendary katana in Assassin’s Creed Shadows that boasts impressive base stats, in addition to other added perks.

The Iga’s Flame legendary katana is hidden away inside a legendary chest atop Mount Nukai in the Yamato region of AC Shadows. Mount Nukai lies in the mideastern region of Yamato, southeast of Uda Matsuyama. It is also directly north of the Hidden River subregion, as well as the Utano Tower viewpoint. 

We recommend making your approach from the Uda Matsuyama Tenshu viewpoint and scaling the mountain from the northwestern end. As you approach the Mount Nukai viewpoint, keep going further beyond and up across the climbable rocks. Your journey upwards will bring you towards a hidden cave covered by bamboos. Enter the cave and climb the stairs to find the legendary chest. Loot the chest to obtain the Iga’s Flame legendary katana.
