Where To Find Last Breath Bow in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

The Last Breath Legendary Bow can be obtained by completing the main story mission, Requiem for Rokkaku. It is a simple and short quest that takes place after you assassinate Akechi Kagemitsu, aka Naginata, which also rewards another Legendary weapon, Sage’s Reach Naginata. 

After completing the Showdown in Sakamoto mission, find and talk to Shotei at the Sakamoto Tower, located at the southeast of Mount Hiei in the Omi Province. If you stick to the cutscenes, you will see Shotei gift the Last Breath Bow to Yasuke, referring to it as the heirloom of the Rokkaku family. Speaking with Shotei completes the Requiem for Rokkaku and rewards you with the Last Breath Bow, along with the Affliction on Headshot Engraving.  

How To Use Last Breath Bow in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Last Breath is a Legendary Bow with one of the powerful unique perks in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. It enhances the effects of your Special Ammo on a headshot by triggering affliction. If you are running an affliction-based build, the Last Breath Bow should be your go-to choice. Ensure you have enough Special Ammo to fully utilize its perk.

Triggering a status effect such as Bleed or Poison leaves enemies with lingering negative effects, making it easy to finish them off. Additionally, it helps with effective arrow management as it reduces the usage of multiple arrows on affected enemies.
