How To Get Lustrous Pearl Naginata in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

The Lustrous Pearl is a powerful Naginata in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, but acquiring the Legendary weapon requires effort. 

Naginata serves as an ideal weapon choice for Yasuke in handling multiple enemies, as these long pole weapons excel in crowd control. Additionally, the sharp-edged blade allows him to cut enemies from a safe distance. While Assassin’s Creed Shadows features various Legendary Naginatas, Lustrous Pearl is a little trickier to use. 

Acquiring the powerful Naginata is no easy task. You need to traverse through one of the Hidden Trails and defeat a Yamabushi. This guide aids you in acquiring the Lustrous Pearl Naginata in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, while also exploring its perks and stats.

Where To Find Lustrous Pearl Naginata in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

You can obtain the Lustrous Pearl Naginata by killing the Clifftop Yamabushi as a part of the Yamabushi Imposters quest board. This questline can be initiated by interacting with Genpaku at Mitarai Valley. It revolves around hunting a group of strange men who disguise themselves as Yamabushi to carry out harmful activities. The Clifftop Yamabushi is one of the nine Yamabushi Impostors and can be found at the end of the Path of the Chosen, a Hidden Trail located between Kii and Iseji. 

Navigating the Path of the Chosen is complex, as it requires extreme parkour and tracking a long-hidden route. You will find the Clifftop Yamabushi at the end of the Path of the Chosen and will earn the Lustrous Pearl Naginata upon assassinating him. Additionally, you will receive the Knockdown on Postured Combo Ender Engraving. 

How To Use Lustrous Pearl Naginata in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

The Lustrous Pearl is a Legendary Naginata for Yasuke with a unique perk that knocks down enemies upon successful Postured combo enders. While it gives you an advantage by knocking down enemies, executing full combos against stronger enemies can be challenging, as they often interrupt the combo by parrying or blocking.

However, if you manage to land a Postured combo ender on your foes, it will knock them, providing you with an edge in the battle. Additionally, Lustrous Pearl enhances your Critical Damage attribute, increasing your chances of landing critical strikes more frequently.
