Where To Find the Master Archer Outfit Set in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

While the Master Archer Outfit set contains a Legendary Armor and a Legendary Helmet, they must be obtained separately by clearing two different castles.

Master Archer Outfit

The Master Archer Outfit can be obtained by opening the Legendary Chest at Tsuruga Castle. The castle is located east of the Sotomo Gate in the Wakasa province. However, before opening the chest, you should defeat the two Samurai Daisho within the castle. Upon defeating them, open the Legendary Chest to obtain the Master Archer Outfit, a Legendary Armor. You will also receive the Ranged Damage Out of Combat Engraving.

Master Archer Headband

To acquire the Master Archer Headband, you must open the chest at the Kanegasaki Castle. This time, you need to eliminate four Samurai Daisho inside the castle to get access to the Legendary Chest. Opening the chest rewards you with the Legendary Helmet, Master Archer Headband, and the Slow Time on Headshot Engraving.

How To Use the Master Archer Outfit Set in AC Shadows

While the Master Archer Outfit is powerful on its own, it can be further enhanced when paired with the Master Archer Headband. The outfit set considerably enhances Yasuke’s ranged attacks and can be a game-changer.

The Master Archer Outfit can give you a head start during combat openings. It increases ranged weapon damage by +200% when you are out of combat, allowing a massive advantage when initiating fights. Moreover, equipping the Master Archer Headband further enhances your archery playstyle. It slows down time by 8 seconds when landing headshots, making it easier to land critical shots. Apart from these, the two Legendary gears boost the Vulnerable Damage and Adrenaline Gain stats respectively, making Yasuke more powerful and deadlier.
