Get the Encouragement Amulet to boost your Naginata stats in Assassin’s Creed Shadows and become more effective in combat.

Amulets in Assassin’s Creed Shadows serve to boost your stats and give you different buffs. This type of equipment is used as enhancements to the skills and weapons you already have, and they are a great way to gain the extra edge in your playthrough. However, before you go out into the world of Shadows to find these pieces of gear, you must know that only Yasuke can use amulets. The Encouragement Amulet in AC Shadows is a reward in the Kurai Eikyou sidequest.
This particular engraving gives you a +15% boost to your stats if you have a Naginata equipped.
Encouragement Amulet Location in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

As we mentioned earlier, players can find the Encouragement Amulet for Yasuke during the Kurai Eikyou questline in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. During this side quest, you will have to assassinate five individuals. Additionally, the amulet will be a reward for eliminating the Blacksmith Agent in this shadow organization.
Once you speak to Fuyu during the hunt for The Wise, a Shinbakufu member, the Kurai Eikyou group will appear on your objective board. Then, you can select each target to kill until you reach the Blacksmith Agent. After killing the Tsutsui Agent in Koriyama Castle, you can complete the Messenger’s side quest to learn about the Blacksmith Agent. Additionally, you can also eavesdrop on two blacksmiths in Uda Town, located in Yamato, to get information on your target.
When you are prepared to grab the Encouragement Amulet from your prey, head to Miyataki. Then, head straight to the south of Uda Matsuyama, near the end of the river. There, you will be able to find the Blacksmith Agent with the Gear Vendor in the same building.
