Howl of the Dragon Amulet Location in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Players will be able to get the Howl of the Dragon Amulet by killing Baltazar in the “A Promise” quest. It is the 73rd main story mission in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, so it will take a long time to get this particular amulet.

To start the “A Promise” main quest, you will have to open your objective, go to the Templar Order, and then choose the quest associated with Hosokawa Tama. After that, your first task will be to find and liberate Akechi Mitsuyoshi. He will be imprisoned in Kameyama Castle, Kameyama. It is located in the Tamba region. Once you have freed Mitsuyoshi, he will run out of the place, and you will have to follow him.

However, he will stop eventually, and then you will have to protect him from some enemies. Additionally, the second clearing will be empty, but at the third clearing, you will have to repeat the process and eliminate some hostile NPCs one more time to proceed further in the quest. After that, Akechi will ask you to retrieve a Katana. It is in the hands of Baltazar, the target you need to kill in order to get the Howl of the Dragon Amulet. The quest becomes quite simple from here.

Kill Baltazar To Get the Howl of the Dragon Amulet

Thankfully, Baltazar is not a difficult boss, so you won’t have much problem taking him down. Once you have killed Baltazar successfully, you will get the legendary Howl of the Dragon Amulet as a reward.
