The Violet Night Katana builds up poison and comes with a unique perk, making it an essential weapon to obtain in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Katana is Naoe’s primary weapon, allowing her to fight gracefully and slice through her foes. The Violet Night is one of the various Legendary Katanas of Naoe, particularly suited for a poison-based build.
While it comes with a unique perk, you can also engrave an additional perk to enhance the Katana, making it more fierce and deadly. Violet Night Katana can be obtained in a unique questline, which is built around the various folklores of Japan, including Daitengu, Kappa, and Oshiroi Baba. Let’s dive into how to acquire the highly sought-after Violet Night Katana and how to use the Legendary weapon effectively in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

How to Obtain Violet Night Katana in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Violet Night is a Legendary Katana that can be obtained by slaying Yuki Onna during the side quest, The Yokai. The entire questline focuses on various Japanese folklore, with Yuki Onna (the Snow Woman) being one of the mythical beings featured.
The Yokai is another great example of Ubisoft’s blending of Japanese traditions and culture through Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Yuki Onna is located inside the Kawachi Kaza-ana Cave, north of Suzuka Foothills in the Omi region. You will find her deeper inside the cave. Defeating Yuki Onna rewards you with the coveted Violet Night Legendary Katana, along with the Affliction After Deflect Engraving and 330 Mon.
How to Use Violet Night Katana in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
The Legendary Katana Violet Night is considered one of the best Katanas in the game. While it boasts high Weapon and Posture DPS, what sets it apart is its Poison Buildup. As the poison builds on enemies over time, it deals light damage, interrupts their attack, and even causes them to vomit. Additionally, the Katana features a unique perk, which triggers poison on successful deflects. If you prefer a poison build, Violet Night Katana should be an ideal choice for your arsenal.
