In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, The Tournament stands out as an exhilarating source of XP, rewarding you with an achievement and providing a thrilling experience. Here's how to conquer The Tournament and secure the "Test Your Might" trophy in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
How to Unlock and Find The Tournament in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, The Tournament quest is initiated by Gyoji, a resident of Yamato. After you've taken down several members of The Shinbakufu, Gyoji will be found waiting outside the hideout, eager to discuss the tournament with you. This clandestine fighting arena is nestled in Southeastern Yamato at Ominesanji Temple. To the west of this area, there's a viewpoint named Ominesanji Overlook, which you should synchronize to establish a fast travel point. We highly recommend doing this to facilitate your return to the location and to switch characters if needed effortlessly.
Upon reaching Ominesanji Temple, engage with Gyoji once more. He'll brief you on the task ahead: you must triumph in four one-on-one duels before facing the ultimate champion. Following this cutscene, you can signal the start of your first fight by ringing the bell.
How to Complete The Tournament in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
The Tournament is a gauntlet of high-stakes, life-or-death battles. Fortunately, you can take breaks between fights, as long as you need, by ringing the bell to initiate the next bout. Make sure to use these intervals to heal with rations and upgrade or swap your weapons and armor as necessary.
To defeat each opponent in The Tournament, we suggest using a long katana as Yasuke, relying heavily on dodging and parrying to exploit their vulnerabilities. Utilize abilities like Power Dash and Payback when you have enough adrenaline. Knowing your opponents' weapons can give you a strategic edge. Here's a rundown of the fighters you'll face:
- Lady Masago wields a Naginata.
- Lord Suguru brandishes a Katana.
- Lord Hokuto uses a Kanabo.
- Lady O-Sen fights with two Poison Katanas and throws ranged items.
- Lord Unkai employs a Naginata and can heal by drinking if you keep your distance for too long.
After conquering the first tournament, converse with Gyoji atop the hill. He'll express gratitude for his freedom and assure you of future tournament invitations. The "Test Your Might" trophy should unlock during this dialogue.
Best Loadout and Skills for Tournaments in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
For The Tournament, the Long Katana is your best bet in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. Equip the highest rarity Long Katana available and upgrade it to its maximum potential at your hideout's blacksmith. Enhancing it with engravings that boost Armor Damage or Armor Piercing can be a game-changer. However, your armor choice is equally crucial, not just for health boosts but also for combat-altering engravings.
Before heading to The Tournament, ensure you've unlocked the Samurai Daimyo Armor of Legend by defeating The Ox, a Shinbakufu member. Also, acquire the Protector’s Armor by completing a Castle mission. The Samurai Daimyo Armor of Legend offers a 75% damage increase at the cost of reducing your health to 25%, while the Protector’s Armor lets you parry unblockable attacks. Combining these engravings into one armor set allows you to dispatch tournament foes in under a minute, provided you master the art of parrying.
In terms of skills, invest your Mastery points heavily in the Long Katana and Samurai skill trees. Prioritize maxing out Combat Expert to enhance your melee damage, and unlock Power Dash and Payback for strategic advantages.
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is set to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on March 20th, offering players an immersive experience in this highly anticipated game.
