For now, we'll focus on unlocking them through AC: Shadows' main campaign. Which main quest unlocks Yasuke's Naginata in AC: Shadows? As a bladed melee weapon, the Naginata helps with multiple targets at the slight cost of defense. You can unlock it by eliminating the Naginata, also known as Akechi Kagemitsu. Screenshot by Destructoid Complete the following missions to find Kagemitsu: Lady of Whispers: Walk down memory lane with Lady Nene as Yasuke An Evening in Otsu: Speak to Aoi and eliminate ambushers at Seta Bridge Against the Koga-ryu: Meet up with Shotei and Katsuhime Showdown at Sakamoto: Eliminate Gamo Yoshimitsu and Akechi Kagemitsu The final mission, Showdown at Sakamoto, rewards you with the Sage's Reach Legendary Naginata. You'll finally unlock the Naginata tree in the Mastery, upgrading it with the points you acquire throughout the story. If you want to spice up your journey, this mission also paves the way to Naoe's Katsuhime romance story. Which main quest unlocks Yasuke's Kanabo in AC: Shadows? If you've watched the Shadows trailers, you may have seen Yasuke wielding the mighty Kanabo. This two-handed club has tremendous damage rates, ultimately knocking off an enemy's armor. However, given its massive size, it will make Yasuke fairly slow in movement. You can unlock the Kanabo by defeating the Ox (Bessho Harumasa) in the Shinbakufu quests. Screenshot by Destructoid Here's a look into the missions you must complete to reach this battle: A Voice in Anger: Help the abbot in Harima province and free Nakamura Tadashige Astray: Retrieve the Ox's invasion plan at the Hiraiyama Fort Brothers in Arms: Talk to the mysterious ronin north of Miki Docks (Harima) and kill/spare Commander Seiji Of My Enemy: Speak to Hiromichi and eliminate the Ox's lieutenant Broken Horn: Return to Nakamura Tadashige, kill the five teppo-wielding guards, and assassinate the Ox. When facing Bessho Harumasa, you must dodge his Kanabo attacks. Luckily, these swings are pretty easy to dodge due to the weapon's slow movements. Defeat him, and he will drop the Legendary Daybreak's Fury. Equip it whenever dealing with armored foes, helping you turn the tide in the battle.
