In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, The Tournament is not just a thrilling challenge but also a prime source of XP and the key to unlocking the "Test Your Might" trophy. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to conquer The Tournament and claim your well-deserved achievement.
How to Unlock and Find The Tournament in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
To embark on The Tournament quest, you'll need to meet Gyoji, a resident of Yamato. After eliminating several members of The Shinbakufu, Gyoji will be waiting outside your hideout, eager to discuss the tournament. This clandestine fighting arena is nestled within the Southeastern part of Yamato at the Ominesanji Temple. Nearby, there's a viewpoint known as the Ominesanji Overlook to the west, which you should synchronize to establish a fast travel point. This makes revisiting the location and switching characters a breeze.
Upon reaching Ominesanji Temple, engage with Gyoji again. He'll brief you on the task ahead: you must triumph in four one-on-one duels before facing the ultimate champion. After this briefing, you're ready to ring the bell and commence the first fight.
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, allowing you to rest as needed before ringing the bell to initiate the next challenge. Utilize this time to heal with rations and consider upgrading your weapons and armor to stay in top form.
To conquer each opponent, equip Yasuke with a long katana and master the art of dodging and parrying to exploit their vulnerabilities. Don't hesitate to deploy abilities like Power Dash and Payback when your adrenaline levels permit. Knowing your opponents' weapons can give you an edge. Here's a breakdown of the fighters you'll face:
- Lady Masago wields a Naginata.
- Lord Suguru uses a Katana.
- Lord Hokuto fights with a Kanabo.
- Lady O-Sen employs two Poison Katanas and throws ranged items.
- Lord Unkai also uses a Naginata and can heal by drinking if you keep your distance too long.
After defeating the final opponent, converse with Gyoji once more on the hill. He'll express gratitude for your efforts and hint at future tournaments. This dialogue should trigger the unlocking of the "Test Your Might" trophy.
Best Loadout and Skills for Tournaments in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
The Long Katana is your weapon of choice for The Tournament. Opt for the highest rarity you possess and upgrade it at your hideout’s blacksmith to its maximum potential. Enhancing it with engravings that boost Armor Damage or Armor Piercing will significantly improve your combat effectiveness. Your armor choice is equally crucial, not only for boosting health but also for the combat-altering abilities provided by engravings.
Prior to entering The Tournament, ensure you've unlocked the Samurai Daimyo Armor of Legend by defeating The Ox, a member of The Shinbakufu. Additionally, secure the Protector’s Armor from one of the Castles. The former offers a 75% damage increase at the cost of limiting your health to 25%, while the latter enables you to parry unblockable attacks. Merging these engravings into one armor set allows you to dispatch The Tournament's foes in under a minute, provided you parry skillfully and frequently.
Invest your Mastery points into the Long Katana and Samurai skill trees, prioritizing Combat Expert to enhance your melee damage, and unlocking Power Dash and Payback.
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is set to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on March 20th, offering players a chance to test their might in The Tournament and beyond.
