How to Get the Armor of the Undead in Assassin's Creed Shadows

You can unlock the Armor of the Undead by purchasing it from the in-game store using Helix Credits, the premium currency in AC Shadows. The armor is part of the Gashadokuro Bundle, but it can also be bought on its own.

Here’s how it breaks down:

• Gashadokuro Dual Pack: 2300 Helix Credits
• Yasuke Pack (includes armor): 1800 Helix Credits
• Standalone Armor Only: 900 Helix Credits

What's special about the Armor of the Undead in Assassin's Creed Shadows

The Armor of the Undead comes with a Legendary Perk called Poison Cloud on Parry. Every time you perform a perfect parry, it drops a Poison Cloud around you. That cloud deals damage over time and weakens enemies caught inside, making them easier to take down.

It’s especially effective during crowd-control scenarios, where you’re fending off multiple enemies at once. The poison softens the group, giving you a clean setup to chain combos, trigger finishers, or land high-damage follow-up attacks.

To make the most of this armor, use engravings that improve how long your poison lasts, increase how much damage the poison does, or help you recover energy faster. These upgrades will let you stay in fights longer and perform more parries, which means more poison clouds and more damage to enemies.
