The Artist's Tear Tanto is one of the strongest weapons in the game and is a great choice if you want your Naoe to be built like a frontline warrior. It has some of the highest DPS output and can easily destroy enemies due to its perk of dealing increased damage on consecutive hits.

The Artist's Tear Tanto in Assassin's Creed Shadows can be found in the Takagi Otsuka Fort in Harima. This is the easiest castle in the game, as it is quite small and requires you to defeat only one Samurai Daisho. You can find this fort in the Kanki Burning Fields area of Harima, north of Kakogawa Estuary.

To reach the fort, travel to either the Takasago Kakurega in Kakogawa Estuary or Mount Tatsu. Alternatively, if you have unlocked the Riverside Kakurega, it will be a fairly short hike to get to the Takagi Otsuka Fort. Once you reach the location, take out the Daisho and loot the chest beside the Takagi Kofun in Assassin's Creed Shadows to unlock your reward.
