How to obtain the Last Breath Bow in Assassin's Creed Shadows

The Last Breath Bow in Assassin's Creed Shadows is a story-locked reward, and if you're progressing naturally through the campaign, you can’t miss it. Unlike most other gear that shows up through exploration or optional quests, this one gets handed to you directly, and it’s got some serious firepower to back up its name.

Here’s how and exactly when you get the legendary bow in Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Location and how to find the Last Breath Bow in Assassin's Creed Shadows

You'll acquire the Last Breath Bow after finishing the Requiem for Rokkaku quest. This mission is brief but crucial as it occurs directly after the main story fight in which you kill Akechi Kagemitsu — the boss connected with the mission Showdown in Sakamoto. Once Kagemitsu is out of the way, head directly to Sakamoto Tower, found in the southeastern part of Mount Hiei located in Omi Province.

You’ll find Shotei waiting there. Speak with him, and that brief dialogue automatically wraps up the Requiem for Rokkaku quest. You don’t need to fight anyone or complete objectives — just let the cutscenes play out. During the exchange, Shotei refers to the Last Breath Bow as a Rokkaku family heirloom, and he passes it on to Yasuke.

You won’t see the Requiem for Rokkaku quest until you’ve finished the major story mission Showdown in Sakamoto, and taken down Kagemitsu. Once that’s done, the side quest becomes available under the People of Omi section in your Objectives Board. It's listed under Shotei, and all you need to do is activate it to start tracking the location.

What you get from this quest

Completing the Requiem for Rokkaku quest will land you a couple of solid rewards aside from just the legendary bow. Here's what you'll walk away with:

• Last Breath (Legendary Bow)
• Affliction on Headshot (Engraving)
• Shooting Range (Outdoor Cosmetic item)
• 1000 XP

The mission might be short and story-focused, but the rewards are worth showing up for, especially if you’re building Yasuke into a mixed-combat stealth beast.
