The Swift Shinobi Hood in Assassin’s Creed Shadows can be found in the Iga Province of Feudal Japan. You will need to loot the Legendary Chest in the Kunimiyama Fort to get this headgear. Like other castles in AC Shadows, you must take out a few Samurai Daishos before you can do so.

You can fast travel to the Ichinomiya Abandoned Outpost viewpoint or the Aekuni or Mibuno Kakuregas to reach the fort. Fortunately, there is only one Samurai Daisho in the fort. Killing him will allow you to unlock and loot the Legendary Chest. There is also other loot around the castle, giving you more resources for your Hideout in AC Shadows.

Looting the Legendary Chest will reward you with the Swift Shinobi Hood in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. It comes with a unique perk that slows down time when you are detected. This allows Naoe to quickly take out enemies who spot her, allowing her to maintain a low profile in danger zones throughout Feudal Japan. It is one of the best armor pieces you can obtain for Naoe.
