Location

The Ancient Crescent Naginata is available from a Legendary Chest at Kashiwabara Fortress. This fortress is found in the Ibu Highlands in the Omi province, to the east of Nagahama Castle and close to the eastern shores of Lake Biwa.

You cannot open the chest as soon as you get to Kashiwabara Fortress. It will be guarded by Samurai Daisho, an intimidating warrior that you must defeat first if you want to obtain the weapon. He keeps patrolling in front of the chest, so you don't have to venture all around the fortress looking for him.

Once you take him down, you can loot Legendary Chest and collect the Time-Honored Crescent Naginata as well as the Improved First Strike Engraving.

Why the Time-Honored Crescent Naginata is worth it

At Level 60, this Legendary Naginata comes with the following stats:

Weapon DPS: 3,740
Posture DPS/Headshot DPS: 18,282
Ability DPS: 19,944

But what truly makes it stand out is its unique perk — its first strike applies a vulnerability effect for 8 seconds. This makes it especially useful in duels and prolonged fights, as enemies will repeatedly be weakened, making them easier to take down.
