Eliminating all five targets

The Whisper of Muramasa Long Katana is the final reward for completing the Kurai Eikyou target board in Assassin's Creed Shadows. This target board is tied to the People of Yamato and consists of five assassination targets, each located in a different part of the Yamato region.

Here are the five targets you need to eliminate:

1) The Messenger

• Shade of Blight Naginata

2) Akiyama Agent

• How to find him: First, you’ll need to eliminate mercenaries tormenting a local village. Afterward, you’ll discover that the Akiyama Agent is inside the castle, heavily guarded.

• Repeating Fate Teppo

3) Blacksmith Agent

Location: Miyataki, Yamato, southeast of Utano Tower.

• How to find him: He is best approached at night when he is alone in a secluded area.

Reward:

• Encouragement Amulet

4) Katsuragi Agent

Location: Gokenin Manor, Katsuragi, Yamato.

• How to find him: His exact location is unlocked through a side quest, but he is generally found inside a heavily guarded estate. The best way to eliminate him is at night, using stealth.

Reward:
