A guide to obtaining the Initiate Assassin Set in Assassin's Creed Shadows

How to acquire the headgear

The headgear for the Initiate Assassin Set in Assassin's Creed Shadows is called Tamakichi's Hood. It is located in the Senri Hills region of Izumi Settsu, just above Amagasaki. At the northeast part of the region/east of the Toneyama Post Town, is a quick point called Koyana Ruins. Use AC Shadows' fast travel mechanic to travel there.

Considering this hunt will involve parkour, it is recommended that you reach there as Naoe. Here, just slightly northwest of the point, you'll come across the Path of Valor.

This is a parkour challenge where you'll need to cross through different gaps to reach your destination. You just need to follow the yellow paint here (start by going north of the hut) and use your agility to cross the obstacles. At the end of this challenge, you'll come across a split boulder with a chest in front of it. This will house the titular headgear.

A handy tip: If you're not satisfied with the perks you get for these two items, you have the ability to change them. Just save before opening the chest and load it until you get a better perk via the reset RNG.

How to acquire the body armor

The body armor for this set is called Yu-no-shin's Gear. It is situated in the southern part of Iga, in Nabari Wilds. Here, you'll need to move south of the Akame Shi Waterfalls. This will introduce the entrance to the Path of Shadows. This, again, is a parkour-based encounter, so head there with Naoe. This isn't wildly different from any other challenges. Just follow the yellow paint and use your tools and agility to reach your destination.

Your end will be marked by a split boulder here too. Open the chest in front of it to find the body gear of the Initiate Assassin Set in Assassin's Creed Shadows.

While these two gear may seem different, you can get the Initiate Assassin look by navigating to the Visual Customizations option.
