All Sakamoto Castle Samurai Daishos locations in Assassin's Creed Shadows

Before heading to the locations of Daishos, look out for white dots in your HUD for key points, loot, and enemies. Daisho Samurai are symbolized differently through a Samurai helmet icon, allowing them to stand out. These fighters are heavier than normal guards, so taking them out by stealth for speed assassinations is the best option in Assassin's Creed Shadows.

1) Samurai Daisho 1 – Armory (Western Section)

The first Samurai Daisho is located within the Armory, a storage room for equipment within the castle. He can be found in the western part, near a covered training area next to a cart. A well-timed explosive detonation will kill him instantly, or you can lure him away with Shinobi Bells for a sneaky kill.

2) Samurai Daisho 2 – West of the main building

After eliminating the first target, move east from the Armory to access the inner areas of the castle. There are a couple of guards in between — eliminating them silently will prevent the second Samurai Daisho from noticing you. This Daisho can be outside the west of the main building, having a training session with another guard. Wait until he gets distracted before taking him out.

3) Samurai Daisho 3 – Third Floor of the main building

After eliminating the second Daisho, infiltrate the central building, in which the Legendary Chest is housed. The third Samurai Daisho guards the third floor and serves as the last defense of the chest. Sneak in undetected and then assassinate him before looting there.

With all three Sakamoto Castle Samurai Daishos beaten in Assassin's Creed Shadows, the Legendary Chest can now be accessed.
