1) Samurai Daisho 1 – Central Courtyard

Entering the castle from the northwest is the safest route. The first Samurai Daisho is stationed in the central courtyard, near the main castle structure. He is positioned beside a guarded building, so take out the nearby sentry first to avoid unwanted attention. Once the coast is clear, use bushes for cover, move in, and execute a stealth assassination.

If fighting erupts, take care of the situation swiftly to avoid alerting the whole castle. After he is taken out, head towards the southeastern courtyard to find the second target.

2) Samurai Daisho 2 – Southeastern Courtyard

From the central courtyard, head toward the southeastern section of the castle. The second Samurai Daisho will be visible from a distance but is better approached from an elevated position. Jump across a wooden platform, then climb onto the roof to get a clear view of his patrol route.

He is only guarded by one additional enemy, making this an easier assassination. Use the surrounding bushes to sneak in, eliminate the guard, then take out the Samurai Daisho with a quick strike. With both targets down, you can now access the Legendary Chest without interference.
