All Legendary Items and Their Locations in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Legendary items in Assassin’s Creed Shadows are the best items you can get in the game for either of the main characters. Each item has a legendary perk that buffs a certain playstyle, mastery skill or stats in general. AC Shadows legendary items can be found in castles and forts, obtained as quest rewards, from completing Kofun dungeons or found in hidden open world chests scattered across the game’s nine regions. In castles you’ll have to defeat Samurai Daishos to be able to loot the chest with the legendary item. I’ve compiled here a list of all legendary items in AC shadows with their name, perk, character they’re for and location in the world. This list will be divided by regions and ways you get the items. I hope it helps you find the perfect items for your playstyle.

Hidden Open World Legendary Chests in AC Shadows

There are 35 legendary chests hidden in the open world in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. They are very interesting because you can just run up to them in most cases and just loot the legendary from inside them. You don’t have to do a quest or defeat enemies to get them. This means that you can get them even at low levels. I’ve included the following information in the table below item name, perk, item type and character and subregion or POI. For video guide of all hidden open world legendary chest locations you can watch the video below.
