To claim the unique gear available from forts and castles in Assassin's Creed Shadows, Yasuke and Naoe must first defeat the Samurai Daisho.

Having the ability to not only block, but Parry red attacks as Yasuke is a game-changer for combat. This makes the Protector's Armor the best early-game armor for Yasuke. There is really no need to find another Legendary Chest Armor piece until much later in the game.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is here. Ignoring every controversy and internet fight, at its core, this is a very good game.
