Double Assassinationshave long been an important part of the Assassin’sCreedfranchise’s combat system, but many players will notice they cannot be performed early inAssassin’s Creed Shadows.A quick look through the skill tree early in the game will come up empty, meaning many players may assume this powerful combat mechanic must be absent from the franchise’s newest entry. However, players hoping to take out two enemies at a time will be happy to know this isn’t the case. While it is well-hidden in the skill trees, rest assured that you canunlock Double Assassinations inAssassin’s Creed Shadows.
How to Unlock Double Assassinate in AC Shadows
Acquire a Tanto for Naoe:
Currently, only Naoe can perform the Double Assassinate skill. Yasuke has a completely different fighting style, which does not lend itself to the typical Assassin skill set.
The first step to unlocking the Double Assassination inAssassin’s Creed Shadowsis to find a Tanto, which is a smaller secondary weapon for Naoe. While it is possible to come across a Tanto by chance, it is well worth taking the time to collect at least oneLegendary Tanto.There are several that can be found quite early in the game. The best is calledIgan Sunset, and can be collected as soon as you have the freedom to do so.
You’ll find this Tanto in the Legendary Chest located inTozuku’s Lair,a small POI in theKatano Foothillsregion ofIzumi Settsu. The chest is located inside one of the run-down structures.
you may also purchase a Tanto from the various Gear Vendors found in the major cities. However, there is no reason to waste the Mon on this, asIgan Sunsetis incredibly easy to collect, and can actually serve as a great secondary weapon for the length of the game.
