You need to be atKnowledge Rank 2to be able to unlock the Dual Assassination skill. You can reach that rank by completing enough shrines and temples around the world, collecting Lost Pages or praying at shrines. You’ll get one knowledge point each time you complete one.
Then, you need toequip a Tanto weaponinto your inventory. It can be in either weapon slot, but you need to have it equipped when playing. Justpress right on the d-pad to ensure it’s the weapon Naoe is currently using.
