Your quest to hunt down every fort and castle inAssassin’s Creed Shadowstakes you to the oft-overlooked Genbao Fort, as this small area is tucked away on a mountainside. While it might seem easier touse Yasuke’s powerful array of skillsto slice through enemies, including the reinforcements who come with a wanted level, it takes a while.
Instead, we’ll focus on a Naoe-centric run through this area, focusing onusing our stealth abilities and tools to remain hiddenand undetected rather than announcing our presence with clanging blades. Here’s how to find both Samurai Daisho and the Legendary Chest in Genabo Fort.
