Assassin’s Creed Shadows features three iconic Assassin outfits that fans of the franchise will want to unlock: the Initiate, Apprentice, and Master outfits. By following this guide, you can step into these legendary looks simply by playing through the game.
Unlocking the Initiate Assassin Outfit in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
To acquire the Initiate Assassin Outfit, you’ll need to explore two distinct locations, as the hood is found separately. Here’s a step-by-step guide to finding the essential gear.
- Head to the Yamashiro region and activate the Yamazaki Tenshu fast travel point.
- Once there, look northwest for a question mark indicating the Eagle’s Nest.
- This will lead you along the Path of the Brave. Stick to the yellow paint-like markers along the cliffs.
- At the end of the path, you’ll find a loot chest containing the Hibiki Gear.
Now, let’s find the hood to complete the outfit.
- Travel to the Izumi Setsu region and reach Senri Hills.
- Locate the POI named Toneyama Post Town and the fast travel point called Koyana Ruins.
- Proceed past the fast travel location to find the Path of Valor.
- Stay on course, and this path will lead you to the chest containing the hood, completing the Initiate Assassin outfit.
The completed outfit is predominantly black, perfect for fans of darker aesthetics.
Unlocking the Apprentice Assassin Outfit in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
The second Assassin Outfit is the Apprentice Outfit, which can be unlocked with the following steps.
- Follow Naoe’s personal stories from your objective board and complete the Kiji-Kuri missions.
- Gain access to the Wolves and Foxes mission.
- The Wolves and Foxes mission introduces Naoe to Hanzo. After their conversation about her parents, you’ll unlock the Secrets of the Blade mission.
- This mission transports you to the Settsu region, where you will encounter a Kofun. You can reach Settsu earlier, but you need to complete the Secrets of the Blade mission to acquire the outfit.
- Proceed to the Kofun and follow the mission marker to discover a secret room.
- Inside this room, there is a dummy dressed in an Assassin outfit that you can collect.
Retrieve the outfit to now add the Apprentice Assassin Outfit to your collection.
Unlocking the Master Assassin Outfit in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
The Master Assassin Outfit is easier to obtain than the others but may require a substantial time commitment.

- Once Shinbakfu is closed, you will unlock the epilogue section of the game.
- Complete the personal stories of Naoe, Yasuke, and Junjiro.
