All Legendary Amulets & Trinkets In Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Amulets and Trinkets in Assassin's Creed Shadows are one of the various types of legendary pieces of equipment you can collect while exploring and completing different quests. Amulets can only be used by Yasuke, while Naoe is the only character who can use Trinkets. While there are plenty of epic and lower-quality trinkets and amulets scattered around AC Shadows' massive open world, legendary trinkets and amulets are more uncommon and often have much better buffs. Once you collect a trinket or amulet, its effect becomes available as an engraving, similar to how legendary armor and weapons work.

Legendary Trinkets and Amulets have a wide range of effects, and often these can be build-defining items, such as the Masakado's Vengeance trinket that increases damage for every unspent Mastery Point. Similar to legendary armor and legendary weapons in AC Shadows, when you pick up a legendary amulet or trinket, you also unlock an engraving that corresponds with that item's perk. No matter your playstyle, there are plenty of different amulets and trinkets for any type of build, and since AC Shadows lets you re-spec for free, you can experiment with each new item as you pick it up.

All Naoe's Legendary Trinkets In AC Shadows & How To Get Them

Masakado's Vengeance Is OP

Trinkets are specific to Naoe, and there are a wide range of options available, with some being available very early in the game and others located in somewhat obscure locations. There is a weapon-specific trinket that increases Naoe's stats if she only equips one of her three main weapon types in AC shadows - the Tanto, Kusarigama, or Katana. The Kusarigama is easily my favorite Naoe weapon, and the Fluttering Moth trinket is perfect for a Kusarigama-only build. Both the Dragonfly's Cunning and Omukade's Feast are viable for the same strategy with the Katana and Tanto, respectively.

Trinket	Location	Effect
Amaterasu's Blessing	Awarded during "A Prayer for Omi" quest	+10% damage per unused ability slot
Bone of the Fallen Warrior	Purchased from the Shadows Exchange (Gashadokuro Bundle)	Trigger Poison Buildup with Posture Attacks
Cerulean Puzzle	Shadows Project "The Legacy" level 13	+2 Health Segments removed on Running Assassination
Dragonfly's Cunning	Kill Corrupt Daikan The Hoarder, Izumi Bunzo, in Chikubushima	+15% to stats with only a katana equipped
Flight of the Ubagabi	Kill the Laughing Man Kaubukimono target	+1% adrenaline gain per Mastery Point in kusarigami
Fujin's Tempest	Complete Iron Hand Guild target board	+10% damage per alerted province
Fluttering Moth	Legendary chest in Four Devils Lair, Iga	+15% to Stats with only a Kusarigama equipped
Graceful Crane	Viewpoint near Koga	+150% to stats with no weapon equipped
Masakado's Vengeance	Complete Ishibutai Kofun	+1% damage per unspent mastery point
Oni's Fury	Legendary chest in Teratsutsuki Den	+15% damage per non-Legendary Gear Equipped
Omukade's Feast	Location currently unknown	+15% to stats with only a Tanto equipped
Otakemaru's Battlecry	Koriyama Camp	+1% health per mastery point in Shinobi
Tatsu's Triumph	Ogura Peak	+2% damage per mastery point in Tools
Soaring Tatsu	Complete the "Godai Shinobi" quest	+1 armor piercing per mastery point in Tanto

There's one trinket that outshines the others: Masakado's Vengeance, found in the Ishibutai Kofun in Yamato (also available as an Amulet for Yasuke). This trinket increases damage by 1% for each unspent Mastery Point, and if you've played enough AC Shadows, you'll understand that Mastery Points are not in short supply by any means. I often found myself with unspent Mastery Points without realizing it, as they are ubiquitous.

that you can engrave these legendary trinkets with any of the above abilities once the item has been picked up, so you aren't necessarily bound to a single effect. Experimenting with different combinations of effects and builds is an effective way to figure out what works best for you or which items are ideal for your playstyle.

All Yasuke's Legendary Amulets In AC Shadows & How To Get Them

Armor Eater Is An Easy Stat Booster For Yasuke

Yasuke's Amulets are the equivalent to Naoe's trinkets in Assassin's Creed Shadows, and there are similar options available in of weapon-specific buffs. The Armor Eater is easily the best version of this amulet, however, as it doesn't require you to only equip a single weapon type. Armor Eater boosts stats with a ranged weapon equipped, meaning if you're playing with a Bow or Teppo in Yasuke's secondary weapon slot, you can get an easy +15% boost without sacrificing a weapon slot. This is an excellent option for an engraving as well.

Amulet	Location	Effect
Armor Eater	Legendary chest near Aokura Shrine (Tamba)	+15% to stats with a ranged weapon equipped
Bone of the Fallen Warrior	Purchased from the Shadows Exchange (Gashadokuro Bundle)	Trigger Poison Buildup with Posture Attacks
Cerulean Core	Shadows Project "Awakening" level 13	+2 Health Segments removed on Brutal Assassination during the day
Encouragement	Kill The Blacksmith Agent Kurai Eikyou target	+15% to stats with only a Naginata equipped
Headhunter	Legendary chest near Blackstone Cascades (Harima)	+15% to stats with only a Long Katana equipped
Heartseeker	Defeat Marume Nagayoshi in "Nobutsuna’s Students"	+15% to stats with only a Kanabo equipped
Howl of the Dragon	Kill Baltazar during "A Promise" quest	+2% critical damage per Mastery Point in Long Katana
Kitsune's Trickery	Kill Takahashi Inoshichi Twisted Tree target	+1% health per mastery point in Samurai
Minogame's Protection	Complete the Corrupt Daikan Target board	+50% damage per empty Armor slot
Masakado's Vengeance	Complete Ishibutai Kofun	+1% damage per unspent mastery point
Oni's Fury	Kill The Noble Shinbakufu target in Himaji Castle	+15% Damage per non-legendary gear equipped
Scale of the Koi	Legendary chest near Onyu in Wakasa	+1% Armor Piercing per Mastery Point in Kanabo
Warrior's Respite	Complete Yasuke's journey to kill Dumante	1% headshot damage per mastery point in Teppo

Alternatively, Yasuke has similar options that allow for a single melee-weapon focus: the Encouragement amulet for Naginata, Headhunter for Long Katana, and Heartseeker for the Kanabo. Further, the both the Teppo and Kanabo's effects can be buffed with the Warrior's Respite and Scale of the Koi amulets, increasing the Tepp's headshot damage or the Kanabo's Armor Piercing effect. No matter your weapon of choice or playstyle for both Yasuke and Naoe, there are tons of different trinket and amulet options to experiment with in Assassin's Creed Shadows.
