Follow our comprehensive Assassin's Creed Shadows walkthrough for Katano Castle, detailing the locations of the Samurai Daisho, Insect Cage, and the Legendary Chest.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Katano Castle Location: Found northwest of your Hideout. Follow the road northwest from the Hideout, then take the west path at the fork. The castle is a restricted area; avoid the front entrance. Use the scaffolding on the northern end to infiltrate.
  2. 2
    Samurai Daisho Location 1: Infiltrate from the north. Head to the northeast corner of the castle grounds. The Daisho patrols along the wall. Use Eagle Vision to track him, stay out of sight, and assassinate him when the prompt appears. Clear out any snipers on the walls first.
  3. 3
    Samurai Daisho Location 2: From the main southern entrance, head east of the tenshu (tallest building). The Daisho patrols between two buildings, creating a blind spot. Use the bamboo scaffolding above to drop down and assassinate him.
  4. 4
    Valuable Object - Insect Cage Location: Enter the tenshu from the roof hatch (if playing as Naoe) or scale the exterior. Descend carefully, using Eagle Vision to identify noisy floor sections. Jump to beams to avoid noise and assassinate the guard on the floor below the servant. The Insect Cage is on this floor, marked with a fan-like icon. You can obtain it early, but the quest is received later.
  5. 5
    Legendary Chest Location - Tools Master Gear: The chest is inside the Tenshu, on the floor below the Insect Cage. Defeat both Samurai Daisho first. Deal with the servant and then the guard (using Shoji Door Assassination if available for Naoe). Open the Legendary Chest to receive the Tools Master Gear light armor and the Kunai Throw on Assassinate Engraving.
Tips
  • Use Eagle Vision frequently to spot enemies, tag them, and identify noisy floor sections.
  • Infiltrate Katano Castle from the north using scaffolding to avoid the restricted main entrance.
  • For Naoe, utilize the roof hatch and Shoji Door Assassination skill for stealthier approaches.
  • Ensure both Samurai Daisho are defeated before attempting to open the Legendary Chest.
