When it comes to weapon variety, Assassin's Creed Shadows does not disappoint. There are a ton of weapons for both Naoe and Yasuke that can do a lot of damage on the battlefield, especially if you're against higher-level enemies in the late game. Myth Slayer is one of the legendary long katanas that players can unlock for Yasuke during one of the main quests. It's a pretty solid weapon that comes with a unique perk that can help make enemies vulnerable a lot easier.

Unlike other legendary weapons, the Myth Slayer cannot be found in the open world or in legendary chests locked inside a castle. Instead, players will need to complete "The Wheel Unmasked" story quest in the Mourner questline (Shinbakufu) in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Only after confronting the final boss can players have this weapon in their grasp and unleash havoc on enemies.

Completing The Wheel Unmasked Story Quest

Confronting the Mourner Wheel Unmasked Quest in AC Shadows

At the start of the mission, players will be required to investigate a group of corrupt tax collectors near the Shiotsu Shine. Upon further investigation, players will find out about a ceremony that's being organized in Chikubushima where the Mourner will be present.

So, Yasuke and Naoe head to the location to infiltrate the ceremony and put an end to the Mourner. Without spoiling the mission's plot, players will discover the Mourner's true identity and will need to decide whether to eliminate or spare them. Regardless of your choice, you'll receive the Myth Slayer legendary long katana at the end of The Wheel Unmasked quest.

In addition to the weapon, players will also unlock its unique perk, Improved Riposte, which can be engraved on all other legendary long katanas that Yasuke has. It's a must-have weapon for players who love playing with Yasuke and enjoy a more combat-focused experience of Assassin's Creed Shadows.
