Assassin's Creed Shadows features a large-scale map filled with locations to explore and NPCs to meet. However, it's not easy to travel from one location to another on foot. So, this is where the trusty steed comes in. Mount is an essential part of the exploration and always a whistle away from running at your assistance. Although players can purchase a higher rarity mount from an ornament vendor, there isn't a legendary option. However, players can get a legendary mount in AC Shadows if they know where to look.

Legendary Mount Location in Assassin's Creed Shadows

To get the legendary mount in Assassin's Creed Shadows, players will need to travel to Okishima (Cat) Island in the Omi province. The island is located in the center of Lake Biwa, so players will have to find a boat to get to the island. Although it is possible to swim there, it will take an unnecessary amount of time.

If you have already visited the island, you can simply fast travel to a synchronization point or the Okishima Kakurega.

Players can visit Azuchi and get a boat from the Trade Harbor point of interest. There is always at least one boat docked in the harbor, ready for the taking. Just in case there isn't one, players can simply jump in the water, and a boat fisherman will eventually row a boat toward you that you can commandeer. Once you have a boat, start rowing towards Okishima Island.

How to Get the Secret Legendary Namazu Mount in Okishima

Once you arrive at Okishima Cat Island, head to the western part of the island (location marked on the map above). Once you arrive at the location, you'll notice a lit bonfire near the shore. Dive into the water to the right of the bonfire and look for a cave entrance underwater. Once you find it, head inside and quickly surface on the other side to avoid running out of breath.

Now, you'll be inside an underwater cavern. Dive in the water again, right in the center of the cave, and you'll spot a box that you can loot to get the legendary Namazu Mount in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Simply switch over to the mount in the inventory screen and ride it off into the sunset.
