Assassin's Creed Shadows offers a bunch of armor and headgear that looks cool but doesn't have the same appearance as the classic assassin suit. For players who want to wear the assassin robes and take the form of a classic assassin, they can unlock the apprentice assassin outfit by completing a quest. Even if the gear that comes with the skin isn't as powerful, players can still transmog the look onto other gear pieces of their choice.

How to Unlock the Assassin Outfit in Assassin's Creed Shadows

Players can unlock the apprentice assassin outfit during the Secrets of the Blade quest in Assassin's Creed Shadows. It's part of The Assassins questline, which puts Naoe on a path to explore her mother's connection to the group of assassins. So, players will venture to the Old Kofun and enter it to explore previously unexplored areas.

Here's how to find the assassin outfit in the Tomb of the Ancients

  1. Enter the Tomb of the Ancients through a crack in the wall from the western side.
  2. Head down the tomb and use the crawlspace to get to the other side. Make sure to loot any chests and pick up any quest items along the way.
  3. Keep following the path into the tomb and take a left to arrive at a pond. Use the grappling hook to reach the other side.
  4. At the end of the path, Naoe will need to dive into the pond ahead and swim underwater to reach the next section.
  5. After crawling through another narrow opening, Naoe will arrive in a lit, flooded cave. Use the grapple twice to get across.
  6. Head left from the empty chest and crawl up the shaft, then use the grapple to reach the top.
  7. Now, Naoe will head through a trail of dead bodies, eventually arriving at an assassin sigil. Interacting with the sigil will let Naoe insert her hidden blade into a small opening to open the secret room.

Now, players can simply check out the room for any quest items and pick up the apprentice assassin outfit before they leave the Tomb of the Ancients to meet Yasuke outside. Players have now unlocked the assassin outfit and its skin, which can be transmoged onto any piece of gear you have in Assassin's Creed Shadows.

There's another assassin that players will unlock toward the end of the game.
