How to get the Last Breath Bow in Assassin's Creed Shadows?

If you’re hunting the legendary Last Breath Bow in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, stop grinding side quests and diving into random shrines. This isn’t loot you stumble upon—it is tied to a key story moment, and if you're not paying attention, you might just miss its significance. And the moment you get it? Pure power surge.

Here's the ultra-clean breakdown of when, where, and how to secure this legendary weapon in your arsenal.
The Bow That Finds YouUnlike most legendary gear in the game, the Last Breath Bow doesn’t hide behind a cryptic side quest, obscure collectible, or random chest. Instead, it drops straight into your inventory as a story reward. No puzzles. No boss fights. Just progression.


How to Get the Last Breath Bow?The journey starts with a key boss battle in the main mission “Showdown in Sakamoto.” Kagemitsu is no pushover, so be ready for a fight. Once you take him down, things start to unfold quickly.

Immediately after that battle, a new quest pops up: “Requiem for Rokkaku.” You’ll see it in your Objectives Board under the People of Omi section. It’s short. It’s cinematic. And it's your direct line to the Last Breath Bow.

Here’s what to do next:

Follow the quest marker to Sakamoto Tower, located in the southeastern part of Mount Hiei in Omi Province. There’s no need to fight or sneak around — this is a pure story moment.

There, you’ll find Shotei, waiting.

Speak to him — and that’s it. No combat. No side objectives. A short cutscene plays, and Yasuke inherits the Last Breath Bow as a Rokkaku heirloom.

Why It’s Worth ItThe Last Breath Bow isn’t just legendary in name — it delivers legendary stats, especially once you hit level 60:

• Weapon DPS: 4155
• Headshot DPS: 12188
• Ability DPS: 19944

It also comes with a powerful engraving: “Affliction on Headshot” — great for poisoning, burning, or bleeding enemies from afar.

You’ll also score:

• A Shooting Range (cosmetic item for your hideout)
• 1000 XP
• And of course, the satisfaction of wielding one of the deadliest bows in feudal Japan.

If you’re molding Yasuke into a silent-but-deadly sharpshooter or hybrid warrior, this bow becomes a centerpiece of your arsenal.

To sum it up? Keep your story progression tight. Beat Kagemitsu. Talk to Shotei. Claim your bow. Done. The Last Breath isn’t something you earn by exploring every inch of the map—it’s something you’re trusted with at the perfect story moment. And once it’s yours, enemies won’t even get a chance to breathe.
