This headgear perfectly complements a stealthy playstyle with its unique perk that significantly enhances your offensive capabilities when dispatching enemies from the darkness. Acquiring this titular hood, however, requires a strategic infiltration and the elimination of key targets within a heavily guarded location. This guide will lead you through the steps to claim the Yurei-Walker Hood.
A Guide on Acquiring the Yurei-Walker Hood in Assassin’s Creed Shadows:
The Yurei-Walker Hood is not simply found; it is the reward for a successful operation within Yamazaki Castle, located in the Yamashiro region. Specifically, this coveted headgear is contained within a Legendary Chest atop the castle. However, gaining access to this chest requires you to first overcome a significant challenge: defeating the castle’s five Samurai Daishos. These formidable warriors are strategically positioned throughout the castle grounds. Here are their locations:
- First Daisho: Eastern Castle Gate
- Second Daisho: Red Wooden Bridge
- Third Daisho: Overlooking the Water
- Fourth Daisho: Northern Large House
- Fifth Daisho: Courtyard Watch
Note on Character Choice: When infiltrating Yamazaki Castle, consider strategically switching between Yasuke and Naoe. While Yasuke’s strength might be beneficial in direct confrontations, Naoe’s agility and stealth skills are often better suited for quickly and silently assassinating the Daishos, allowing for a more efficient and less risky approach.
The Path to the Legendary Chest:
Once you have successfully located and defeated all five Samurai Daishos within Yamazaki Castle, your next objective is to find the key to the Legendary Chest. This key is located in the western tower of the keep.
Yurei-Walker Hood Stats and Perks (at Level 13):

By strategically infiltrating Yamazaki Castle, eliminating the five Samurai Daishos, acquiring the key from the western tower, and reaching the rooftop, you can claim the Yurei-Walker Hood, a valuable piece of Legendary gear that will significantly enhance Naoe’s effectiveness as a silent assassin in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Good luck with your infiltration!
