You will have known that exploring and unearthing secret or legendary gear is a sure thrill. Of all the myriad secrets within AC Shadows, one stands out: a Legendary Chest in Koromodako Cave. This chest is rare not just for the fact that it exists, but also for the great rewards one can get from it, as well as where exactly it is situated. Hidden in an obscure place, it promises a hefty pay-off and sense of accomplishment to players who can find it.

Prerequisites for Accessing Koromodako Cave

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players will have to complete a series of important prerequisites to access the Koromodako Cave. The cave will remain locked all the while until “Pirate Alliance” quest board is completely done. All crucial NPCs relevant to the Pirate Alliance story must have been dealt with. Also, the player should have taken out targets such as Takeda Motoaki, or “The Performer,” in the Shinbakufu faction.

Furthermore, players have to complete the Oni-Yuri questline and recruit her into their ranks. Only then can players meet Shido, the Biwa Master, who will hand a key and an enigmatic poem unlocking the cave entrance.

Locating Koromodako Cave and the Chest

The cave is a secret place that has no indication on the map until the aforementioned prerequisites are met. If you come early, before the requirements for access are completed, the entrance will look just like a normal cliff wall and will be impassable. When these quest lines are completed and the key obtained from them, the entrance to Koromodako Cave will appear.

The cave is located within Wakasa province, in the northwestern part of the subregion of the Shattered Coast. The entrance can be identified when you reach a certain area with two waterfalls. There may be an additional comment from your character upon arrival at the place, meaning you’ve reached the correct place. 

When players arrive, they will find a man sent by the Biwa Master near the cave entrance. He will no longer block entry once the requirements are fulfilled. There is no need to talk to him, so you can go right into the cave once it becomes accessible.

To get to the chest, you’ll need to swim underwater for a little while and pass under the stalagmites. Although if you’d prefer it, there’s a gap large enough at the surface to swim through. The cave opens up onto the other side into a shallow pool, with the Legendary Chest sitting right on top of the central rock formation.

What’s Inside the Legendary Chest

The Legendary Chest in the Koromodako Cave conceals a truly rare and powerful artifact: Fujin’s Tempest, a legendary amulet meant specifically for Yasuke. This amulet is characterized by the beautiful aesthetics of its design and its core feature. It has an exclusive Legendary Perk that grants Yasuke a damage increase of 10% for each province where he’s deemed wanted.

This feature finds maximum utilization in aggressive or high-profile playstyles that take advantage of Yasuke’s notoriety across the far-ranging provinces. However, it must be noted that the wanted status of Yasuke resets with every seasonal change. So, to gain the most from this amulet, a real science of timing and gameplay strategy is needed.

Conclusion

All this effort leads to unlocking AC Shadows’ Legendary Chest in Koromodako Cave as the adventure. The great part is, it’s all so much fun. Count all the adventures, the sense of finding one’s way, and the final triumph of winning a special reward. They speak of the depth and the interesting content that players can reach out for, should they decide to.
