There are several missions in Assassin’s Creed Shadows that unlock after you progress through a certain part of the story.

The Tournament is one such quest that you get in the game, almost towards the end of the narrative.

In this guide, we’ll tell you how you can unlock the quest and how you can complete The Tournament mission in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

How To Unlock The Tournament Mission in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

The mission will unlock only when you’ve defeated nine out of the 12 Shinbakufu tied to the game’s main story. After you reach this point, speak with Gyoji in Yamato to start the mission. You can easily locate him, since he will be right outside your hideout waiting to speak to you about this particular quest. He will direct you to the fighting arena where you can take part in the Tournament. In the southeastern portion of Yamato is Ominesanji Temple, which is where you’ll need to go to advance the quest. The closest fast travel point to this location is the Ominesanji Overlook.

Once you reach the Ominesanji Temple, you’ll need to talk to Gyoji again. He’ll ask you to take on four one-on-one duels with warriors as part of the tournament. After defeating the first four warriors, you’ll then face off against the champion.

How To Complete The Tournament Mission in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

We suggest completing this mission as Yasuke and arming him with a long katana. You will face some challenging opponents as part of this quest, but after every round, you may take as long of a break as needed. So, we’d recommend taking a break and preparing for the fight ahead. Also, preparation for the coming battle can become much easier if you know what kind of weapon your next opponent wields.

Here’s a complete guide on your five opponents and their weapons.

After defeating all of these opponents, you’ll need to talk to Gyoji once more. He’ll promise to reach out to you in the future if other tournaments become available. This completes the quest and unlocks the Test Your Might trophy or achievement.

Best Gear for the Tournament Mission

We recommend a long katana for Yasuke. Make sure you’ve fully upgraded the katana you choose for the mission. Also, make sure that your katana has an armor-piercing engraving on it to quickly get through the armor protection of your opponents.

Besides that, armor is highly important. Our suggestion would be to unlock the following armor:

Yasuke with the Long Katana

You don’t actually have to equip these armor sets. Instead, use the unlocked engravings from this armor on your preferred set. This should make it easier for you to end fights with your opponents quickly.

Also, make sure that you invest a large deal of your skills in the Samurai and Long Katana trees for Yasuke before taking on the Tournament mission.
