Assassin’s Creed Shadows offers a lot of opportunities for players to explore its massive open world in exchange for exciting and rare items that would otherwise go to waste.
The game does provide a pretty straightforward walking experience; however, having a mount as an aid always helps in covering longer distances, since they are relatively quicker.

There are a lot of mounts in the game, from basic to higher rarity to legendary. These mounts are always just a whistle away and always there by your side whenever you need them. Although the higher rarity mounts can be purchased from an ornament vendor, legendary ones are hidden across secret locations throughout the map. Here is all you need to know about acquiring the secret legendary Namazu mount.
Where to find the legendary secret Namazu mount in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
The location of Namazu Mount is pretty easy to spot once you get a basic idea of where to find it. To go near its location, you would first need to locate Okishima Island in the Omi Province which lies northwest of the city of Azuchi. This island is located at the center of Lake Biwa.

You have 2 options to reach the island. You can either swim, which will take a long time, or you can take a boat from the trade harbor point of interest in Aazuchi. You will almost always find a boat docked there.
Once you reach the island, head west until you reach the western end of the shore. Here, you will find a bonfire lit near the lake. Go near the bonfire and then jump right into the water since this legendary mount is hidden inside an underwater cave just underneath.

Once you are inside the water, take a U-turn towards the bonfire, and here you will find a way to the cave; the swim can take a while, so make sure to find the time to fill your lungs with oxygen once you are inside. Once inside the cave, you will not be able to miss the chest located in the center of the cave.
Approach the chest, and you will be the proud owner of a Namazu mount. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is filled with secret items such as this legendary mount.
This game rewards exploration by allowing players to get their hands on rare items that are exclusively available if they manage to find their secret locations. It is interesting to see how well Shadows is currently performing in the market. Ubisoft needed a win real bad and it could not afford things to go south with this game.
It seems that Ubisoft has finally managed to reignite the flame that was missing from some of the previous AC games. The game has only just been released, and there is time before it strengthens its stronghold in the market. Do you like exploring Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ map? Let us know in the comments below.
