In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, 'The Tournament' quest is a challenging side quest that offers valuable rewards like new weapons, XP, Anomaly completions, achievements, and mastery unlocks.
The trigger for starting 'The Tournament' quest is not clearly defined, but it usually begins with encountering Gyoji just outside of the Hideout.
To make the quest appear, players should progress through The Shinbakufu main quest, reach a certain level (e.g., level 35), and interact with specific in-game elements.
The tournament itself takes place in the Yamato province, in southeastern Yoshino, where players will face various combatants matching their level.
Players must defeat a series of champions in the tournament to earn rewards such as unique weapons like the Exotic Naginata of Wonders and Vengeful Foe.
Completing the quest rewards players with 5,000 XP in addition to other winnings, and they can continue fighting more combatants with the 'Arena Oscillation' Anomaly quest.
It is recommended to upgrade gear and skills before entering the tournament and to speak to Gyoji to initiate battles.
Choosing to play as Yasuke, a character specialized in combat, is advantageous in 'The Tournament' quest because of the intense focus on fighting.
By following specific steps and preparing adequately, players can successfully navigate 'The Tournament' quest and emerge victorious against skilled opponents.
