Assassin’s Creed Shadows invites players into a vast and immersive open world filled with exploration, challenges, and hidden rewards. Among these challenges is the Path of Valor—a rewarding side activity that tests your traversal skills and offers valuable loot. Here’s everything you need to know about locating and completing the Path of Valor challenge, including how to reach the chest and what rewards await you.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Path of Valor Location
The Path of Valor challenge is located just beside the Koyana Ruins viewpoint in the Senri Hills region. This area is easily accessible early in the game, making it a great stop for players looking to boost their gear and earn extra rewards. Once you’ve unlocked the nearby viewpoint, use the panoramic view to orient yourself—the Path of Valor objective marker will be clearly visible nearby.
How to Get the Path of Valor Chest
Begin at the cliff edge marked by two poles adorned with yellow cloth. From here, head straight ahead and use your grappling hook to leap across to the opposite cliff. Once across, locate the wall with yellow paint markings, climb it, and continue forward. Turn left at the top to proceed.
Ahead, make a small jump to scale another yellow-marked wall. Move straight, then use your grappling hook to swing across a gap to the next cliffside. Climb the subsequent wall to progress further along the path.
You’ll encounter a tree tied with yellow cloth—just beyond it lies a narrow bamboo pole. Carefully cross it, then continue straight before descending a sloped path. After the slope, jump across another bamboo pole and scale the wall, but this time, head left.
As you drop down onto another sloped surface, prepare to jump onto a tree branch. This allows you to leap forward onto the wall directly in front of you.
Once on top of the wall, walk across a fallen tree trunk to reach a sturdy branch. Use your grappling hook to swing forward, then carefully cross a tightrope. Follow the short path that leads directly to the Path of Valor chest.
Path of Valor Rewards
Successfully completing the Path of Valor grants you:
- 1 Knowledge Point
- Tamakichi’s Hood – An Epic-tier headgear with the following stats:
- +92 Health
- +2% Critical Chance
- +10.7% Adrenaline Gain
- -1 Health Segment removed on Running Assassinate
This helmet is a strong early-game upgrade, offering meaningful stat boosts with minimal effort required to obtain it. The slight drawback on Running Assassinate is a minor trade-off for its overall utility.
Whether you're chasing completion, upgrading your gear, or simply enjoying the thrill of traversal, the Path of Valor is a rewarding detour in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Be sure to explore more guides on [ttpp] for additional tips, secrets, and walkthroughs to enhance your journey.
