You must find all four Samurai Daisho in Miki Castle to earn the legendary loot inside the red chest.

This area hasfour Samurai Daisho,so prepare for some careful, extensive maneuvering.
How To Find & Assassinate The First Samurai Daisho
Approach Miki Castle from the southwestern cornerof the castle and enter by scaling the wall to the left. This puts you in a higher vantage point with a great view of a large section of the castle.
Head to the northwestern courtyard in Miki Castlewhere there’s a large partially built structure – this is where you’llfind the first Samurai Daisho.
Unfortunately,this first Daisho is well-accompanied,so you’ll be best served to circleto your right along the wallon the outskirts of the castle until you’re over on the same side as the first Samurai Daisho.
Clear out the two guardsnear the unfinished house,climb across the wire onto the roofabove where the Samurai Daisho is standing, and air assassinate him.
How To Find & Assassinate The Second Samurai Daisho
Cross over into thecentral portion of Miki Castleby climbing on top of the barred door, then look across to the central area.
You’ll see thesecond Samurai Daisho in this second courtyard in the center,with guards mainly positioned along the left side.
Much like the first area’s Samurai Daisho, this one is easiest to isolate by circling along the perimeter to get within reach.
Here’s how to pull off a silent assassination:
Alternatively,you canlure the Samurai Daisho to the quiet, secluded sideof the house with aShinobi Belland finish him off there. This is much less risky.
How To Find & Assassinate The Third Samurai Daisho
The third Samurai Daishois in thecourtyard directly to the south of the central courtyardwhere you encounter the second Daisho.

If you don’t want to take down this Daisho silently, then you can fight the guards and Daisho without alerting the rest of the castle if you sabotage the bell adjacent to the small staging area.
