What Makes the Blade of Yumminess Special?
This legendary long katana offers a unique perk that provides 250% damage boost, though you cannot use abilities while wielding it. It’s perfect for players who prefer raw damage over flashy special moves, making it ideal for challenging boss fights.
Four Missing Parts You Need to Collect
| Part Name | Location | Region |
|---|---|---|
| Scabbard | Kassandra’s Vault (Glyph Cave) | Mount Hiei |
| Guard | Myoken Shrine (behind shrine) | Sazae Oni Shores, Kii |
| Blade | Mount Akaiwa (broken bridge cliff) | Tamba |
| Handle | Onyu Pass Overlook (underwater pool) | Wakasa |
Step-by-Step Collection Guide
Part 1: Scabbard (Already Yours!)
After unlocking the Glyph Door by collecting all 13 glyphs, you’ll automatically receive the scabbard inside Kassandra’s vault along with the first clue. The vault itself contains incredible loot including legendary weapons and engravings from Odyssey.
Part 2: The Guard
Travel to Sazae Oni Shores in southern Kii near the Myoken Shrine waypoint, head to the shrine’s back area, and carefully descend to find a chest at the platform’s edge containing the guard and your next clue.
Part 3: The Blade
Journey to Mount Akaiwa in Tamba, near the Onitake Shrine. Descend the mountain stairs until you reach a broken wooden bridge, then jump down the adjacent cliff to discover a chest with the blade inside.
Part 4: The Handle
For the final piece, visit the Onyu Pass Overlook in Wakasa. Simply dive into the pool beneath the viewpoint and swim downward to find the treasure chest with the handle at the bottom.
Reforging the Legendary Weapon
Once you’ve collected all four parts, return to the Isu Door cave entrance as Yasuke (equip the Riddle Scroll Beacon if playing as Naoe). You’ll spot a workbench immediately to your right upon entering. Interact with it to reforge the Blade of Yumminess!
According to the official Ubisoft Assassin’s Creed website, this update connects multiple games in the franchise through clever storytelling and hidden treasures.
The Story Behind This Easter Egg
Fun fact: The weapon’s name originated from YouTube’s auto-generated captions during AC Odyssey’s E3 2018 presentation, which mistranscribed a line as “blade of yumminess” instead of the intended phrase. Ubisoft embraced this hilarious mishap and turned it into gaming legend!

FAQs
Q: Do I need to complete all 13 Glyph puzzles before collecting the blade parts?
Yes, you must first complete “A Puzzlement” quest and collect all 13 glyphs to unlock Kassandra’s vault. The scabbard and first clue are only available inside the vault, which serves as your starting point for this legendary weapon quest.
Q: Can Naoe use the Blade of Yumminess or is it Yasuke-exclusive?
The Blade of Yumminess is a long katana designed exclusively for Yasuke. Only he can reforge and wield this legendary weapon, as Naoe uses different weapon types suited to her stealth-focused playstyle.
