To begin the Tournament quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, head to the entrance of your Hideout in Izumi Settsu. Just before the entrance of the hideout, you will find Gyoji beside the road. Talk to him, and he will give you the Invitation to a tournament, triggering the quest.
After getting the quest, travel to the Ominesanji Temple in the Yamato province. The temple is located southeast of the Yoshino sub-region, and if you haven’t unlocked fast travel points, buckle up for a long journey.
Once you arrive at the location, switch to Yasuke and speak to Gyoji, who will be near a ruined temple building. Then the Tournament starts, which involves battling 5 different participants, each of whom will challenge you in the arena.
To start each battle, players need to ring the bell beside the arena. To get the full rewards and complete the quest, players need to defeat each one of them. Here are all the opponents and what rewards they provide:

After players defeat the fifth opponent, the battle ends, and you will need to talk to Gyoji again to receive their rewards: 5,000 XP and 2 new abilities:
-
Triple Threat: Throw 3 Shurikens at once
Constant Pressure: Now players can chain attacks as they move forward
Additionally, trophy collectors will also love this side quest, as once completed, it grants a ‘Test Your Might’ silver trophy (1 of 54 trophies that players can collect in the game).
In the end, the Tournament in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is more than just a simple side quest, it’s a chance to prove your might, earn epic loot, and unlock some seriously cool abilities.
