Legendary Sumi-E in Assassin’s Creed Shadows are special paintings of animals that Naoe or Yasuke can create while exploring the wild. You'll spot a painting icon on your compass and map when you're close to one of these targets. To capture these moments, you need to approach stealthily, crouch down, and hold L2/LT until the painting is complete. Unlike regular Sumi-E, the legendary ones don't appear on the map, making them more challenging to find. There are five legendary Sumi-E in the game, and their availability depends on the season.
