As an honorable samurai and respected ninja, it's advisable to sheathe your weapon near peaceful civilians after a successful battle, adhering to the code of honor. This will also allow you to unlock one of the achievements in Assassin's Creed Shadows, bringing you closer to platinum.

Doing this is quite simple, yet not obvious, as the game doesn't directly tell you how to use this feature. To earn the trophy, you'll need to follow a few more steps.

How to Sheathe Weapons in Assassin's Creed: Shadows

For various reasons, the ability to sheathe your weapon in Assassin's Creed Shadows might be useful to you. You can do this while playing as Yasuke or Naoye, regardless of the weapon type.

After you've finished a battle or accidentally drawn your weapon, you can put it away. To do this:

• Press and hold the right D-Pad button on the controller for PlayStation, Xbox, or any other gamepad.
  
  
• Press and hold the R key on the keyboard.

If you don't hold these buttons but just press them, it will result in changing the character's weapon.

How to Unlock the Final Hearing Achievement/Trophy in Assassin's Creed: Shadows

Knowing how to sheathe weapons in AC: Shadows brings you one step closer to unlocking another achievement in the game called Final Hearing. However, this is just the final step, as there are a few more conditions to fulfill beforehand.

First, you'll need a weapon that causes a bleeding effect. You can purchase such a weapon from merchants, obtain it by completing certain quests, or find it in item chests. A weapon with a bleeding effect will have "Bleed Buildup" in its description.

Next, you need to find a victim and kill them under certain conditions. You should attack the enemy until their bleed meter fills up and triggers this effect.

It's important to note that the enemy must die from the bleeding! Otherwise, the achievement won't work.

Since enemies die very easily on lower difficulty levels, especially due to quick kills like beheading, it's advisable to either look for higher-level enemies or manually increase the difficulty level in the settings menu.

As soon as the enemy dies from bleeding, immediately press the R key or the right part of the D-Pad on the gamepad to instantly sheathe your weapon in Assassin's Creed Shadows.

If you did everything correctly and on time, you will see a notification on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, or Ubisoft Connect about receiving the Final Hearing achievement.
