The search can be done individually or by gathering several enemies for a direct confrontation. Below, we list where to find each target and how to progress in the mission.
Where to find the Kabukimono in Assassin's Creed Shadows
The journey to eliminate the Kabukimono takes you through various locations in feudal Japan. Each enemy is strategically positioned, requiring caution and planning for the approach. Check out the complete list of targets and their respective locations:
- Ghost General – Money Changer District, Sakai (Izumi Settsu Region)
- Ember – Burned buildings north of Sakai (Izumi Settsu Region)
- Chief Cuckoo – Katano Oil Trade, southwest of Katano Castle (Izumi Settsu Region)
- Grave Dancer – Sumiyoshi Shrine, Osaka (Izumi Settsu Region)
- Big Sueki – Muko Market City, Amagasaki (Izumi Settsu Region)
- Corrupt Blade – Habayama Camp, below the synchronization point of Mount Haba, Kanki Burned Fields (Harima Region)
- Laughing Man – Blackstone Falls, east of Mount Kasagata (Harima Region)
- Peacock – Path on the unnamed hill, north-northeast of Mount Kasagata, on the border of Harima and Tamba.
Throughout the mission, you will have the freedom to decide how to eliminate the Kabukimono. If you prefer, you can follow the clue provided by Shin'Nyo , your contact at the Nishinomiya Shrine. After defeating some targets, a card will appear, allowing you to summon three of them for a direct battle.
Facing multiple Kabukimono at the same time
If you choose direct confrontation, three of the Kabukimono — Ghost General, Peacock, and Laughing Man — will appear in the unnamed Lumberyard, south of Fort Takagi Otsuka, in the Kanki Burnt Fields .
This approach can be more challenging, as facing them simultaneously requires more strategy and skill. However, eliminating them separately before leaving the summoning card will reduce the number of enemies in the final fight.
Completing the mission and collecting rewards
After eliminating the Kabukimono, return to the Nishinomiya Shrine to report the mission's success to Shin'Nyo . As a reward, you will receive 5,000 XP , guaranteeing a significant boost in your game progress.
To further enhance your gameplay, it's worth exploring the best skills available in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Additionally, learning how to earn more Knowledge Points can be crucial for unlocking new techniques and advantages throughout the campaign.
