In the tumultuous world of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, where chaos reigns and the innocent suffer, the Brotherhood stands as a beacon of justice. Naoe and Yasuke, the game's protagonists, are tasked with protecting the vulnerable and restoring order. One of their critical missions involves tracking down and eliminating the Kabukimono, a group of rogue ronin who exploit the disorder for their gain. If you're on a quest to find all Kabukimono members and bring them to justice, let us guide you through this challenging endeavor.
Your journey begins in the Settsu region, where you'll meet the compassionate priest, Shin’nyo. He will set you on the path to hunt down these lawless ronin and bring peace back to the region. The Kabukimono are notorious for their disregard for law and order, causing havoc and harm wherever they go. It's up to the assassins to put an end to their reign of terror.
There are eight distinct targets within the Kabukimono faction, each with their own gang and territory. Here's how and where you can find each of them:
Ghost General
The Ghost General leads the Hungry Ghosts, a gang known for their insatiable appetite for destruction. To find him, head to the city of Sakai in the southwestern part of the Izumi Settsu region. Navigate to the western part of the city, specifically the Money Changer District. Given the number of ronin in this area, it's wise to take them out one by one or use Yasuke's abilities to level the playing field before confronting the Ghost General.
Grave Dancer
The Grave Dancer heads the Defilers, a group that respects nothing, not even the sanctity of the dead. From Sakai, travel northeast along the main road until you reach the Sumiyoshi Shrine, south of Osaka. Here, amidst the graves, you'll find the Grave Dancer. Dispatch him to his final resting place using your preferred weapon, such as the Hidden Blade.
Ember
Ember leads the Firebrands, a gang intent on purifying the world through fire and destruction. Travel north from Sakai into Osaka, heading to the Fishermen’s District. North of this area, you'll find some burned-down buildings where Ember resides. Clear out any other combatants first to ensure a safer confrontation with this pyromaniac.
Big Sueki
Big Sueki and his gang are known for their love of sake and disregard for honor. To find him, go to Muko Post Town, just north of Amagasaki Castle in the western part of Izumi Settsu. Use the surrounding bamboo and thickets to approach stealthily and end their revelry.
Chief Cuckoo
Once honorable samurai, Chief Cuckoo and his gang now terrorize the peasants of Katano, located centrally in the Izumi Settsu region. Find him at the Katano Oil Trading location on the southern edge of town. Utilize the environment to your advantage and bring a dramatic end to his tyranny.
Corrupt Blade, Laughing Man, and Peacock
After dealing with the other members, you'll face the final three: Corrupt Blade, Laughing Man, and Peacock. Head to the Nishinomiya Shrine, west of Amagasaki Castle, where you'll have the option to confront them individually or together. Opting for the latter will lead you to the Harima region. From the shrine, travel west to Kakogawa Estuary, then northeast to Takagi Otsuka Fort. Continue east to find the trio in a courtyard next to a medium-sized hut. This battle will be challenging, but you can use the NPCs present to distract the enemies and strike when the opportunity arises.
By eliminating all Kabukimono members, you'll bring peace and justice to the region, fulfilling your role as a protector in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. For more tips and guides, be sure to explore The Escapist.
