Assassin's Creed Shadows throws you into feudal Japan with a flurry of new mechanics, from dual protagonists to revamped stealth. Whether you're a seasoned assassin or a newcomer to the Creed, these 10 crucial tips will help you navigate the shadows and conquer the Sengoku period like a true master.
Unlock Naoe's Smoke Bombs in the Mastery Skill Tree ASAP. They're not just for dramatic entrances; they're your get-out-of-jail-free card. Blind enemies, vanish in a puff of smoke, or execute devastating stealth kills within the cloud. Combine this with the Quick Throw skill, and Naoe becomes a true ghost in the night.
Don't ignore those seemingly insignificant random encounters. Rescuing villagers or solving riddles can yield valuable rewards, from revealing hidden quests to providing free area scouting. Every little bit helps in feudal Japan.
Ammo conservation is key, especially in the early game. Naoe's Kunai and Shinobi bells can be retrieved from fallen enemies (or even stuck-but-still-living ones). Yasuke's ammo, however, is one-and-done. Plan accordingly.
Shadows features a level-based enemy system. Before you leap from the rooftops, check the assassination prompt:
White: One-hit kill. Go for it!
Yellow: You'll wound them, but not fatally. Prepare for a fight.
Red: Abort! Abort! Your attack will fail, and you'll be exposed.
Don't underestimate Naoe's Tanto. This unassuming knife is arguably the most powerful weapon in the game. Its auto-dodge combined with Shadow Barrage, double posture attacks, and the devastating Shadow Piercer ability make Naoe a whirlwind of death. Prioritize getting the Tanto from Wakasa – you won't regret it.
Raiding forts and castles isn't just about liberating the oppressed; it's about the sweet, sweet loot. Eliminating Samurai Daisho within these strongholds unlocks access to treasure chests, often hiding legendary weapons and valuable XP boosts. Focus on the main tenshu tower for the best rewards.
Prioritize the "Out to Pasture" quest early on. Clearing the bandits unlocks Blacksmith Heiji and the Forge at your hideout. Upgrading your gear is crucial for survival, so get that forge fired up!
Canon Mode locks your dialogue choices, but don't worry about missing out on major story beats. Most decisions affect how you approach objectives, not the overall narrative. It's a great option for those who want a more streamlined experience.
Lost and looking for a specific target or location? Hold LT/L2 (or the equivalent on your platform) in the objective area. A Blue Dot will appear, marking the exact spot you need to investigate. No Blue Dot? You're in the wrong area.
Scouts are versatile, but their best use is smuggling resources back to your hideout. This accelerates your upgrade progression significantly. Don't hesitate to buy more scouts at any Kakurega hideout for 200 Mon each. Time is money, and money buys upgrades.
Now go forth, assassin, and paint feudal Japan red… with the blood of your enemies, of course. These tips will ensure your journey through Assassin's Creed Shadows is one of silent victory.
