In the tumultuous world of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, chaos often breeds opportunity for those who wish to exploit it. The Brotherhood, led by Naoe and Yasuke, stands as a beacon of hope and justice, tirelessly working to protect the innocent. If you're on a quest to bring justice and locate all Kabukimono members in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, we're here to guide you through the process.
The Kabukimono
Your journey begins in the region of Settsu, where you'll encounter the kindly priest, Shin’nyo. He will task you with hunting down the Kabukimono, a group of colorful ronin who operate without regard for the law, causing havoc and pain wherever they go. It’s up to you, the assassin, to restore peace and bring justice to the region by eliminating these eight notorious targets.
How and Where to Find All Kabukimono Members in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* encourages exploration and the use of clues to pinpoint your targets, rather than providing exact locations. However, if you're looking to expedite your mission, here's where you can find each of the Kabukimono members:
Ghost General
The Ghost General, leader of the Hungry Ghosts, is known for his insatiable appetite and destructive tendencies. 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, to the Money Changer District. Here, you'll encounter the Ghost General and his gang. It's wise to thin their numbers before engaging the leader directly, or leverage Yasuke's abilities to even the odds.
Grave Dancer
The Grave Dancer leads the Defilers, a gang that respects no sanctity. From Sakai, travel northeast along the main road to the Sumiyoshi Shrine, south of Osaka. Here, amidst the graves, you'll find the Grave Dancer. Dispatch him with your weapon of choice and lay him to rest permanently.
Ember
The Ember heads the Firebrands, a group intent on purifying the world through fire. To confront him, travel north from Sakai into Osaka, heading to the Fishermen’s District. Further north, you'll find burned-down buildings where Ember resides. Clear out any other threats before engaging him to ensure a safer environment for your battle.
Big Sueki
Big Sueki, a lover of sake, leads a gang that trades honor for indulgence. To end their revelry, go to Muko Post Town, just north of Amagasaki Castle in the western part of Izumi Settsu. Near the moat, you'll find Big Sueki. Use the surrounding bamboo and thickets for cover and strike decisively.
Chief Cuckoo
Once honorable, the Chief Cuckoo and his gang have turned to terrorizing peasants. Head to the city of Katano in the central part of Izumi Settsu. At the southern edge, you'll find the Katano Oil Trading location where Chief Cuckoo is stationed. Use the environment to your advantage and bring his reign of terror to an explosive end.
Corrupt Blade/Laughing Man/Peacock
After dealing with the other members, you'll face the final three Kabukimono: Corrupt Blade, Laughing Man, and Peacock. Travel to the Nishinomiya Shrine west of Amagasaki Castle. At the entrance, you can choose to confront them individually or gather them in one place for a decisive battle. Opting for the latter will lead you to Harima. From the shrine, head west to Kakogawa Estuary, then northeast along the roads to Takagi Otsuka Fort. East of the fort, in a courtyard near a medium-sized hut, you'll find the trio. Utilize the NPCs to distract them and strike strategically to eliminate these final threats.
With these detailed instructions, you're well-equipped to find and eliminate all Kabukimono members in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more guidance on your journey, be sure to explore resources available on The Escapist.
