Assassin’s Creed Shadowsis all about traveling around Japan and conquering any obstacles and challenges that cross your path, including forts and castles. These areas, like Mibuno Castle in Iga, offer opportunities to hunt down Samurai Daisho, find keys to guarded doors, and claim a myriad of rewards from various side chests.
You can approach these areas as either Yasuke or Noae and while Yasuke’s strength-first style makes it a matter of endurance and combat to finish these locations, we’ll be focusing on a stealth approach with Noae. Furthermore, we’ll also offer a method to stealth kill each Samurai Daisho in Mibuno Castle.
Where Is Mibuno Castle?
Mibuno Castleis located in the northwestern section ofMibuno Vale,tucked away inIga.Follow the path north from the Mibuno Kakurega fast travel point to get here quickly.
You’ll arrive at the castle by heading up a small hill leading up to the front gates. Approach the area head-on and make your way tothe large tower on the right-hand side of the entrance to get a better view of your prey.
How To Find & Assassinate The First Samurai Daisho
From the top of the guard tower,you’ll spot thefirst Samurai Daisho in the courtyardwith a guard kneeling. The best way to silently assassinate him is by jumping down from the building behind him while keeping a crouched posture.
Sneak up behind him and kill the first Daisho,immediately following up with another assassination on the guard who was reporting to him. However, it’s possible you will not be able to fully deplete the Daisho’s HP bar, soprepare for a fight.
Sabotage the alert bell to the left of the building behind the Daisho to avoid triggering a Wanted status.
How To Find & Assassinate The Second Samurai Daisho
Backtrack toward the front,and you’ll find thesecond Daishoin a lower courtyard in thesouthwesternmost corner of Mibuno Castle,standing in the watch tower to the left of the entrance you came in from.
Given that the Daisho is looking out at the distance, the best method for silently assassinating him is to get up the tower and finish the job before anyone notices you.
Approach from the lower area along the path without a spiked fence andtoss a Shinobi Bell to redirect two guardsto look the opposite way while youhead to the hay bale, then pick off the closest onewhile inside.
Use bells to attract one guard at a time until the courtyard is cleared out;the Samurai Daisho won’t noticeyou picking off each guard as long as you keep the kills silent.Next, head up the ladderand assassinate the second Daisho.
What Rewards Do You Get From Mibuno Castle?
With the two Samurai Daisho defeated, you can claim the rest of the excellent rewards in Mibuno Castle.
The rest of the area is still guarded by soldiers, so if you want to get through the area quickly to grab the loot and leave, you’re able to switch to Yasuke outside the walls, and then go back inside.
Side Loot
Here is where you can find the best side loot, including a key in Mibuno Castle.
