Clearing every castle and fort inAssassin’s Creed Shadowstakes patience, especially if you’re approaching each area with astealthy approach as Naoe.While Yasuke’s swords-out approach is fun and straightforward, it will be a long slog through several enemies and will end with Yasuke being made wanted, leading to more reinforcements in the area.
Instead ofspamming Yasuke’s best early skillsto slash your way through, we’ll show you how to silently assassinate each Samurai Daisho. Follow the way of the Shinobi as Naoe to silently make your way through Miyazu Castle without raising the alarm.
Where Is Miyazu Castle?
Miyazu Castleis in the northwestern section ofTamba, in Miyazu Bay.
The nearest fast travel point is theMiyazu Ship Mainmastin the northern section of the water, orMount Akaiwa,south of the castle.
How To Find & Assassinate The First Samurai Daisho
Approach Miyazu Castle from the southwestern cornerof the walls, near the bridge leading to the western shore.
Ignore the main entrance that’s guarded by a Samurai; instead, look toward the scaffolding that you can use toscale the wall slightly to the east.
Immediately, when you get to the top of the tower after scaling the scaffolding,look slightly east to spot the first Samurai Daishopatrolling a longsoutheastern corridoralong with a few other enemies.
Cross over toward the first Daisho using the perimeter walls, then take up a perch in the dark elevated corner.
Use Shinobi Bells to lure the Samurai Daisho into the corner,then, when they’re far enough from the practicing soldiers, take them out and disappear back into the darkness.
How To Find & Assassinate The Second Samurai Daisho
With the first Daisho disposed of,look northwest across the water into another long courtyardtoward the middle of the castle to spot thesecond Samurai Daisho.
Climb the scaffolding nearby and jump onto the perimeter wallwhere you’ll spot the Samurai Daisho and three other guards – two practicing and one patrolling.
The best way to handle the situation is to take the following steps:
you may save and reload after killing the first patrolling enemy to put the rightmost archer into patrol mode in his stead.
Kill the second guard the same way as the first,standing up, then crouching while still in the bushes to get his attention if needed.
Sneak over to the crateacross from the passage next to where the second Daisho and the final guard are practicing andlure the Daisho over with a Shinobi Bell,staying behind cover while you assassinate them to trigger the animation that pulls them back into cover with you.
Defeat the final guard who comes to investigate to clean up the area.
How To Find & Assassinate The Third Samurai Daisho
Next, scale the wall to the northwestand look into the verdant courtyard to thecentral-eastern sectionof the castle, where thethird Samurai Daishoawaits.
Use the roofs and make your way across the courtyard to the building adjacent to the third Daisho.
When you reach the Daisho’s house, jump higher onto the roofsabove the balcony next to you and eliminate the guard overlooking the courtyard. AKunaito the head should do the trick.
With the guard eliminated,you should jump down andassassinate the Daisho,who may need to be finished off with a few more swings.
How To Find & Assassinate The Fourth Samurai Daisho
From the northern central courtyard of Miyazu Castle, head to the long northern path where you’ll find thefourth and final Samurai Daisho patrollingthe area along with some other guards.
To kill the fourth Daisho silently, stalk his path until he makes his way to the western side of the courtyard, and as soon as he does, take the following steps:
This Daisho is very strong, so you may need to follow up with further hits to kill him, but keep the engagement in this section of the courtyard if needed, and no other guards will be alerted.
