Feudal Japan in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a huge, detailed world full of secrets, quests, and unique locations. Our interactive map will be your reliable guide in this exciting adventure . In this guide, we will tell you in detail how to use the map, where to look for key objects, and how to explore every corner of the game as efficiently as possible to achieve 100% completion.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Interactive Map

The world map in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is not available from the start of the game . You will first have to play through the prologue as Yasuke and then as Naoe.

Key locations

Viewpoints

Vantage points are tall structures such as building rooftops, giant trees, and other prominent objects that can be activated to open up a quick path to travel. They are marked on the map with an eagle icon. By activating a vantage point, you will not only reveal new areas of the map, but also be able to quickly travel between them.

Kakuruga

Kakaruga are small hideouts that can be purchased for 800 coins. They serve not only as a fast travel point, but also as a place to restock supplies, use storage, and view contracts. Each Kakaruga hideout is a mini-base where you can recharge your batteries and prepare for your next mission.

Shelter

The Vault is the main base of the game , where you can construct buildings (such as a forge), collect resources, use various services and meet friendly characters. This place will become your home in the world of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, where you can plan your next steps and improve your equipment.

Quests, Goals and Items

Our interactive map contains markers related to main and side quests . The interactive map shows the location of quest givers and areas where quests can start automatically . The map also marks key areas and characters that may be important for completing quests. If you need to find specific items (like butterflies or unique cargo), our markers will help you save time and complete quests quickly.

Activities for Naoe and Yasuke

Some activities are only available for a specific character:

1. Naoe can explore hidden paths and solve puzzles in the Kofun Tombs .
2. Yasuke can participate in horseback archery and complete unique quests.

These activities not only add variety to the gameplay, but also help you better understand the characters and their unique abilities.

Kofun Tombs

Kofun Tombs are a series of puzzles that you need to solve to reach a chest with legendary equipment and other valuable rewards. Each tomb is unique and offers its own challenges that will require logical thinking and exploration skills from you. At the end of each tomb, you will find a valuable trophy that will help you in further progression.

Kuji-kiri and Kata

Kuji-kiri and Kata are unique activities available only to certain characters. Not only do they add depth to the gameplay, but they also help you better understand Naoe and Yasuke’s stories and provide valuable rewards. Let’s take a look at what these activities are and how to use them to their fullest advantage.

1. Kuji-kiri is a unique activity for Naoe that can unlock flashback missions. These missions will help you gain insight into the character’s past and earn additional rewards.
2. Kata is an activity for Yasuke that also gives experience and knowledge points. These points can be used to improve the character’s skills and abilities.

Goals and Enemies

The map contains targets to eliminate, both key enemies from the main story and additional characters such as yokai or ronin. These targets can be part of quests or simply additional challenges that add complexity and variety to your gameplay.

Hidden Trails and Horseback Archery

Hidden Paths and Mounted Archery are unique challenges available only to certain characters. These activities will not only test your skills, but also bring valuable rewards. Let’s find out how they work and how to get the most out of them.

1. Hidden Paths are obstacle courses that are only accessible to Naoe . At the end of each path, a reward chest awaits you, a worthy reward for your efforts.
2. Mounted Archery is a challenge for Yasuke where you have to hit targets while on horseback. It’s a great way to test your archery skills and earn extra rewards.

Traders

Throughout the game world, you will encounter many merchants who sell food, equipment, decorations, and other useful items. Food merchants can increase your ration supply, and equipment merchants will offer upgrades for your equipment. Be sure to visit merchants to replenish your supplies and improve your chances of success in battle.

Codices and statues of Jizo

Codexes and Jizo statues are small but important elements of the world of Assassin’s Creed Shadows that will help you learn more about the game’s universe and get additional rewards . Let’s figure out where to look for them and what benefits they will bring to your character.

1. Codices are floating fragments of the Animus that unlock new entries in the game’s encyclopedia. Collecting them will help you learn more about the world of Assassin’s Creed Shadows and its history.
2. Jizo Statues are places where you can make offerings and receive experience as a reward. These statues are scattered throughout the world, and finding them will be a fun addition to your adventure.

Castles, temples and sanctuaries

The map also marks large unique locations such as castles, temples, and shrines. These may have their own rewards and objectives, such as killing all the daisho samurai or finding scrolls. Exploring these locations will add depth to your gameplay experience and help you better understand the game world.
