In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players encounter a vivid and chaotic faction known as the Kabukimono—these flamboyant rogue ronin are wreaking havoc across Settsu, particularly around the urban centers of Sakai and Osaka. Their activities include raiding villages, demolishing homes, and disrupting trade routes, all in a bid to amplify their own power and influence.
The protagonist, Naoe, is committed to eradicating the injustices propagated by this notorious group. She embarks on a quest to track down and eliminate each Kabukimono member throughout Settsu and its adjacent areas. While players may easily confront and defeat the initial Kabukimono, the challenge ramps up significantly with the need to reach level 23 to take down the last three.
Initiating the Kabukimono Hunt
To kick off the sidequest focused on the Kabukimono, journey to Nakayama Peak, situated west of Amagasaki in the Izumi Settsu region. There, players should converse with Shin’nyo at the entrance of the shrine. He will inform you about the rogue ronin causing distress among the local populace.
Engaging in this quest opens up a series of exciting challenges, with Kabukimono ranging from levels 9 to 23. Each victory yields unique weapons and items, making the endeavor worthwhile.
Locations of the Kabukimono Targets
Chief Cuckoo
Chief Cuckoo can be tracked down using the following clues:
- His whereabouts are in Izumi Settsu.
- Last seen in Katano.
- Has ties to oil trading.
Katano is located just northeast of Osaka, and the hostile area “Katano Oil Trading”is found southwest of the castle. Chief Cuckoo is positioned near a well, flanked by allies, providing an opportunity for an aerial assassination from a nearby rooftop. Taking him down nets players money, XP, two mastery points, the Prancing Naginata, and the Damage after Dodge engraving.
Big Sueki
For Big Sueki, you’ll receive these clues:
- He’s also in Izumi Settsu.
- Located north of Amagasaki Castle.
- Known for his fondness for drinking in an inn.
Amagasaki Castle lies northwest of Osaka, and Muko Post Town can be found just north. Sueki is in the garden of an inn situated centrally in town, where players can choose to either draw him out with noise or engage him directly for a fight. Victory earns you two mastery points, money, XP, the Tactless Parley katana, and the Damage with Afflictions engraving.
Human
Ember provides the following clues to his location:
- He can be found in Izumi Settsu.
- He’s situated southwest of Osaka Castle.
- Look for him near burnt structures.
The charred buildings are located west of the Temple of Osaka. Players can utilize a kunai to explode a pot nearby Ember, bringing the fight to a fiery conclusion. Rewards include the Spark of Ember rifle and the armor-piercing engraving for consecutive hits.
Grave Dancer
Grave Dancer’s location can be found using these simple clues:
- Situated in Izumi Settsu.
- Resides in southern Osaka.
- Can be located at Sumiyoshi Shrine.
At Sumiyoshi Shrine, which is southeast of the Temple of Osaka, Grave Dancer engages in conversation with another Ronin. Players can sneak up from an adjacent rooftop or approach stealthily for a surprise attack, gaining the Widower’s Solace katana, engraving bonuses for consecutive kills, and mastery points as rewards.
Ghost General
Lastly, Ghost General can be tracked down with the following clues:
- He lurks along the western shores of Settsu.
- Involvement in disrupting shipments of goods.
Ghost General can be found at the open-air market by the port at Sakai’s western edge. Accompanied by a solitary guard, he is also an easy target for assassination. Players earn the Kabukimono’s Greed katana, an engraving on adrenaline against multiple enemies, alongside monetary rewards and XP.
Locating the Haima View
Upon the defeat of the first five Kabukimono, players will receive a tantalizing note indicating that the group has been utilizing the Nishinomiya shrine board for undercover communications.
Traveling to the shrine allows players to draw out the remaining three rogue ronin from their hiding places. You can choose to confront them individually—an approach that may be less challenging yet more tedious—or face them in a collective showdown. Note that this encounter occurs in Haima, a level 23 zone that may pose difficulties in the early stages of your adventure.
