Assassin's Creed Shadows - Akechi Mitshuhide And The Horseman Assassination Guide

Assassin's Creed Shadows: A Guide to Defeating the Shinbakfu

The final showdown with the Shinbakfu in Assassin's Creed Shadows is a multi-stage battle requiring cunning and skill. This guide details the steps to eliminate the remaining members and bring the conflict to a close.

Only two Shinbakfu members remain. Their defeat involves several quests, conveniently located near each other.

Wolves and Foxes: Completing Naoe's Personal Journey

Navigating Naoe's Past

After defeating The Fox, Akechi Mitsuhide's quest updates, requiring completion of Naoe's personal journey. This involves four straightforward Kuji-Kiri missions (Naoe's flashbacks). Completing these unlocks the "Wolves and Foxes" quest. You'll meet Tokugawa, under attack, and must assist before speaking with Hanzo to finish the mission and unlock "Secrets of the Blade."

While "Secrets of the Blade" (and the Apprentice Assassin outfit) is worthwhile, completing "Wolves and Foxes" technically fulfills the requirement for Naoe's journey, advancing Mitsuhide's quest. Further progression of Naoe's story can wait until after the main game's conclusion.

The Peasant Who Would Be King: Locating Lady Nene

A Crucial Conversation

Following Naoe's quest progress, find Lady Nene north of the Hills of Meeting (map location provided). This conversation provides mission details and sets the stage for confronting Mitsuhide. It's a short dialogue; afterward, prepare for the final confrontation. Consider completing more of Naoe and Yasuke's personal stories for increased levels.

Topple the Traitor: Confronting Hideyoshi

The Final Push

Locate Hideyoshi in Yamazaki to initiate the final mission. You choose to play as Naoe or Yasuke initially, securing a castle. Yasuke is recommended for faster progress. The mission involves eliminating enemies to reach Mitsuhide in the tower. Yasuke must sprint through a locked door; Naoe can climb over it.

A cutscene shows Mitsuhide's escape on horseback, shifting perspective to Naoe's chase. Maintain pursuit until Mitsuhide stops, initiating the final battle.

Assassinating Akechi Mitsuhide

A Challenging Duel

The battle begins with Yasuke, then switches to Naoe. Mitsuhide is a formidable Level 35 opponent, using diverse attacks (heavy strikes, quick slashes). His unpredictable moves, including a dirt-kicking distraction, require careful observation.

After depleting half his health, Naoe takes over. Mitsuhide's attacks become faster, including a new running strike. The kusarigama (Naoe) and naginata (Yasuke) are effective weapons.

Victory reveals the box's contents and its owner. You choose who delivers the final blow.

The Man Behind the Mask: Confronting Ashikaga Yoshiaki

The Game's Conclusion

Find Ashikaga Yoshiaki north of Genbu Highlands. Dialogue options have little impact on the outcome. A cutscene concludes the main storyline, sparing Yoshiaki regardless of choice. The epilogue follows (separate guide available).
