In the tumultuous world of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, chaos reigns, and those eager to exploit the turmoil and profit from others' downfall are ever-present. It's here that the Brotherhood, with Naoe and Yasuke at the helm, stands as guardians of the innocent. If you're driven by a quest for justice and determined to track down all Kabukimono members within the game to deliver retribution, we're here to guide you on this mission.
The Kabukimono
Your journey to dismantle the Kabukimono begins in the Settsu region. Here, after meeting the compassionate priest, Shin’nyo, you'll be tasked with rooting out these lawless ronin and restoring peace to the land. The Kabukimono are a band of flamboyant ronin who operate without regard for law or morality, wreaking havoc and causing distress. It falls to the assassins to deliver justice and bring tranquility back to the people. In total, there are eight distinct targets within the Kabukimono faction that you must confront.
How and Where to Find All Kabukimono Members in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, pinpointing your targets isn't straightforward—the game encourages exploration and deduction through clues to narrow down their locations. However, if you're looking to expedite your hunt and directly locate these ronin, here’s where you can find each Kabukimono member:
Ghost General
Leading the ravenous Hungry Ghosts, the Ghost General is known for his voracious appetite. Follow the clues to Sakai city in the southwestern part of the Izumi Settsu region. Head to the western part of the city, where the Money Changer District awaits. Here, you'll find the Ghost General. Given the odds, it’s advisable to eliminate his underlings one by one or utilize Yasuke’s strength to level the playing field.
Grave Dancer
The Grave Dancer heads the Defilers, a group that respects nothing, not even the sanctity of the dead. From Sakai, travel northeast along the main road to the Sumiyoshi Shrine, just south of Osaka. It's here among the buried that you'll encounter the Grave Dancer. Dispatch him to his final rest using the Hidden Blade or any weapon of your choice.
Ember
Leading the Firebrands, the Ember seeks to cleanse the world through destruction and fire. Journey north from Sakai into Osaka, heading towards the Fishermen’s District. Further north, you'll find burned-down buildings where the Ember resides. Be wary of your surroundings and clear out any additional foes before confronting this pyromaniac. Extinguish his flame and save countless lives from a fiery fate.
Big Sueki
Big Sueki, a lover of sake, leads a gang similarly inclined, trading honor for indulgence. Their disregard for others spells trouble for anyone in their path. To end their revelry, travel to Muko Post Town just north of Amagasaki Castle in the western part of Izumi Settsu. Near the moat, you'll find your target. Use the surrounding bamboo and thickets for cover, and deliver your own brand of justice.
Chief Cuckoo
Once honorable, the Chief Cuckoo and his followers have fallen into disrepute, now harassing peasants and driving them from their homes. Head to Katano in the central part of Izumi Settsu. At the town's southern edge lies the Katano Oil Trading location, where the Chief Cuckoo awaits. Utilize the environment to your advantage and bring this tyrant to a dramatic end.
Corrupt Blade, Laughing Man, and Peacock
After eliminating the other Kabukimono members, you'll face the final three: Corrupt Blade, Laughing Man, and Peacock. Travel to the Nishinomiya Shrine west of Amagasaki Castle. At the shrine's entrance, you can choose to confront each member individually or challenge them all at once. Opting for the latter saves time and leads you to the Harima region.
From the shrine, head west to the Kakogawa Estuary, then ride northeast along the roads to Takagi Otsuka Fort. East of the fort, you'll discover a courtyard next to a medium-sized hut where the trio awaits. This battle won't be easy, but you won't be alone. Use the NPCs to distract your enemies and strike when the opportunity arises. Eliminate them all to permanently clear the Kabukimono from the map.
That's everything you need to know about finding and confronting all Kabukimono members in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For further assistance with the game, be sure to explore resources at The Escapist.
