In the tumultuous world of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, where chaos reigns and opportunists thrive, the Brotherhood stands as a beacon of justice. With Naoe and Yasuke at the helm, they vigilantly protect the innocent from those who seek to exploit the unrest. For those determined to bring justice and dismantle the Kabukimono faction, we're here to guide you through the process of locating all its members.
The Kabukimono
Your journey to hunt down the Kabukimono begins in the Settsu region. Upon meeting the compassionate priest, Shin’nyo, you'll be tasked with eliminating these rogue ronin to restore peace to the area. The Kabukimono are a notorious group of colorful ronin who disregard the law and harm others without hesitation. It's up to the assassins to turn the tables and offer solace to the populace. There are eight key targets within this faction that you must eliminate.
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 clue-following to narrow down their locations. However, if you're looking to expedite your mission and directly locate the ronin, here are the details on where to find each Kabukimono member:
Ghost General
The Ghost General, leader of the ravenous Hungry Ghosts gang, can be found in the city of Sakai, located in the southwestern part of the Izumi Settsu region. Head to the western part of the city to the Money Changer District. Given the numbers against you, it's wise to take out the ronin one by one or leverage Yasuke's abilities to level the playing field.
Grave Dancer
Leading the Defilers, the Grave Dancer has embraced the land's corruption. From Sakai, travel northeast along the main road to reach the Sumiyoshi Shrine, south of Osaka. Here, among the buried, you'll find the Grave Dancer. Dispatch him to his own grave using the Hidden Blade or any weapon of your choice.
Ember
The Ember leads the Firebrands, intent on purifying the world through destruction. Travel north from Sakai into Osaka to the Fishermen’s District. Further north, you'll find burned buildings where the Ember resides. Clear the area of combatants before engaging this pyromaniac to save many from a fiery fate.
Big Sueki
Big Sueki, leader of a gang with a taste for sake, can be found in Muko Post Town just north of Amagasaki Castle in the western part of Izumi Settsu. Near the moat, utilize the surrounding bamboo and thickets for a stealthy approach and end their revelry.
Chief Cuckoo
Once honorable samurai, the Chief Cuckoo and his followers now torment peasants in Katano, centrally located in Izumi Settsu. At the southern edge of town, the Katano Oil Trading location is where you'll find the Chief Cuckoo. Use your surroundings strategically to bring a dramatic end to his tyranny.
Corrupt Blade, Laughing Man, Peacock
After dealing with the other Kabukimono members, you'll face the final three: Corrupt Blade, Laughing Man, and Peacock. Head to the Nishinomiya Shrine west of Amagasaki Castle. At the entrance, you can choose to confront them individually or together. Opting to face them as a group leads you to the Harima region.
From the shrine, travel west to Kakogawa Estuary, then northeast to reach Takagi Otsuka Fort. Continue east to find the trio in a courtyard next to a medium-sized hut. This battle will be challenging, but with the help of nearby NPCs to distract them, you can strike effectively. Eliminate all three to eradicate the Kabukimono threat once and for all.
