Horse Archery

The Horse Archery challenge is east of the Koyana Ruins fast travel point, northwest of Katano. Even though you can finish this challenge with only 4 targets hit, I didn’t stop until I hit all six.

Jizo Statue

There are seven Jizo Statues in Izumi Settsu. Pay homage to these statues for spiritual – XP rewards. Locations include northwest of Amagasaki Castle, south of Yawata Plains near Lost Hills Summit, between Osaka Tenshu and Tennoji Pagoda, between Osaka and Sakai, northeast of Senri Hills near Takatsuki, south of Tomiko’s Homestead, and west of Tomiko’s Homestead.

They are always found near roads but are easy to miss and only show up on the map when fully zoomed in.

Kamon Crest

Kamon Crests are part of the side quest “A Collection of Crests.” To start the quest, talk to Ota Gyuichi, a former samurai and scribe to Oda Nobunaga, in Okinawa. He will only speak with Yasuke and will ask him to locate 9 Kamon Crests and return them.

To make sure that Yasuke, the Samurai, is picking up the Kamon Crests and not Naoe, the small chest with the crest is always tucked away and barricaded with a heavy obstacle.

The Kamon Crest in Isumi Settsu is at the Fukushima Ruins tower. Move the shelving unit at the entrance to access it. Kano Paintings can be found in Osaka Castle inside a southern house, and in Takatsuki Castle on the western side, also inside a house.

Kano Painting

A Kano Painting is a special decorative item for the Assassin’s Creed Shadows hideout. They are always wrapped in paper, as they are now, to protect the art.
2 Kano Paintings can be found in the Izumi Settsu Region.

Osaka Castle

One Kano Painting is hidden in the southern part of Osaka Castle. It’s inside a house. Just interact with it to pick it up.

Takatsuki Castle

The Kano Painting in Takatsuki Castle is on the western side, inside a house.

Kata

In the samurai context, a kata is a predefined sequence of combat movements used to practice and perfect swordsmanship, strategy, and discipline. It serves as a training method to internalize techniques, ensuring fluid execution and proper response in real combat situations.

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, only Yasuke learns a Kata through a minigame similar to the Kuji-kiri. Prompts will appear on the screen, and players must input them at the correct time. To succeed, you need to complete three sets of inputs accurately.

Osaka

The Osaka Kata is on the island west of the Fishermen’s District.

Yawata Plains

The Kata is northwest of the Bamboo Cutters Watchtower Fast Travel Point.

Keys

Keys is a currency for the Animus shop. A mysterious keys anomaly awaits players. It is situated east of Koriyama Camp and west of Takatsuki.

Kofun

Kofun tombs are ancient cave-like structures filled with treasures. To claim these treasures, solve puzzles and overcome challenges within the caves. There is always a Legendary Chest at the end of every Kofun.

Makino Kurumazuka Kofun

The Makino Kurumazuka Kofun is a hidden treasure cave located in the northern Yawata Plains of the Izumi Settsu Region in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, just north of the Bamboo Cutters Watchtower.

Kuji-kiri

Kuji-kiri is a traditional Japanese esoteric practice involving nine symbolic hand gestures (mudras) used in ninjutsu and Shugendō. It is believed to channel spiritual energy, enhance focus, and provide protection.

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, a Kuji-kiji is like a “Guitar Hero” minigame. Interact with the meditation spot to start. Then, rhythmically hit the indicated buttons. The prompts will disappear after a while, but keep pressing those buttons until you succeed and relive parts of Naoe’s past.

Amagasaki

Legendary Chests

Discover Legendary Chests containing rare loot across various locations within Izumi Settsu. There is one specialty when it comes to Legendary Chests in castles. You always have to find and kill the Samurai Daishos in the Castle first, before the chest is unlocked.

You can look up the Samurai Daisho number needed for the chest in the map menu when you point to the castle symbol. To find the Samurai Daisho, make sure you always scan the environment since the Samurai Daisho is highlighted with a white orb, like many collectibles are.

Additionally, every Kofun holds a Legendary Chest at the end of it. These are covered in the Kofun section of this guide.

Amagasaki Castle

Amagasaki Castle is in the northwest of the Izumi Settsu region. There is one special Loot Chest as part of the Amagasaki Castle objective.

The Legendary Chest is the reward for killing 5 Samurai Daisho. It is in the attic of Amagasaki Tenshu. You can use the trap door on the roof to get there.

Path of Valor

The Path of Valor starts at the Koyana Ruins fast-travel point in the north of the Izumi Settsu region. Follow the yellow marked parkour path to the chest. If you don’t know where to go, just follow the path of the yellow paint!

For the second location, head south and do the same at the smaller shrine.

The last location is in the southwest of the area.

Sumi-e

Sumi-e is a traditional Japanese ink painting style that uses expressive brushstrokes, minimal detail, and negative space to capture the essence of nature and subjects with simplicity and elegance.

In Assassin’s Creed, a Sumi-e is a collectible, where the player has to paint a certain object by reaching a certain point. Crouch slowly to approach the target and Observe to paint it.

Rewards are mostly decorative items for your hideout. In rare cases also a pet!

An Egg-Stealing Tanuki

The Egg-Stealing Tanunki is the first collectible the player collects, playing as Naoe. It is part of the main mission to follow Junriro, a boy at the Makinoodera Temple, and paint this Tanuki as part of the mission.
