In the tumultuous world of *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, where chaos reigns and the vulnerable are often exploited, the Brotherhood, led by Naoe and Yasuke, emerges as a beacon of hope and justice. For those committed to restoring peace and seeking retribution, the hunt for the Kabukimono members is a crucial step. Let us guide you on how to locate and confront these notorious figures.
The Kabukimono
Your quest to eliminate the Kabukimono begins in the Settsu region, where you'll meet the compassionate priest Shin'nyo. He will task you with hunting down these unruly ronin to safeguard the region from further turmoil. The Kabukimono are a gang of flamboyant, lawless ronin who revel in causing harm and chaos. It falls to the assassins to bring them to justice and offer solace to the afflicted.
There are eight distinct targets within the Kabukimono faction, each requiring your attention and skill.
How and Where to Find All Kabukimono Members in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
*Assassin's Creed Shadows* challenges players to uncover their targets through exploration and clue-following, rather than providing explicit locations. However, for those eager to streamline their mission, here's where you can find each Kabukimono member:
Ghost General
The Ghost General, leader of the Hungry Ghosts, is known for his voracious appetite. To find him, head to the city of Sakai in the southwestern part of the Izumi Settsu region. In the western part of the city, locate the Money Changer District. Given the number of ronin present, it's wise to thin their ranks one by one or use Yasuke's abilities to level the playing field before engaging the Ghost General.
Grave Dancer
The Grave Dancer leads the Defilers, a gang that respects nothing, not even the sanctity of the dead. From Sakai, travel northeast along the main road to reach the Sumiyoshi Shrine, south of Osaka. Here, amidst the graves, you'll find the Grave Dancer. Dispatch him to his final resting place using your preferred weapon, such as the Hidden Blade.
Ember
Ember, the leader of the Firebrands, seeks to cleanse the world with fire. Travel north from Sakai into Osaka, heading to the Fishermen’s District. Further north, you'll find burned-down buildings where Ember resides. Clear the area of other combatants before confronting him to ensure a safer battle. Extinguish his flame to save countless lives from his destructive path.
Big Sueki
Big Sueki, a lover of sake, leads a gang that has traded honor for indulgence. To end their revelry, head to Muko Post Town, just north of Amagasaki Castle in the western part of Izumi Settsu. Near the moat, use the surrounding bamboo and thickets for cover as you approach and deliver your own brand of justice.
Chief Cuckoo
Once honorable samurai, Chief Cuckoo and his followers have turned to tormenting peasants. To stop them, go to the city of Katano in the central part of Izumi Settsu. At the southern edge, find the Katano Oil Trading location where Chief Cuckoo is stationed. Utilize the environment to your advantage and bring this villain to a fiery end.
Corrupt Blade, Laughing Man, and Peacock
After dealing with the other Kabukimono members, you'll face the final trio: 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 gather them in one location for a decisive battle. Opting for the latter, travel west to the Kakogawa Estuary, then northeast to Takagi Otsuka Fort. East of the fort, you'll find the trio in a courtyard next to a medium-sized hut. This battle will be challenging, but use the NPCs to distract them and strike when the opportunity arises. Eliminate all three to eradicate the Kabukimono threat once and for all.
