If you're on a quest for justice and aiming to track down all Kabukimono members in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, let us guide you through this challenging endeavor.
The Kabukimono
Your journey to confront the Kabukimono begins in the Settsu region. Here, you'll meet the compassionate priest, Shin’nyo, who will task you with hunting down these rogue ronin to restore peace to the area. The Kabukimono are a group of flamboyant ronin who operate without regard for the law, causing havoc and harm wherever they go. It's up to the assassins to bring them to justice and provide solace to the populace. In total, there are eight distinct targets within the Kabukimono faction.
How and Where to Find All Kabukimono Members in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* challenges you to uncover the locations of your targets through exploration and clue-following, rather than providing direct markers. However, if you're looking to streamline your search and confront the ronin swiftly, 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 and leads a gang that devours everything in their path. To find him, head to the city of Sakai in the southwestern part of the Izumi Settsu region. Navigate to the western part of the city, specifically the Money Changer District. Given the number of ronin present, it's advisable to eliminate them one by one or utilize Yasuke's abilities to level the playing field before engaging the Ghost General.
Grave Dancer
The Grave Dancer leads the Defilers, a group that respects nothing, not even the sanctity of the dead. To confront him, travel northeast from Sakai along the main road until you 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 the Hidden Blade or any weapon of your choice.
Ember
Ember, the leader of the Firebrands, is intent on purifying the world through fire and destruction. To stop him, head north from Sakai into Osaka, and proceed to the Fishermen’s District. Just north of this area, you'll find some burned-down buildings where Ember resides. Be cautious of your surroundings and clear out any other combatants before engaging him. Extinguish his flame to save countless lives from a fiery fate.
Big Sueki
Big Sueki, a ronin with a penchant for sake, leads a gang that has traded honor for indulgence. 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 Big Sueki. Use the surrounding bamboo and thickets to approach stealthily and deliver a decisive blow.
Chief Cuckoo
Once honorable samurai, Chief Cuckoo and his followers have fallen into disrepute, now terrorizing the peasantry. To stop them, head to the city of Katano, centrally located in the Izumi Settsu region. At the southern edge of the town, you'll find the Katano Oil Trading location, where Chief Cuckoo is stationed. Utilize the environment to your advantage and bring this villain to a dramatic 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, where you'll have the option to confront them individually or together. Opting for the latter will save time. From the shrine, travel west to Kakogawa Estuary, then northeast along the roads 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 you can use the NPCs to distract the enemies and strike when the opportunity arises. Eliminate all three to completely eradicate the Kabukimono threat.
That's everything you need to know about locating and confronting all Kabukimono members in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more assistance with the game, be sure to explore resources on The Escapist.
