Where to find all Takatsuki Castle Samurai Daishos in Assassin's Creed Shadows: Rewards and more
Assassin's Creed Shadows introduces a massive map of Japan filled with quests and collectibles. During exploration, you will stumble upon castles where you can defeat a few Samurai Daisho for a legendary reward. While some of these forts have five Daisho, others, like the Takatsuki Castle, only have three. This castle is located on the northern side of the Izumi Settsu area on the map.
If you are playing as Yasuke, you can simply barge in and defeat everyone. However, the better approach is to avoid violence by playing as Naoe and sneaking inside stealthily. This article will explain where to look for the Samurai Daishos in Takatsuki Castle.
Location of all Samurai Daishos in Takatsuki Castle in Assassin's Creed Shadows
1) First Samurai Daisho
Infiltrate the castle from the bottom-left entrance, and you'll see a brawl break out in the area outside Use this disturbance to your advantage and waltz in undiscovered. You will now be in a courtyard, where you need to either climb the rooftops or hide in the bushes while following the first Samurai Daisho. He will be accompanied by a few regular enemies, so plan your assassination accordingly.
2) Second Samurai Daisho
Now, head north to reach the large scaffolding. Climb the area to assassinate the guard patrolling on top and keep moving ahead until you reach the roof. From here, you will get a clear view of the second Samurai Daisho. He has a habit of surveying the area and often stops near some bushes and a house. Head to his spot and assassinate him from the bushes.
3) Third Samurai Daisho
Follow the rooftops from the right side of the courtyard to reach the bottom portion, where you will see the final Samurai Daisho. You will also get to see a few regular enemies patrolling the area.
Here are three different ways to approach this assassination:
- Kill the guards one after the other and leave the Daisho for last.
- Assassinate the Daisho first and then fight the rest of the guards.
- Assassinate the Daisho and escape without killing the other guards.
Carry out the assassination however you want, and then get ready to collect your reward from Takatsuki Castle.
