Find the Ancient Tomb of Nanjo in Assassin's Creed Shadows and navigate its maze. Follow our step-by-step guide for the correct choices to find the objective chest.
The Ancient Tomb of Nanjo is located in the southwestern corner of the Yamashiro region, southwest of Kyoto. There are no enemies within the tomb, making it accessible at any level if you can reach it undetected.
Walkthrough
- 1Descend the exposed staircase entrance into the tomb. Slide through a crack in the wall, pass a sarcophagus, and optionally loot a chest to the left (the objective chest is white when viewed with observe mode, while side chests are gold).
- 2Continue west and use your grappling hook or jump into a pool of water. Climb onto a ledge to the west, descend stairs, climb another ledge, and drop into a chamber with a square pool of water – this is the hub room.
- 3From the hub room, head north and west, then drop into a chamber for the first choice.
- 4First Choice: Take the north slope. Slide down, go west into a chamber split by a pool. Jump across stalagmites to a west ledge, go through a doorway, and drop into a watery pit. Swim south to a ledge, crawl through a hole to emerge in a chamber with two east-rising staircases. Ascend them, go through a doorway, follow winding tunnels to another watery chamber. Look southwest for a ledge with a stalagmite. Jump into the water, swim to the ledge, and climb the stalagmite. Go south through a doorway and drop into the next chamber.
- 5Second Choice: Take the south slope. Loot a chest, then continue down the south slope. You'll reach a watery passage. Look east to spot your destination. Turn west to find a dock, jump onto a stalagmite, then another embedded in a cliff. Follow planks northeast, turn west, jump a gap to a ledge, then jump across planks south. Slide through a crack south to a chamber with a chest. Exit, advance to planks northeast, and use your grappling hook to swing east. Climb up to the east, head uphill to a pool. Climb the cliff in the northeastern corner (not a stalagmite) and ascend stairs. Turn west, drop into a chamber for the third choice.
- 6Third Choice: Take the south slope. Drop into the room with two slopes (south and north). Use observe mode; the objective marker is north, indicating the wrong path. Slide down the southern slope and follow the tunnel ahead.
Tips
- The objective chest is marked white when using the observe button, distinguishing it from regular loot chests which appear gold.
- The hub room with the square pool of water is a reset point if you take a wrong turn.
- Pay attention to the observe mode to identify the correct path, especially at the third choice.
