Follow our guide to find and explore the Old Kofun in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Learn how to navigate its challenges and claim the Amaterasu's Blessing.
Alright, let's tackle the Old Kofun in Assassin's Creed Shadows! This is your first one, so think of it as a friendly intro to what these vaults are all about. It's pretty straightforward, and you'll be doing it as Naoe while you're exploring the Izumi Settsu region.
Where to Find It: You'll want to head to the Izumi Coast. It's a sub-region located southwest of Izumi Settsu, and east of Sakai. If you're coming from Sakai, just head directly east, and you can't miss it. Look for a gap in a wall – that's your entrance!
- 1As soon as you enter, head down the slope. There's a chest waiting for you with some gear. Grab it!
- 2Right next to the chest, go prone and slide through the gap. Keep following this path; it's pretty linear for now.
- 3You'll eventually reach a bigger room. Climb over to your left to keep moving forward.
- 4At the end of this section, you'll see a large gap. Look up! You'll need to use your grapple to swing across.
- 5After the swing, keep following the path. You'll find another small chest with some materials – loot it!
- 6Next, squeeze through another gap.
- 7You'll come to a spot with water. Jump in and dive under to find a hidden path that leads you to the other side.
- 8Once you're out of the water, use your grappling hook again to get over another gap.
- 9Keep following the main path. There's a side path to your right, but ignore it for now and stick to the main route.
- 10You'll need to crawl through one more gap.
- 11After crawling, you'll face a final, pretty big chasm. You'll need to use your grappling hook again. After your initial swing, look for a second grapple point to make it across.
Finishing Up: All that's left is to head out of this room through the door on the left and make your exit from the Kofun. Congrats, you've cleared your first one!
