Follow our detailed Assassin's Creed Shadows walkthrough for The Killing Field mission. Learn stealth approaches, enemy locations, and how to defeat Shindo Hiroshii.
Walkthrough
- 1Locate Nanatsumatsu: Nanatsumatsu is in northern Izumi Settsu, west of Amagasaki. If you haven't been there, swim across the river from Osaka. Alternatively, if you completed 'Stolen Faith', you've been there. Find Amagasaki Castle and head west, or go east from Nishinomiya Shrine Town.
- 2Infiltrate the Camp: Upon approaching the enemy camp, activate Eagle Eye to mark all enemies, including Shindo Hiroshii, the Executioner.
- 3Stealth Approach (Northern Entry): Start at the northern end of the camp. Assassinate the guard stationed behind banners, which will block the view of your drop.
- 4Eliminate Digging Guard: From the banners, look right to find an enemy digging. Assassinate this guard.
- 5Deal with Roaming Guard: After killing the digging guard, either exit the camp or go prone and crawl into the tunnel in the middle. The roaming guard may discover the second body. Wait until he is alone to eliminate him quietly.
- 6Assassinate Guard Behind Shindo: Return to the tunnel and exit the other side. You can assassinate the enemy directly behind Shindo without him hearing.
- 7Eliminate Eastern Guard (Optional): To further thin enemy numbers, take out the guard stationed at the eastern end of the camp.
- 8Confront Shindo Hiroshii: You can now confront Shindo Hiroshii. He has three health segments. If you lack the Assassin skill tree upgrade, he may survive the initial stealth attempt, leading to a direct fight.
- 9Boss Fight Mechanics (if applicable): If fighting Shindo directly, block/parry his combos (blue sparks) and dodge his unblockable strikes (red sparks). Try to fight him in the middle of the camp for more dodging room.
- 10Quest Conclusion: After defeating Shindo, retrieve the letter on him, which mentions Koretake being in Amagasaki Castle. This concludes the quest.
- 11Optional Objectives: Free the prisoners in the middle of the camp and loot any chests or gather materials for your Hideout.
Tips
- Use Eagle Eye frequently to keep track of enemy positions and patrol routes.
- If stealth fails against Shindo, focus on parrying his attacks to create openings.
- Looting chests and gathering materials after the main objective can provide valuable resources for your Hideout.
- Letter mentioning Koretake's location in Amagasaki Castle.
- Completion of 'The Killing Field' mission.
