Follow our expert guide to conquer the Mind and Body Kuji Kiri Quest in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Learn meditation sequences, find Matsu's Heirloom Scroll, and claim your rewards.
This quest is part of the Kuji Kiri challenges where you'll learn meditation techniques. You can find Kuji Kiri locations across Japan, but the first four in the Izumi Settsu region will trigger a short quest. 'Mind and Body' is the second quest to become available, and it triggers automatically based on your progression, regardless of which Kuji Kiri location you visit first.
The Kuji Kiri can be found in these locations:
- Eboshigata Hachiman Shrine - Southwest of the Hideout
- Fujibayashi Homestead - Northeast of Osaka Castle
- Rolling Glen - East of Osaka Castle
- Kawachi Heights - Southeast of the Hideout

Find Matsu’s Heirloom Scroll: Head northwest to Kasuga Shrine. The scroll is located on an altar inside a smaller shrine at the back of the area. Be cautious, as there are several enemies patrolling the shrine. It's best to stick to the outer edges of the area to avoid unnecessary combat. Once you have the scroll, return it to Nagato to complete the quest.
