From the Ashes Walkthrough: Matsus Quests

Need help finding Matsu in Assassin's Creed Shadows? This guide details her location at Hinotani Shrine in the Nabari Wilds, southeast of Kashiwara Village, to start the 'From the Ashes' quest.

Alright, let's get you started on the 'From the Ashes' quest for Matsu in Assassin's Creed Shadows. This is the very first quest in a series for her, and it's all about tracking her down. The game gives you a hint that she's in the Iga region, specifically in the western part of the Nabari Wilds. Your target location is Hinotani Shrine.

If you've already unlocked Kashiwara Village, that's a great place to start. Head to the southeastern corner of the village, and you'll find a bridge not too far from a restricted area. Cross that bridge and keep following the path south. Eventually, you'll reach Hinotani Shrine, and Matsu should be right there, standing out front. Just chat with her to complete the quest, and she'll mention a small cabin nearby that she needs help finding a place to stay.

Heads up: Completing this quest automatically kicks off the next one, called 'The Monk's Wake,' so be ready for that!
