Happy Place Trophy/Achievement Guide

Discover the exact location of Mount Hakkyo in Assassin's Creed Shadows and learn the steps to reach it to unlock the Happy Place trophy/achievement. Follow our guide!

Alright, let's get you that 'Happy Place' trophy in Assassin's Creed Shadows! This one is all about reaching a specific spot on the map, Mount Hakkyo. Don't worry, even if you're just starting out, you can grab this early on.

Where to Find Mount Hakkyo:

First off, you'll be starting in the Izumi Settsu region. Think of it as being just west of Yamato and north of Kii. If you pull up your map, you'll see these regions are right next to each other, with a border running roughly east-west. Keep an eye on that border, especially where it starts to curve upwards towards the north, eventually leading to an out-of-bounds area. Zoom in super close on your map there, and you'll spot a mountain. Go ahead and place a custom marker right on that mountain.

Getting There:

Now, even though the Yamato region itself has a suggested level of 29, you can totally sneak into this area for the trophy without getting into too much trouble. The trick is to just ride past any random encounters. Once you get close enough to the mountain, a Viewpoint marker should pop up on your map. That's your target!

Place another marker on that Viewpoint and activate the pathfinder. Trust me, you'll want the pathfinder here because the route up the mountain is pretty winding and not exactly easy to just climb. Stick to the path it shows you.

The Final Climb:

The exact spot you need to reach is on the eastern side of the Yamato region. You might see a small camp with some enemies along the way, but if you're quick, you can just ride right past them. Seriously, you don't want to tangle with enemies at that level if you're coming here early in the game.

Once you finally make it to the top, just climb up to that Viewpoint marker. As soon as you reach it, you'll automatically activate it, and boom – the 'Happy Place' trophy or achievement should pop!
