Miyazu Castle presents one of the most formidable challenges in Assassin’s Creed Shadows with its elite Samurai Daishos. Defeating these skilled enemies is essential for unlocking a Legendary Chest brimming with invaluable treasures. Given the castle’s robust defenses, adopting a stealthy strategy while controlling Naoe will enhance your chances of success, allowing you to eliminate your targets discreetly without inciting a larger conflict.
Locations of the Miyazu Castle Samurai Daishos in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
1. First Samurai Daisho – Southeastern Corridor
To find the first Daisho, make your entrance through the southwestern walls, avoiding the main gate. Utilize the scaffolding beside the bridge for elevation, and head east to the lengthy southeastern corridor. Here, the first Daisho is positioned among several soldiers.
For a silent takedown, navigate the perimeter walls and seek refuge in a shadowy spot. Employ Shinobi Bells to distract him from his group, allowing you to execute a stealth kill efficiently.
2. Second Samurai Daisho – Central Courtyard
From the first Daisho’s vicinity, direct your gaze northwest across the water toward the expansive central courtyard. The second Daisho is stationed here, accompanied by three guards—two engaged in practice and one on patrol. Use the surrounding walls for cover and conceal yourself in nearby bushes to observe their routines.
Wait for a moment of solitude and lure them using Shinobi Bells, ensuring to eliminate the archers as well. Once their attention is diverted, lure the Samurai Daisho near the crates in the passage and carry out the lethal strike.
3. Third Samurai Daisho – Central-Eastern Courtyard
Proceed northwest to reach the lush central-eastern courtyard. Here resides the third Samurai Daisho, located near a building with an elevated balcony. Access the rooftops to gain a vantage point, taking out the guard on patrol before dropping down to systematically eliminate the Daisho. If necessary, deliver additional strikes to secure the kill and make your escape.
4. Fourth Samurai Daisho – Northern Courtyard
The final Daisho can be found along the extensive northern pathway of Miyazu Castle, where he is observed alongside multiple guards. Engaging him directly can be perilous, as this Daisho proves to be the most resilient. Should he survive your initial attempt, execute swift follow-up attacks to ensure a timely finish before reinforcements can arrive.
