Kofun tombs in Assassin’s Creed Shadows present exhilarating challenges for players seeking valuable treasures. While most Kofun tombs are relatively accessible, the Takagi Kofun stands out due to its strategic position within an enemy castle, making it particularly formidable. In addition to the difficulties of navigation, players will encounter hostile enemies inside the tomb itself, necessitating that Yasuke is well-equipped before embarking on this adventure to claim the legendary chest hidden within.
How to Access Takagi Kofun in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
To locate the Takagi Kofun, head to Takagi Castle nestled within the Kanki Burned Fields in the Harima region. To begin your quest, ensure you switch to Yasuke. Players must first shoulder bash through a few castle doors, engaging with and eliminating the enemies guarding the entrance to the Kofun. While it is possible to clear the entire castle, defeating all enemies is not mandatory for accessing the Takagi Kofun.
Once you have dealt with the foes surrounding the entrance, the next step is to retrieve an explosive jar nearby and drop it into the Kofun’s entryway. Utilizing Yasuke’s bow, you can blast the jar, revealing the entrance to the Takagi Kofun.
Takagi Kofun Solution
Inside Takagi Kofun, Yasuke will confront enemies as well as blow up various cave walls. Though the Kofun isn’t overly lengthy, its layout can be perplexing. Here’s a detailed walkthrough to successfully navigate through Takagi Kofun and access the coveted legendary chest.
- Begin by descending the stairs within the Kofun, engaging and defeating several enemies in a large chamber.
- To your right, you will spot a pathway shrouded in bamboo, adjacent to an enemy flag. Navigate through this pathway and ascend the nearby platform.
- Proceed through the crawlspace where you’ll encounter an archer waiting for you. Defeat this foe and continue into the cavern.
- Upon reaching another group of enemies, eliminate them before retrieving an explosive jar from the adjacent room on the left.
- Position the explosive jar against the weak wall to the right of a bloodied slop and detonate it.
- Advance through the subsequent crawlspace into a chamber that contains a large crate.
- Delve deeper into this room and move the crate blocking access to a hidden area. Drag it towards the main chamber, creating a platform for Yasuke to access the upper portion of the location.
- Collect another explosive jar from the hidden section, scale the platforms, and toss the jar over the upper edge.
- As the explosion reverberates, the cave wall will crumble, opening up another crawlspace leading you to your next destination.
- Continue through the cave until you encounter the final set of enemies. Dispatch them and use the explosive jar to demolish the cave wall on your left to uncover the legendary chest within Takagi Kofun.
Rewards for Conquering Takagi Kofun
Upon successfully opening the legendary chest, players will be rewarded with Death’s Bloom, an impressive legendary teppo designed for Yasuke. This extraordinary weapon comes with a unique perk that facilitates quick reloads, a feature that can later be engraved onto any other legendary teppo that Yasuke acquires.
After collecting your rewards, players can easily slide down the slope and exit the Takagi Kofun, ready to face new adventures in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
