Walkthrough: My Name is Yasuke in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
As you delve into the My Name is Yasuke quest, your primary objective is to end the life of Duarte de Melo, a notorious Templar who has caused great anguish to Yasuke and his mother. This quest serves as a culmination of previous missions, particularly the Dark Waves, Black Ships, which reveals significant clues about Duarte’s whereabouts.
Locate Duarte de Melo by Defeating Portuguese Enemies

Your search for Duarte de Melo begins at the coastal area of Lake Suigetsu. Although he won’t be present initially, players must seek out his ship. Approach the designated area cautiously; here, you will overhear Portuguese soldiers discussing Duarte’s plans.
As Yasuke, challenge the six enemies present in a direct confrontation. By defeating one of them, you will acquire a crucial item known as the “Orders from Duarte,”which provides further context for your mission.
Convince the Boatman to Navigate to Duarte’s Ship

With new information about Duarte’s location, your next step involves persuading a boatman to assist Yasuke in reaching the ship. Proceed to the western shore of the island, following the quest marker to assist in your navigation.

Upon arrival at the shore, you will witness two Portuguese enemies harassing the boatman. Utilizing stealth, approach and eliminate them to secure the area, then interact with the boatman to request his assistance in sailing to the enemy’s ship.
Defeat Duarte de Melo in the Final Showdown

After your dialogue with the boatman, a cutscene will lead Yasuke to Duarte de Melo’s ship, where the climactic battle commences following a brief exchange of words. Armed with both a gun and sword, Yasuke must strategically evade Duarte’s powerful attacks to create openings for counterattacks.
