Walkthrough for “The Killing Field”in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
The quest will commence right after completing “The Fatherless Monk.”At this stage, Kyonyo will direct you towards the executioner linked to Koretake. You’ll receive the following hints as you track your mission:
- Location: Izumi Settsu
- Direction: West of Amagasaki
- Specific area: Nanatsumatsu
If you have scouts at your disposal, use them to survey the vicinity near Amagasaki, located along the Izumi Settsu coast. Alternatively, you can navigate directly to the marked spot to locate the executioner.
This target is situated in a small encampment where he is holding captives prior to their execution. For a tactical advantage, it is preferable to carry out your mission under the cover of night. You’ll encounter several enemies here, and it is critical to avoid detection, as it could lead to the prisoners’ demise. A discreet entry point is available via a dilapidated cart that allows you to breach the camp’s perimeter.
Once inside, utilize your eagle vision to identify and mark your targets. The executioner will be centrally located, flanked by his men. Conceal yourself in the grass and methodically draw in the first guard to eliminate him silently. Next, take down the guard lurking by the hay bale.
Continue to move cautiously and eliminate the remaining guards in the vicinity before confronting the executioner. Ensure the area is clear to safely free the prisoners after dispatching your main target. Successfully killing the executioner will yield a letter, which contains the next clue necessary for tracking down Wada Koretake.
