Welcome to the immersive universe of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. As you embark on your journey, you’ll encounter a vast open world brimming with locations to explore and activities to engage in. One notable activity involves visiting shrines, where players can take part in the sacred tradition of prayer. Among the shrines you can discover is the Nishinomiya Shrine, often one of the initial encounters for players traversing the enchanting landscapes of the Izumi Settsu province. This comprehensive guide will walk you through all the prayer spots within the shrine, assisting you in completing this essential activity.
Nishinomiya Shrine’s Location in Assassin’s Creed Shadows


To locate the Nishinomiya Shrine, head towards the Nakayama Peak region of Izumi Settsu province. From the Amagasaki Kakurega, navigate westward and circle around the fields until you reach the shrine’s entrance. Upon entry, you will enter a spacious area adorned with multiple shrines.
You need to pray at three specific locations within this shrine to fulfill the requirement and earn a valuable knowledge point. The layout can be somewhat confusing due to the varied terrain of the Nishinomiya Shrine, but fear not—assistance is available.
Players can activate Naoe’s Eagle Vision ability to highlight the prayer locations indicated by white dots, guiding you directly to your destinations.
