In the tumultuous world of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, where chaos reigns and the vulnerable are often preyed upon, the Brotherhood stands as a beacon of hope. With Naoe and Yasuke at the helm, they are dedicated to protecting the innocent and bringing justice to those who exploit the disorder. If you're on a quest to find and confront all members of the Kabukimono faction in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, let this guide be your ally in your pursuit of justice.
Your journey to dismantle the Kabukimono begins in the Settsu region, where you'll first meet the compassionate priest, Shin’nyo. He will task you with hunting down these rogue ronin, who terrorize the area with their reckless disregard for law and order. The Kabukimono are a band of colorful yet ruthless ronin, unapologetically causing havoc and harm. It's up to you, as an assassin, to restore peace and security to the region by eliminating this faction, which comprises eight key targets.
In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the game challenges you to use exploration and clues to locate your targets, rather than providing direct coordinates. However, if you're looking to expedite your mission and directly confront the Kabukimono, here's where you can find each member:
The Ghost General, leader of the ravenous Hungry Ghosts, can be found in the Money Changer District of Sakai, in the southwestern part of the Izumi Settsu region. Known for his voracious appetite, he commands a gang that consumes everything in its path. To tackle him effectively, it's wise to thin out his followers first or leverage Yasuke's abilities to level the playing field.
The Grave Dancer, head of the Defilers, revels in the corruption that plagues the land. To find him, travel northeast from Sakai along the main road to the Sumiyoshi Shrine, south of Osaka. Amid the buried, you'll encounter this ronin who respects nothing sacred. Dispatch him with your weapon of choice, perhaps the Hidden Blade, to send him to his final resting place.
Ember leads the Firebrands, a group intent on cleansing the world through fire and destruction. Head north from Sakai into Osaka, and you'll find him in the Fishermen’s District, near some burned-down buildings. Approach cautiously, clearing out his followers first to ensure a safer confrontation with this pyromaniac.
Big Sueki and his gang prioritize pleasure over honor, indulging in sake and causing chaos. To end their revelry, travel to Muko Post Town, just north of Amagasaki Castle in the western part of Izumi Settsu. Near the moat, use the bamboo and thickets for cover to launch a surprise attack and bring their party to a close.
Once honorable, the Chief Cuckoo now leads a group of fallen samurai who torment the peasantry. Find him in Katano, centrally located in Izumi Settsu, at the Katano Oil Trading location on the town's southern edge. Use the environment to your advantage for a strategic and explosive conclusion to his reign of terror.
After dealing with the other Kabukimono members, you'll face the final three: Corrupt Blade, Laughing Man, and Peacock. Head to the Nishinomiya Shrine, west of Amagasaki Castle, where you can choose to confront them individually or gather them in one location for a decisive battle. Opting for the latter, travel west from the shrine to Kakogawa Estuary, then northeast to Takagi Otsuka Fort. East of the fort, you'll find the trio in a courtyard next to a medium-sized hut. Utilize the NPCs to distract them, striking when opportunities arise to eliminate these villains once and for all.
That's everything you need to know about locating and confronting all Kabukimono members in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more assistance with the game, be sure to explore resources available at The Escapist.
