How To Beat Yoshisada (The Silver Smugglers) in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Here is a guide on how you can beat Yoshisada during the Silver Smugglers quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

The Silver Smugglers is one of the many side quests in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. In it, you are asked to stop a group of smugglers who have been stealing silver from Lord Fujitaka for their gain. There are seven targets you need to kill to finish this quest.

Additionally, the final target of this quest is Yoshisada, the right-hand man for Lord Fujitaka. After he is revealed to be the mastermind behind the smuggling operation, it is your responsibility to dispense justice. Here is how you can beat Yoshisada.

How Do You Find Yoshisada in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

After you defeat the leader of the smugglers, you can read a letter penned by her. This letter implicates Yoshisada in the smuggling business. Once you take this letter to Lord Fujitaka, he will ask you for more concrete evidence of Yoshisada’s guilt.

At this point, you will have to confront Yoshida in person. He is located in Miyazu Castle, in the Northern part of Tamba. He will be resting near the central courtyard. The exact location is shown in the image above.

How Do You Beat Yoshisada in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Although Yoshisada is all alone when you find him, you cannot assassinate him in the beginning. Instead, you will have to talk to him first. He will berate you for ruining his plans before attacking you.

Yoshisada is a high-level enemy and uses powerful heavy attacks. If you are playing as Naoe, you should start by breaking his armor. After this, you can run away and hide from him. When he is no longer aware of you, you can assassinate him to deal massive damage. However, if your level is high enough, fight him head-on.

Alternatively, since you cannot catch him off guard, you can play as Yasuke instead. This will make the combat much easier. Either way, he will go down to whatever method you choose.

That was the complete guide on defeating Yoshisada in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
