Once you arrive at the castle, you have to raise an alarm. For this, you must use the guided mode and create chaos in the area. Soon, the guard at the watch tower will raise the alarm. Afterward, you will get the wanted status, and this will cause enemies to spawn quickly.

After the alarm, soldiers will try to attack you, and you will spot the guardian. You do not need to assassinate him at this point. First, get out of sight of the enemies. To do so, climb the stairs leading towards the castle’s walls. Next, hang from the wall to distract the soldiers.

When you spot the guardian near the boundary, use Naoe’s stealth skills to assassinate the guardian in one go with the hidden blade. Once the guardian is eliminated, you will earn the Giant Slayer Trophy in AC Shadows.
