If you manage to complete the quest dubbed Dismantling One By One in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you’ll have a much easier time dealing with Imagawa Tomeji during that boss battle. The Dismantling One By One quest involves locating 14 captains and eliminating them. However, the problem is you don’t know where the captains are at the start.

You can learn about them from civilians whom you help out. Even so, you can’t get to some of the captains unless you take down a few of the 14 first. So, in this guide, we’ll explore where each of the captains is, how you can fight them, and what rewards you acquire from them.
