Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Heads Will Roll Main Quest Walkthrough

Heads Will Roll in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is one of the numerous main quests. Here’s how you can complete it.

Heads Will Roll is a main quest available in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. In this quest, Kyonyo sends Naoe on a search for his friend in a plea for help, and he shows desperation in wanting allies to defeat Wada Koretake’s army.

Naoe agrees to this quest and follows Kyonyo’s orders. This guide will give you a detailed rundown of how to complete the Heads Will Roll quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

How To Start Heads Will Roll Main Quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

To initiate the Heads Will Roll questline, you must talk to Kyonyo first. He can be found east of Amagasaki Castle, or you can check the map if you’re unsure where to go.

This quest will be automatically tracked in your journal after completing three prior questlines related to Wada Koretake. Make sure to choose “I’m Ready To Fight” in the conversation with Kyonyo to start the quest. However, if you feel unprepared, you can back out with “No, I’m Not Ready.”

Once the quest starts, it will be divided into two main objectives:

• Kill The Snipers at The Gate
• Assassinate Wada Koretake

Kill the Snipers at the Gate

After the cutscene ends, Kyonyo will lead you and his army to Amagasaki Castle. Using Naoe’s sword and hidden blade, you can easily take out the seven snipers that defend the castle’s main gate.

A total of seven snipers will be covering the gate. You can locate the first three right above the first gate’s wall. For the last four snipers, head inside the castle, and you can find them in an encampment.

Assassinate Wada Koretake

Wada Koretake is located in the northwest corner courtyard inside the castle. You can use the tall grass and plants to hide in the shadows and sneak your way through lofty vantage points.

Once in the courtyard, you can use Naoe’s Eagle Vision to identify the target and ultimately assassinate him. However, considering the number of enemies throughout the castle, stealth may be a weaker option. Since Naoe has a sword with her, you can always fight the incoming enemies head-on.

With the assassination of Wada Koretake, you will be rewarded with:

• 2000 EXP
• 2 Mastery Points
