Details of the Lightning and Thunder Mission in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

After the cutscene ends, the Lightning and Thunder mission begins, and Yasuke appears out of the dark. There will be some back-and-forth conversation between Yasuke and the soldiers. The objective of the mission is to enter the Tenshu and eliminate the enemies along the way.

Enter the Tenshu

In the Lightning and Thunder mission in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you will gain control of Yasuke. Afterward, Commander Aoki and a bunch of his soldiers will surround Yasuke. Luckily, their gun will get jammed because of the heavy rainfall, resulting in a swordfight.

The soldiers will not offer much resistance, so eliminate them and prepare to fight their leader, Aoki, who is a tougher challenge. Yasuke will need to break Aoki’s extra resistance at the health indicator. Dodge his unbreakable moves and use your special attacks to defeat him.

Next, proceed forward to encounter another group of enemies. Strike down these soldiers and loot their corpses to fill up the inventory. After defeating a few more enemies located on the right, take the stairs on the left to arrive at the tower’s entrance.

Then, take down the final group of enemies and sprint toward the tower’s door, breaking through it. Once you are inside, a cutscene will start where Naoe and Yasuke confront each other. Yasuke will tell Naoe that he wants to accompany her on his journey to take revenge against the Omyros. After a brief hesitation, Naoe will agree, and this completes the Lightning and Thunder mission in AC Shadows.
