Samurai Daisho Locations for Nijo Palace in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

To infiltrate the castle, head to the southern side. There’s a patch of dry land just after you cross the moat here. Naoe can use her grapple hook to climb up and over the boundary wall of the palace in this manner. Inside, use the observe mechanic to mark the different enemies. The ones with the helmet icon over their heads are the Daishos you need to take out.

Here are their locations.

• Samurai Daisho 1: Go to the northwest corner of the castle until you reach a training area. This is where you’ll discover the first Samurai Daisho patrolling.
• Samurai Daisho 2: Head to the largest building in the northern corner of this palace. You’ll find the next target behind this building in a garden.

There’s a Kano Painting inside this castle for you to collect. After assassinating the first Samurai Daisho, look east to find a building. The Kano Painting is inside. You’ll need to be careful to avoid the watchful eyes of the many servants walking around. Kill the Samurai inside the building before claiming the painting.
