Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Nobutsuna’s Students Target Guide – Identity, Rewards and More

Discover everything about Nobutsuna’s Students in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, including their identity, locations, and rewards. 

Assassin’s Creed Shadows features numerous side quests that contribute to the world-building. There are also personal quests that dive deep into each of the two protagonists’ stories, which give us more information about their lives. When you unlock Yasuke as a playable character, you get his personal quest, An Education. This quest leads you to unlock the side quest called Nobutsuna’s Students. 

Nobutsuna Sensei is Yasuke’s old teacher. After you talk to him, a group of his six ex-students appears on the objective board that you have to duel. An additional seventh member also appears on the board once you defeat the other six students.
