Unlike the Onryo / Shinbakufu, the Corrupt Daikan targets are revealed quite later in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. They are a group of corrupt nobles that the protagonists must assassinate to aid the people of Omi.

Players must progress in the main storyline to unlock the list of Corrupt Daikan targets. Once the targets are marked, all that is left is to take all six of them down. Here’s an in-depth guide on how to do so in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

It is when players unlock Yasuke that they will come across a main quest called An Education. Here, the Kuma of the People of Omi gives you information about Lady Oichi and the Corrupt Daikan. Following this, continue progressing the story until you finish The Price of Rice main quest as you start tracking The Mourner, another Shinbakufu. Completing this main quest reveals the full list of the six nobles.
