Discover all five members of The Iron Hand Guild in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, including their identity, locations, and rewards.

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you encounter many organizations that you must defeat as part of the story. One such organization is the Iron Hand Guild, a shady merchant group operating in the Izumi Settsu region. However, the fascinating aspect of this target on the objective board is that the quest giver requests you to spare most of the group’s members.
The Iron Hand Guild has five members that you can kill (or spare), and killing the boss of the group automatically spares the other four members.
All the Iron Hand Guild Targets in Assassin’s Creed Shadows – How To Unlock and Rewards
The Iron Hand Guild objective board can be unlocked by talking to Imai Sokun in Saka, which is in northwestern Izumi Settsui. As we mentioned before, Imai Sokun requests that you spare as many of the members as you can. However, there is no benefit to either sparing or killing the targets in this mission. Therefore, the choice is completely up to the player regarding what they wish to do with the guild members.
