Assassin’s Creed Shadows: The Kabukimono Target Guide – Identity, Rewards, and More

The Kabukimono in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a group of 8 Ronins that players must take down to complete the Kabukimono target side quest.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows features several side quests where the players must hunt down a particular group of targets. The Kabukimono are one of such groups that consist of eight Ronins. The side quest becomes accessible to players quite early. However, players can run into them before triggering the quest as well. In that case, the group appears on the Objective board as Unknown Organization. Let’s take a look at where these Ronin can be found and what rewards one gets for defeating them.

All Kabukimono Targets in Assassin’s Creed Shadows – How to Unlock and Rewards

The Kabukimono side quest needs to be triggered for players to start getting the clues on their map. Thus, one must first visit the Nishinomiya Shrine Town. This place is located in the northeastern part of the Izumi Settsu region. Visit the Nishinomiya Shrine and speak to Shin’nyo to begin the quest line.

Out of the eight targets, players will have the option to take down the last three together. However, they can be taken on individually as well. If you visit the shrine after defeating the first five Ronins, you’ll find a signboard inside the compound.
