How To Beat Iron Hand (Iron Hand Guild) in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

How to find and beat Iron Hand as part of the Iron Hand Guild quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the Iron Hand Guild is one of the important organizations we are responsible for taking down. Five members of this guild are required to be tracked down. We shall examine how to locate and beat Iron Hand itself in this guide.

The Iron Hand Guild quest can be unlocked after completing the “Temple of the Horseman” main mission. Once you gain access to the open world, visit Katano Oil Trading, which is located southwest of Katano Castle. This is precisely located northeast of Izumi Settsu. Once here, stealthily make your way toward a small house in the southernmost part of Katano Oil Trading. A letter can be found on top of a table.

How To Find the Iron Hand in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

After having encountered all the other merchants and either sparing or killing them, you would have acquired all the hints to find and beat Iron Hand. There are hints provided on the objective board that suggest the merchant is located in Tamba, operating via his base set up in Fukuchiyama Castle. Set a waypoint near the objective and fast-travel to the nearest location.

The main boss could be in various areas depending on the time of day you begin the mission or other factors. He will, however, most likely be toward the south of the fast-travel point of Fukuchiyama Tenshu.

Beat Iron Hand as Part of the Quest

The Iron Hand’s motive is to replace House Imai by recruiting all of its rivals and then creating a new merchant guild. You have two different options to execute the mission: either by attacking and going into a duel or silently assassinating everyone.

Once you reach the location, the blip of the main boss will appear on your screen. If you make your presence known, all the bandits and the boss will join the fight to execute you. Kill all the merchants and finally beat Iron Hand, and you will receive the “Letter from Iron Hand.” You are now tasked with taking the letter to Sokun and informing him about the assassination.

It is important to note that when you kill Iron Hand, it immediately spares the lives of all the other merchants working under him. You will be asked by Imai Sokun to leave the merchants alone.

After finishing the quest, you receive:

1. Damage with Poison – Engraving
2. 2 Mastery Points
3. Letter from Iron Hand
