This band of outlaws has been stirring up trouble in the Wakasa region. Therefore, you will be tasked to put an end to this group’s illicit activities. The method depends on you, whether you want to jump into danger as Yasuke or take a more subtle approach with Naoe.

Kage is one of the five targets you will need to kill (or spare) to complete the overall arc. So, here is how you can find and defeat Kage from the Pirate’s Alliance in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Kage will be a part of the Pirate Alliance storyline, where you will have to assassinate or spare five chosen targets. However, not all of them can be spared. This quest can be acquired by talking to Shido, the Biwa Master in the Tsuruga Sea Port area.

You can now track down this quest from the Objective Board, which will reveal five targets for you to take down. The first of these targets you must assassinate is Kage. Luckily, you don’t have to go far to find him and will also get the following clues:

  • His ships are in Wakasa.
  • He sails west of Obama’s port.

You can always use a scout to try and find him, however, if you have run out of scouts, or don’t want to use them up, then the exact location is marked in the image shown above. There will be three ships in the same area, as shown in the image above. Just grab a boat from the port area to get to this place quickly.

You will find Kage on one of the three ships that were mentioned previously. The best way to approach this target is most likely with Yasuke. This is because he is surrounded by minions in a small area, which makes assassinations quite difficult.

Therefore, you should be prepared to fight your way in and out in case you get spotted. Defeating Kage in hand-to-hand combat is also not a difficult task. Moreover, he has quite a simple move set, which consists of some light attacks, along with a kick.

Keep deflecting or dodging these attacks based on the indicators, and eventually you will be able to deplete his health to zero. This will be the end of Kage of the Pirate’s Alliance in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
