How To Beat Raider Akumu (The Winter Raiders) in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Learn how to find the location and beat Raider Akumu as part of the Winter Raiders quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Naoe and Yasuke are tasked with destroying the Winter Raiders, a seasonal organization. This implies that tracking this quest is only possible during the winter season. You must meet Rin close to Gobo to start the Winter Raiders quest. She will give you the assignment to track down and kill the raiders. In this article, we’ll examine how to locate and defeat Raider Akumu from the Winter Raiders in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Raider Akumu is a battle-hardened warrior who later turned into a criminal. She is feared by ordinary people as well as seasoned warriors. Her preferred choice of weapon is her bow and arrows.

How To Find the Raider Akumu in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

The objective board will give you certain hints about the whereabouts of Raider Akumu. She operates in Kii during the winter season and is in the central Nakahechi Route.

Head toward the objective blips area by fast travelling to the nearest location. This is located in a mountain region right above the marker of the Nakahechi Route on the map.

Once you reach the Nakahechi Route, near the objective blip, make your way up the slope till you see two bandits on your way. Go up the slope to the left, away from their path, silently.

Assassinate the Raider Akumu

As you approach the ledge, you will hear Akumu communicating with the bandits, teaching them about why she raids during the winter. The reasoning behind the strikes is that the villagers are at their weakest and most vulnerable phase, and finding help is tougher. Another reason is that the storehouses are filled with loot for them.

Once you are done overhearing their conversations, drop down the ledge and beat Raider Akumu. Escape via the woods after the deed is done.

After finishing the quest, you receive:

1. A Thousand Cuts – Bow (Rarity depending upon your level)
2. Knock Down Shot – Engraving
3. Letter from Akumu to Sobei – Quest Item
4. 2 Mastery Points
