The Kabukimono are a menace plaguing the sanctity of the lands of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The game lets you deal swift justice in the Kabukimono side quest. This assassination side quest sends you on the hunt for all eight members of the infamous group to restore peace to the lands.

It is now up to you to hunt this monster down and trim the Kabukimono numbers. If you’re struggling to find the Grave Dancer or are having difficulty defeating him, we’re here to help.

Where To Find Grave Dancer in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Since the Grave Dancer and his Defilers look to attack everything sacred in the land, it comes as no surprise that your target is in the Sumiyoshi Shrine. This sacred shrine is in Southern Osaka, in the Izumi Settsu region of AC Shadows. To approach this shrine, we recommend spawning in the Tennoji Pagoda viewpoint on the southeastern corner of Osaka and then taking the road leading south along the coast. Follow along the road and you will find yourself on the southern end of the shrine.

The Grave Dancer is at the eastern end of the shrine and is surrounded by a formidable force. Thankfully, the shrine is lush with foliage and has plenty of monuments to scale should you need it. We recommend sticking close to the shrine borders and making your way to the eastern end, moving from bush to bush. As you approach closer, you will stumble upon the Grave Dancer standing beside another member of his gang. Right next to him, you will find a building you can scale. Climb up and get the drop on him for an easy kill.
