In this guide, we shall go over how to find and defeat the Peacock in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the last of the Kabukimono.
Assassin’s Creed has always been about assassinations, and Assassin’s Creed Shadows allows you to perform your fair share in several of the side quests. The Kabukimono side quest is among one of these, where you’re assigned eight ronin to kill, with the last three of the bunch being a little tricky. Peacock, Laughing Man, and Corrupt Blade are the last of this bunch and are a tricky trio to handle.
As you progress through the Kabukimono side quest and eliminate the first five, you get two different ways to handle the remaining trio of ronin. You can either gather them at a single location or split them up and take them out individually. If you gather them up, you can take out the Peacock and his companions in one go, making this the more optimal path.
Regardless of which way you choose, the ronin is a slippery target, and we’re here to help. In this guide, we shall go over how to find and defeat the Peacock in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Where To Find Peacock in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?
You unlock the option to assassinate Peacock only after killing the first five Kabukimono ronin. Kill Big Sueki, Ember, Grave Dancer, Ghost General, and the Chief Cuckoo, and then you will be given the choice to plan your approach for the trio. You can opt to gather them in a single location in a lumberyard south of Takagi Otsuka Fort or split them across Harima. If split, you will find the Peacock in northern Mount Kasagata, near the Tamba border. This is directly northwest of the Lover’s Lake landmark.

How To Assassinate Peacock in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
If opting to kill the Peacock individually, you will find him with one other ronin by a bridge. The duo can be easily dealt with, so use the foliage to sneak up behind Peacock and finish him off before the other one notices. This is the easier (and less exciting) approach.
If opting for a challenge, you can gather and kill the trio all at once in the lumberyard. Here, the trio will be standing huddled up on the southern end of the lumberyard. Use the rooftops and foliage to sneak up to the bush right next to them. The Peacock is the closest to the bush and is easy pickings. Once the Peacock is killed, the warriors nearby will rush in and help you finish off the other two Kabukimono. The Kabukimono strikes are slow and predictable, so keep dodging, and you’ll be fine.
