How To Pray at the Ishinohoden Shrine in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

The Ishinohoden Shrine is deep in the woods, and you have to travel there using a horse. You can start from the city of Kakogawa Estuary once you are done praying at the Takasago Shrine in that area. Go to the northern gate of the city, and from there, the shrine is just a short, scenic ride away. You can also use the pathfinder and mark the location to help you not stray away from the path.

From the northern gate, keep riding north till you reach Tatsuyama Dock. You have to exit the dock and stick to the left path till you reach a fork in the road. Here, pick the left path and keep going west till you reach the Ishinohoden Shrine. There are a total of two smaller shrines you have to pray at in this area to obtain the rewards.

First Praying Location

Right after you reach the front of the building, look northeast to find your first smaller shrine, which you must pray at. Go near it and interact to start praying. Moreover, you can use the observation function to easily locate the smaller shrine locations if you are having a hard time finding them.

Second Praying Location

The second location you need to pray at is inside the Shrine. Get back to the entrance and head west. Keep running and head past the barriers and walls, right into the heart of the shrine. Soon, you will reach a large monolithic structure, which seems to be floating in the air. But, in reality, there is a small pillar supporting the large rock that is hard to see at first. The smaller shrine you need to pray at is right in front of the large, unique rock.

Here’s what you get after praying at both the smaller shrines at the Ishinohoden Shrine in Assassin’s Creed Shadows:

• 500 EXP
• 1 Knowledge Point
