Assassin’s Creed Shadowsis practically overflowing with criminal organizations and enemy groups for Naoe and Yasuke to obliterate. All throughout the game, you’ll be unlocking new circles in the Objectives menu, each filled with targets to locate. One such group, theGodai Shinobi,is acquired roughly halfway through the game. Given as a side mission by Katsuhime’s fatherShotei, this group of former students is actively working to undermine Naoe. As they are well hidden around the map, this guide will provide the location of each student, showingwhere to find all five Godai Shinobi inAssassin’s Creed Shadows.
How to Start The Godai Shinobi Quest in AC Shadows
Complete Requiem for Rokkaku:
To unlock “The Godai Shinobi” side-quest and organization wheel, you’ll first need to sit down and chat with Shotei and Katsuhime in “Requiem for Rokkaku.” This quest acts as a sort of epilogue to the search forThe Naginata, the Shinbakufu member inOmi. After fully completing The Naginata’s questline, Shotei will be added to the “People of Omi” wheel in the objectives menu. “Requiem for Rokkaku” will be available immediately following.
You will not have to complete any tasks in this mission, as it is purely meant to set up Naoe’s relationship with Katsuhime, which can lead to her joining the League as an ally, as well as one ofAC Shadows’possible romantic relationships(Naoe & Katsuhime). During the chat, Shotei willgive Yasuke a Legendary Bow, and will present the player with a list of former students to track down, initiating “The Godai Shinobi.”
Each of thefive Godai Shinobiis named after an element – i.e. wind, water, fire…etc. You can start anywhere on the wheel, but make sure to check the recommended level, as they are not the same for each. If you are over the base recommended level, the Godai Shinobi will scale with you.
