If you're on a quest for justice and aiming to locate all Kabukimono members in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, let us guide you through this mission of retribution.
The Kabukimono
Your journey to confront the Kabukimono begins in the Settsu region. Here, you'll meet the compassionate priest, Shin’nyo, who will set you on the path to hunt these lawless ronin and restore peace to the area. The Kabukimono are a group of flamboyant ronin who act without restraint, disregarding the laws and causing havoc. It's up to the assassins to bring them to justice and offer solace to the populace.
In total, there are eight Kabukimono targets to eliminate.
How and Where to Find All Kabukimono Members in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Like other targets in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the game doesn't explicitly reveal their locations. You'll need to explore the world, using provided clues to narrow down your search. If you're looking to save time and get straight to the ronin, here's where you can find each Kabukimono member:
Ghost General
The Ghost General leads the Hungry Ghosts, a group of voracious ronin. Following the clues, head to the city of Sakai in the southwestern part of the Izumi Settsu region. In the western part of the city, you'll find the Money Changer District, where the Ghost General resides. Given the number of enemies, it's advisable to take them out one by one or use Yasuke's abilities to level the playing field.
Grave Dancer
Leading the Defilers, the Grave Dancer and his gang have no respect for sanctity. To find him, travel northeast from Sakai along the main road until you reach the Sumiyoshi Shrine, south of Osaka. Here, amidst the graves, you'll confront the Grave Dancer. Use your Hidden Blade or any preferred weapon to send him to his own grave.
Ember
The Ember leads the Firebrands, a gang intent on purifying the world with fire. Travel north from Sakai into Osaka, heading to the Fishermen’s District. Just north of it, you'll find burned-down buildings where the Ember awaits. Clear out any other threats before engaging him to ensure a safer battle.
Big Sueki
Big Sueki and his gang indulge in sake, forsaking honor. To confront him, head to Muko Post Town, north of Amagasaki Castle in the western part of Izumi Settsu. Near the moat, you'll find Big Sueki. Use the surrounding bamboo and thickets to approach stealthily and end the revelry.
Chief Cuckoo
Once honorable samurai, Chief Cuckoo and his followers now terrorize peasants. Travel to the city of Katano, centrally located in Izumi Settsu, and head to the southern edge where the Katano Oil Trading location is. Utilize the environment to your advantage and bring a fiery end to Chief Cuckoo.
Corrupt Blade/Laughing Man/Peacock
After dealing with the other Kabukimono members, you'll face the final trio. Head to the Nishinomiya Shrine, west of Amagasaki Castle. At the entrance, you can choose to hunt them down individually or confront all three at once in Harima. If you opt for the latter, travel west from the shrine to Kakogawa Estuary, then northeast to Takagi Otsuka Fort. East of the fort, you'll find the trio in a courtyard next to a medium-sized hut. This battle will be challenging, but you can use the NPCs to your advantage. Eliminate them all to end the Kabukimono threat permanently.
That's everything you need to know about finding and confronting all Kabukimono members in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more assistance with the game, be sure to explore The Escapist.
