*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* challenges you to uncover the locations of your targets through exploration and the use of clues provided in the game. However, for those looking to expedite their quest, here's a detailed guide to locating each Kabukimono member:
Ghost General
The Ghost General, leader of the Hungry Ghosts, is known for his voracious appetite and leads a group of ravenous ronin. To find him, head to the city of Sakai in the southwestern part of the Izumi Settsu region. Navigate to the western part of the city, specifically the Money Changer District. Given the numbers advantage of the ronin, it's wise to take them out one by one or utilize Yasuke’s abilities to level the playing field before confronting the Ghost General.
Grave Dancer
The Grave Dancer heads the Defilers, a gang known for their sacrilegious acts. To locate him, travel northeast from Sakai along the main road until you reach the Sumiyoshi Shrine, south of Osaka. Here, amidst the graves, you'll find the Grave Dancer. Dispatch him to his final resting place using your weapon of choice, such as the Hidden Blade.
Ember
Ember, the fiery leader of the Firebrands, seeks to cleanse the world with flames. To find him, travel north from Sakai into Osaka, heading to the Fishermen’s District. Look for the burned-down buildings north of this area, where Ember awaits. Exercise caution in this environment, clearing out other combatants before engaging the pyromaniac to ensure a safer confrontation.
Big Sueki
Big Sueki, a lover of sake, leads a gang that values pleasure over honor. To stop their revelry, journey to Muko Post Town, just north of Amagasaki Castle in the western part of Izumi Settsu. Near the moat, you'll find them. Use the surrounding bamboo and thickets to approach stealthily and bring an end to their party.
Chief Cuckoo
Once honorable, the Chief Cuckoo now leads a group of fallen samurai causing chaos among the peasants. Head to the city of Katano, centrally located in Izumi Settsu. At the southern edge of the town, you'll find the Katano Oil Trading location, where the Chief Cuckoo resides. Utilize the environment to your advantage and bring an explosive end to his reign of terror.
Corrupt Blade, Laughing Man, and Peacock
After dealing with the other members, you'll face the final three: Corrupt Blade, Laughing Man, and Peacock. Travel to the Nishinomiya Shrine, west of Amagasaki Castle. At the shrine's entrance, you can choose to confront them one at a time or gather them in one location for a more efficient battle. Opting for the latter, head to the Harima region.
From the shrine, travel west to the Kakogawa Estuary, then ride northeast along the roads to reach Takagi Otsuka Fort. Continue east to find the trio in a courtyard beside a medium-sized hut. This battle will be challenging, but you can use nearby NPCs to distract the enemies, allowing you to strike strategically. Eliminate all three to fully eradicate the Kabukimono threat.
