Sneaking through every fort and castle inAssassin’s Creed Shadowsis about more than just your pride as an expert Shinobi – it’s about the powerful loot you receive. Once you defeat all three Samurai Daisho in Nochiseyama Castle, you’ll earn the reward waiting for Naoe inside its Legendary Chest.

While you may choose to tackle this area as Yasuke, his stealth skills pale in comparison to Naoe.

How To Find & Assassinate The First Samurai Daisho
Nochiseyama Castleis unlike other locations as it doesn’t feature the same well-defined borders that most castles and forts do.
You’ll come across the entrance suddenly as soon as you run up the first incline toward the castle.
A guard at the first post will tell you off if he sees you approaching, but you can easily pretend to comply andthen sneak along the right side to climb a wall and enter via a roof.From the roof, enter the northern courtyard,the first of this castle.
Unfortunately, you’ll find nobody of consequence and little to speak of, so run along the wall toward the south, then jump off and use the scaffolding in front of you to climb into the next courtyard.
In this courtyard, you’ll immediately see your target:the first Samurai Daisho.
While there are several guards in this courtyard, the Daisho is out of their view when he is closest to the wall, soassassinate him there while no guards are in sightand you’re able to make a clean getaway.
How To Find & Assassinate The Second Samurai Daisho
Once you’re done with the first Daisho,progress further south toward the southern section,where you’ll have to pass through a small road.
Wait in the bush to see the guard patrolling this area’s patterns,then pass through into thehigher elevated, southern courtyardby scaling the wall or using the stairs around the perimeter where more guards are patrolling.
The easiest route is to hug the right side as you progress south, avoiding the stairs and scaling the wall, then staying right and scaling the tower on the right side with your grappling hook.
When you arrive at thedirect central courtyard,take a look around, and you’ll spot thesecond Samurai Daishowith a few guards in the courtyard, including one in the house.
The second Daisho patrols on a paththat takes him through thecourtyardand out onto anoverlook.
He is easiest tokill when on the stone overlook,so watch the Daisho until he gets there, thenquietly assassinate himwhile he stares out at the castle.
You should also take out the nearby guard after the Daisho to ensure he doesn’t turn and see what you’ve done.
