Tips on Completing Castles
Tag All Enemies Before Infiltrating
Castles are huge areas with enemies on every corner. Regardless of how you want to eliminate the Samurai Daisho, you'd want to know the locations of every other enemy so you can plan your attacks better and avoid getting jumped.
Use the tag feature to mark all enemies in your sight range and track their movements. Tagged enemies will be highlighted on the screen even when they are moving.
Use a Stealth Approach
When dealing with enemies inside Castles, it is recommended to maintain stealth and assassinate them individually, starting with the isolated ones. Engaging them in an open area is very likely to alert nearby enemies, and you will get swarmed shortly after.
Prevents Ringing of Alarm Bells
When you're spotted and an alarm bell is nearby, enemies will try to run towards the alarm bell and trigger it, placing the Wanted status on you in the region. Using a stealth approach can reduce the chances of triggered alarms from happening.
Just to be safer, you can also destroy the alarm bells before anyone else reaches them or kill the enemies trying to reach them.
Smuggle Resources with Scouts
Other than the loot scattered all over the Castle vicinity, there are also resources that can be smuggled by your Scouts. These resource stacks are usually found in locked rooms that can only be opened with the respective Castle Kura Key.
After finding a stack of resources, approach and tag it so your Scouts can take it to the Hideout at the end of the season.
Find More Scouts or Reduce the Scout Requirement
Smuggling resources usually require two Scouts to execute, and will only refresh once the resources are taken to the Hideout at the end of the season.
To increase smuggling efficiency, you can either add more Scouts by building a Study on your Hideout or reduce the requirement to one Scout per resource stack by upgrading the Stables.
Best Hideout Building Priority
Resource Wealth May Vary Each Season
Casltes may have a different amount of wealth after a season. They may also have lower wealth if you've already smuggled resources from them.
What are Castles?
Major Bases with Legendary Chests
Castles are major points of interest in the game crawling with enemies that Naoe can infiltrate for more loot, including a Legendary Chest that contains unique equipment and engraving.
A certain number of Samurai Daisho must be killed within the castle to unlock the Legendary Chest. They are elite enemies that roam around specific locations within the castle.
