Can Yasuke Climb and Parkour

Yasuke will have very limited climbing and parkour abilities in Assassin's Creed Shadows (AC Shadows). Read on to learn more about Yasuke's climbing and parkour abilities, as well as how to get around the world as him.

List of Contents

Can Yasuke Climb and Parkour?

Yes, but with Great Difficulty

Yasuke climbs slowly

With his heavy armor and large stature, Yasuke struggles to climb and parkour the same way Naoe does. Although you can climb small buildings and jump across, Yasuke will take a long time getting himself up a ledge, and struggle with walking along ledges as he tries to balance himself.

If players wish to scale buildings and jump across rooftops, it is recommended to play as Naoe.

How to Switch Characters

Yasuke Cannot Scale Some Walls and Buildings

Yasuke can

Yasuke's jumping ability has little reach, making it difficult for him to scale buildings and tall walls. This, combined with his slow movement, makes parkour a bad escape tool for him.

Yasuke Cannot Access Some Hidden Trails and Kofuns

Yasuke going into a Naoe activity

Hidden Trails are an activity exclusive to Naoe, consisting of parkour challenges with large gaps Yasuke cannot cross. Some Kofuns are also locked behind tight crevices, which Yasuke cannot fit through.

How to Move Around as Yasuke

Horseback is the Fastest Mode of Transport

Horseback is Yasuke

Travelling by horse is the fastest way to cover long distances. This can be done by holding the down button on the directional pad on consoles, and holding the X key on PC.

All Horse Controls

Sprint as Yasuke

Yasuke Sprinting

Sprinting will be your next option of travel, as horses cannot gallop in major settlements. Hold down L3 or Left Stick on consoles, and hold down Shift on PC to sprint.
