How to Kill the Executioner: The Killing Field Walkthrough

Add to Watchlist

AC Shadows The Killing Field Walkthrough

The Killing Field is a quest under The Onryo board that requires you to kill the executioner of Wada Koretake in Assassin's Creed Shadows (AC Shadows). Read on for a complete walkthrough of The Killing Field, including how to find the executioner in Nanatsumatsu, and the rewards for completing the quest!

The Killing Field Walkthrough

Kill the Executioner

Now that you have Mitsumune's trust, you have gained another ally in the hunt for The Wounded. Your next move is to find Koretake's executioner and send The Wounded a warning in blood. The chief executioner is in a small camp in Nanatsumatsu, located west of Amagasaki.

You'll know if you found the right spot if you see an enemy camp surrounded by yellow banners, bonfires, and a couple of crucified villagers.

Assassinating the Executioner

assassinating the executioner

If you don't want to face the executioner and his guards head-on, find the climbable tree on the east wall and use the branch that extends to the camp's interior to land on a haystack below.

From there, assassinate the nearest guards (you can call their attention by whistling) indiviudally to reduce the chances of detection. Once the coast is clear, get the executioner's attention, wait for him to approach the haystack, and add his body to the pile.
