AC Shadows - Veiled Tumulus Walkthrough and Location

The Veiled Tumulus is a Kofun location for Naoe that grants rewards when completed in Assassin's Creed Shadows (AC Shadows). Learn how to complete the Veiled Tumulus, how to exit it, and the Kofun's rewards and location here!

Veiled Tumulus Walkthrough

How to Complete the Veiled Tumulus

The Veiled Tumulus can only be accessed and completed by Naoe. If you're currently using Yasuke, switch characters before attempting to enter the Kofun.

Note: There will be a few Level 29 enemies inside the Kofun, although they are meant to be eliminated by Naoe.

Step Walkthrough
1

The Kofun is located north of Wakasa. You can head east from Obama or west from Kumagawa to reach the Kofun, then enter the gap as Naoe and be at least Level 29 for the enemies inside.
2

Upon entering, you'll encounter three bandits. The first one is easy to sneak up on and assassinate. For the next two, you can perform a double assassination or throw a tool at the nearby explosive barrel.
3

After eliminating the enemies, climb up the cave path ahead and follow it until you reach a destructible wall.
4

Destroy the barrel slotted right next to the wall with a Kunai or Shuriken, and continue to the next room.
5

Past the next destructible wall, climb up the right side of the cave and follow the upward path.
6

You'll find a Refill Tools box along the way. Just past it, spot an opening where you can see an explosive barrel. Throw a Kunai or another tool to detonate it and break the wall below.
7

Go through the newly made opening gap and head forward along the cave paths. You will then climb up and slide down a slope, diving into a pool of water.
8

Swim out of the water and head through the hallway nearby. At the end of it will be two bandits to eliminate.
9

After eliminating them, continue down the hallway and climb the walls at the end. At the top of the climb is another destructible wall.
10

Destroy the barrel visible through the opening, then enter the path to the final room through the destroyed wall on the left.
11

In the final room, you'll face three bandits, including a heavy variant. You need to eliminate all the bandits before opening the chest.
12

Unlock the Legendary Chest to claim your rewards. Then climb up above the chest to get to the shortcut exit.
