Yuki Onna is a Yokai target found at Kawachi Kaza-ana Cave in Assassin's Creed Shadows (AC Shadows). Read on to see a walkthrough of the quest, the location of where to face the Yuki Onna, its rewards, and more!
List of Contents

Yuki Onna is located either inside Kawachi Kaza-ana Cave or within the vicinity of the cave, north of Suzuka Foothills, south of Ibu Highlands in the Omi region. The fastest route to reach the Kawachi Kaza-ana Cave would be to travel north from the Suzuka Foothills.
According to the target clues, you can locate Yuki Onna during the winter season. However, Yuki Onna may still appear in other seasons, making it worthwile to check on the Kawachi Kaza-ana Cave regardless of the season.
If she doesn't appear for you during other seasons, you can change the season by either fast travelling or by holding the Change Season button in the World Map screen once the season meter is at least half full.
How to Change Seasons: Season Effects Explained

If Yuki Onna is inside the cave, it is difficult to assassinate her, as she can sense you crawling about. You must face her head-on when she detects you. Be warned that she is the highest level Yokai.
Yuki Onna may occasionally be found outside of Kawachi Kaza-ana Cave, and assassinating her in this location is much more forgiving. We recommend using Naoe, who can potentially one-shot Yuki Onna with enough levels and Mastery Points in Assassin, specifically putting points on Assassination Damage.
