Complete and collect everything in Nijo Palace with this guide.

This list is going to contain mild spoilers for the story of AC: Shadows.

8"The Cost Of This Statue Is Blood.

Nijo Palace sits in the purple light of a sunset in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

I Do Not Think They Are Ready For That.

Are You Ready For That?"

-Mitsumune To Naoe

The impetus forNaoe’s journeyis revenge.

Bloodborne, Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

But Mitsumune understands the cost of something like that.

7"I Never Wanted Peace.

Not Until We Take Back What’s Ours."

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Naoe and Yasuke Overlooking A Valley

-Kyonyo To Naoe

Kyonyo acts like a mirror for Naoe toward the beginning of the story.

For Kyonyo, that revenge comes at a cost.

A cost that he thinks he’s willing to pay: peace.

Yasuke stands looking pained and basked in orange light on the left, Naoe looks up and in distress in moonlight on the right, and Mistumune sits meditating under the shadow of a tree in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

6"There Is Still Hope.

That Is What Fills The Emptiness."

Kyonyo is not a one-note character, and that’s displayed here.

Feel him in the beauty she saw in the world, in the memories that she had of him.

These games offer plenty to enjoy after Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

But she’s having difficulty seeing that beauty now.

Kyonyo reminds her that there is still good.

5"Thank You For Believing In Me."

| “I Always Have.

Only Now, Can I Show You How Much.”

It’s keeping her up, haunting her.

Nagato has always believed in his daughter.

And not only that, it was holding their love for each other back.

Now, they share a deeper kind of understanding; a deeper bond.

4"You Must Want Something."

| “I Want My Father Back.”

She’s someone who came from nothing, and had no one to help her along the way.

Naoe wants something unobtainable, something impossible.

For her, there’s nothing that can be given; only something that can be taken.

3"Do Not Thank Me.

I Have Brought My Death Upon My Own Head."

Yasuke wants to repay that, before Nobunaga’s death.

To thank him for giving him the opportunity to become what he’s become.

But thanking Nobunaga for that isn’t what’s important.

2"It Is Not About Land.

It Runs Deeper Than That.

For Both Of Us."

He tells Nobunaga to let him give the old man a warrior’s death.

The old man understands it, too.

1"Showed Me Other Ways To Let That Hate Out."

assassin-s-creed-shadows-press-image-2.jpg

Junjiro wanted to kill Naoe at first, for taking someone that he loved away.

But he didn’t; instead, he forgave her.

He turned that emotion into art.

It saves her from fighting for revenge, instead of fighting to make Japan a better place.

Because what she fights for is every bit as important as how she fights it.
