And, boys and girls, annoying targets to deal with are found in the Assassin’s Creed Shadows-isn’t it? Weren’t you all just too quick to agree? These are hot numbers really, and it would have been a whole piece of work to get them down, like herding cats at a thunderstorm. Here, therefore, is the easiest guide to abolishing their entire roster off the map-without breaking a sweat.
### **So um, What Are These Shinbakufu Onryo Then?**
For those whe just started the game a nd are already fretting-the Shinbakufu Onryo are those elite targets scattered throughout the world of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. You could liken them to mini-bosses, but only with very serious attitude problems. All hail-the «12». Each individual had his own special tricks, traps, and goons to ruin your day.
### **Take Down The Targets (While Losing Whatever Sanity You Have Left)**
1. **Scout First Then Stab**-They don’t stand wheezing waiting for you to mess them up. Have your eagle (or whatever sort of field-recon tool one has) tag their patrol routes and weaknesses and anything close to hazards-
2. **Stealth All the Way**- Run in like a madman, swinging a sword: that’s a no-no. Those dudes will wreck you. Rooftops, bushes, and distractions are how you take ’em down quietly.
3. **Take Advantage of Weaknesses**: Some people get scared to death when you set their friends on fire. Just try some new things out.
4. **Bring the Right Gear**- You might cause quite the fuss just through struggling. Upgrade, switch weapons, or just get cheap and ranged if you have to.
### **What Is the MVP Move for Real?**
One answer shared by **@mancsi24** included this jewel: “turn on guaranteed assassination and kill ’em like you used to before Origins.” Yeah, if you’re sick and tired of the tricks of new combat, this might be your cheat.
### **What Is This All About? People Are Upset with Shadows Now**
To do with all that shenanigans, **@Abdulra34251203** went a little deeper and actually asked “Why this game gets so much hate?” To that, **@obliviondoll** replied with an equally sizzling response, “Maybe because the developers showcased a historical figure desecrating a place of worship in official gameplay footage?” Ouch.
Then again, **@Tryonus1** kept it **very** simple: “Easy…don’t buy it.” Harsh, yet fair.
### **Last Tip: Don’t Get Distracted Here**
Enjoy the game while hunting those 12 jerks, or rage-quit when one spawns it from across the map (it does happen).
Anyone have any Shinbakufu-slaying secrets? Feel free to let us know below. Or just hiss and spit at us for making it sound easier than it is. Happy hunting, assassins. 🗡️🔥
