Assassin's Creed Shadows Interactive Maps & Completion Hub

The Assassin's Creed Shadows interactive map on Map Master is the most complete coverage of Feudal Japan's open world — developed by Ubisoft Quebec and released on March 20, 2025.

Shadows sends players into Sengoku-era Japan as two protagonists whose collectibles and activities don't fully overlap: Naoe Fujibayashi, the Shinobi, and Yasuke, the African Samurai.

Every location, collectible, and activity for both characters across Japan and the Awaji Island DLC is tracked on Map Master's Assassin's Creed Shadows Japan map and Awaji Island map — no installation, no external software, with per-user progress tracking synced across sessions.

What the Assassin's Creed Shadows Interactive Map Covers: Naoe and Yasuke Split

The character-specific activity split is the most important structural fact about collectible hunting in AC Shadows. Several categories only appear for one protagonist:

• Naoe only — Kuji-kiri (nine-mudra meditation spots), Hidden Trails, and stealth-centric Knowledge Points are Shinobi activities exclusive to Naoe.

• Yasuke only — Kata (swordsmanship training sequences) and Horse Archery contests are Samurai activities exclusive to Yasuke, who also handles the Kamon Crest collectible chain for Ota Gyuichi's quest.

• Both characters — Legendary Chests (containing unique Armor, Weapons, and Accessories), Viewpoints, Castles, Enemy Camps, Kakurega (Shinobi hideouts), Shrines, and Temples.

Map Master's Unique Advantage: Random Events and Complete Knowledge Points

Map Master is the only website to mark the precise locations of Random Events — the dynamic encounters that appear throughout Japan and are tracked by no other interactive map resource.

For the Platinum trophy, Knowledge Rank progression requires finding every Hidden Trail, Horse Archery challenge, Kata exercise, Kofun tomb, and Kuji-kiri meditation spot — all fully documented across both the Japan and Awaji Island maps.
