If there’s one thing that Ubisoft does well with their multitude of franchises, it’s creating dense environments filled with exploration. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is no different, as the vast world the studio has created is ripe for adventure. Whether it’s the various unique enemies you’ll come across on your adventures or investigating reported Yokai in the area, there feels like an overwhelming amount of content to dig your teeth into.
One such activity is participating in the numerous temples and shrines. Japan is a country of tradition and religion, at least back in the 1500s when Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes place. If you’ve ever been to the country, you’ll know that the number of temples and shrines feels infinite, and in Shadows, it’s well represented with some of the most iconic structures in the Kansai region.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Nishinomiya Shrine Guide
Part of the Izumi Settsu region, find all Shrines in Assassin’s Creed Shadow’s Nishinomiya Shrine.
Purpose of Temples & Shrines
With each of the temples and shrines, there will either be Lost Pages that need collecting or shrines that need to be prayed to. Doing so will unlock a good amount of EXP along with a Knowledge point that can be used to upgrade Nao and Yasuke. Some of these locations have surprisingly well-hidden collectibles, but with this guide you’ll have no problem finding them.
The Sumiyoshi Shrine is located northeast of Sakai in the Izumi Settsu region of Japan. It is also directly southwest of Osaka.
Shrine Locations
If you’re entering from the northern entrance, you’ll come across the first shrine to honor immediately. As you make your way in, look to your right (towards the west) and it’ll be available right as you enter the large area.
The next shrine is fairly close to the last. After entering the shrine from the north, head more south and look to your left (east). There will be large gated structures next to one another. The second one from the entrance will be what you’re looking for.
While the first two are right next to one another, the last one is nowhere near them. The third and final shrine is found on the opposite side of the area in the western portion. It’s essentially in the southwest corner with two small lanterns on it facing north.
Review: Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Is Assassin’s Creed Shadows the hail mary Assassin’s Creed and Ubisoft needed, or should this game have stayed in the shadows?
