The Iron Hand in Assassin's Creed Shadows, Explained
The Iron Hand mission chain becomes accessible after Naoe masters the tea ceremony under Imai Sokun's tutelage, a respected Settsu merchant. Later reuniting with him, you'll learn about impersonators conducting illicit business under House Imai's name.
Your mission is to dismantle this underground merchant syndicate threatening the legitimate House Imai. Five distinct merchants control various operations, each presenting opportunities for either non-violent resolutions or lethal elimination based on your preference.
How to Locate Every Iron Hand Guild Member in Assassin's Creed Shadows
As one of *Assassin's Creed Shadows*' early investigative boards, this activity requires exploring locations and analyzing clues to pinpoint targets. Our guide eliminates the legwork entirely.
Merchant Tamao
This contraband trader operates conspicuously in Yamashiro region's Kyoto. Visit Honpoji Temple on the city's eastern side, then head west to find Tamao holed up in his brewery. After listening to concerned staff, provoke his emergence by destroying courtyard barrels and confront him physically.
Merchant Kanta
Found in Omi's Mouth of Seta, Kanta differs from others - observation reveals he's coerced into service. This intel permits sparing him, allowing his subsequent employment in Imai Sokun's merchant fleet.
Merchant Ginroku
This purveyor of rare delicacies operates near Tamba's Miyazu Bay, southwest of Miyazu Castle. Nearby huts contain exonerating documents - eliminate him or let him join House Imai's Sakai Port operations.
Merchant Kin-no-suke
This suspiciously wealthy merchant employs bandits near Obama's Trading Port in Wakasa. Surrounded by guards, stealth approaches with smoke bombs prove effective for this compulsory elimination.
The Iron Hand Leader
The final confrontation occurs in heavily fortified Fukuchiyama Castle (Tamba region). The south castle walls house the well-protected leader. Methodically eliminate guards before engaging this formidable opponent. Upon completing this mission, return to Imai Sokun for rewards.
