We be taught from Sadatame that his brother poisoned him and took management of the Ise clan, rendering him weakened. Sadaoki and his clan do no matter soiled work Lord Mitsuhide arms him.

He seems to be the goal of this assassination. To uncover his tracks, our subsequent quests after this transient introduction are the Lacking Missives and Inside Assist.

Lacking Missive

To persuade his brother to go away Mitsuhide’s facet, letters from Sadaoki appear to have been stolen from Sadatame’s messenger, and it is as much as Naoe or Yasuke to get them again.

Inside Assist

To assist achieve an infiltration benefit into Yamazaki Fort, Sadatame has a good friend within the fort guard there, Ujimasa, who’s hiding at Kiyomizudera Temple.

I’ve highlighted the temple’s location above, just under the Hills of Assembly. After sipping the temple’s blissful water streams and speaking to Ujimasa, we’ll want to achieve his belief earlier than he arms us our entryway benefit.

This is the gist: Ujimasa requires that you simply assassinate everything of the Twisted Tree. These are rogue Samurai who terrorize Kyoto and its individuals and might be discovered individually in your goal board with their very own location clues.

Should you’re like me and have been doing each little bit of facet content material, you may possible have knocked out most of them and can solely have to discover a couple extra.

It’s also possible to spare a couple of of those targets while you method them, permitting you to keep away from the battle and nonetheless reap their rewards.

If not, I strongly counsel going after every one, as most of them are your normal brute enemies discovered throughout the area, some even having nice rewards.

Though it is some additional steps and padding, you may have to cope with all of those targets to progress the search goal. It is not as unhealthy because it sounds. Most of those samurai are comparatively simple to search out and must be simply defeated.

As soon as you have worn out all of the Twisted Tree samurai, head again to Ujimasa, and he’ll provide the Yamazaki Fort Gate Key to shut off this sub-quest.

The Rising Tide

One of many letters mentions that Sadaoki could attend a Sumo match, so Naoe and Yasuke head there to presumably intercept him.

There are not any gameplay goals right here; you merely want to move to the marked location of the match in your map close to Ogura Pond for a brief cutscene.

Whereas Sadaoki would not present up, that is extra of a healthful bonding second between Yasuke and Naoe than the rest, with an sudden encounter with the unseated shogun himself, Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

Misplaced Honor

It is time to go after Sadaoki. Test your gear, particularly on Yasuke, since he’ll be the character we use for the top sections of this quest in a boss battle.

The plan is to create a distraction within the outer courtyard as Yasuke kills the fort guards whereas Naoe infiltrates and opens the interior courtyard gate.

The sport switches between the 2 characters right here, and I’ve mentioned each views and their primary goals beneath.

The Outer Courtyard As Yasuke

With Yasuke, your primary goal is to fill your goal with enemy guard kills. You will have to preserve transferring ahead for all of the guards you could defeat to spawn.

There are two guards the start of this part, with one other one proper earlier than the breakable picket gate. From then on, it is only a matter of taking each single enemy down.

I strongly advise having the Energy Sprint and Payback abilities for Yasuke’s Lengthy Katana. They will provide help to mow down enemies rapidly, particularly any brute varieties that may be annoying to battle.

It’s also possible to stun-lock enemies through the Hyperlink Assault ability from the Samurai tree, which lets you change weapons between combos to maintain the string going. The Nagitana is a superb secondary weapon right here because of its vary.

The Inside Courtyard As Naoe

As soon as you have killed all of the guards with Yasuke, the sport will change reins over to Naoe so you possibly can sneak in and unlock the interior courtyard gate.

The gate is marked in your HUD, so you possibly can progress nonetheless you would like, however attempt to keep a stealth technique as a lot as attainable.

Naoe’s Kunai’s are retrievable and permit for simple headshots of enemies. Plus, in case you’ve bought the Double Assassinate ability from the Murderer tree, you possibly can knock off two enemies concurrently, as proven above.

There is a particular part right here simply earlier than the gate within the distance the place you could get to greater floor. Take your time right here, and in case you get caught by too many enemies, do not be afraid to make use of a smoke bomb to flee the encounter and regroup.

As soon as you have defeated each enemy in sight and unlocked the gate, the sport will change again to Yasuke one final time to escort Sadatame to his brother.

How To Defeat Ise Sadaoki

As you escort Sadatame and defeat extra incoming enemies, you may ultimately come face-to-face with Sadaoki, AKA The Idiot.

The sport will allow you to select which character you wish to play as right here. I selected Yasuke because of his tanky playstyle and skill to crowd-control simply, however be at liberty to pick out Naoe in case you’re comfy together with her fight.

Sadaoki will even have three guards at his facet; ensure that to take them out first after which transfer on to him. I’ve described a couple of of his strikes beneath to present you an concept of the right way to counter them.

Assault	Sample / How To Counter
Six Slashes Combo	A sequence of six slashes, with the final one being a thrust. They will all be simply parried.
Roundhouse Kick	An unblockable swinging kick that may be evaded.
Three Slashes	Three unblockable sword slashes can kill you in case you’re not cautious, particularly if utilizing Naoe.

Should you’re utilizing Yasuke right here, you can also make fast work of the battle utilizing his highly effective abilities. You may even use Warfare Kick to cancel Sadaoki’s assault animations.

Tearing by his armor will likely be a bit of tough, however when you do, simply use Energy Sprint to make him susceptible to deal chunks of harm.

Yasuke’s combo cancelation additionally works properly right here, however do not get too carried away, as Sadaoki can nonetheless assault you halfway by it.
