All Kofun locations and their rewards in Assassin's Creed Shadows

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you’ll come across mysterious tombs called Kofuns scattered throughout Feudal Japan. These tombs are essentially mini-dungeons filled with puzzles and hidden paths. A Legendary Chest inside each Kofun contains powerful rewards, such as weapons, trinkets, and armor. Completing the puzzles and challenges in a Kofun will also grant you a Knowledge Point, which can be used to upgrade your character’s abilities.

Some Kofuns require Naoe’s agility to slip through narrow openings, while others demand Yasuke’s strength to move heavy objects or clear barriers. This guide will provide you with the locations and rewards of all Kofun in Assassin's Creed Shadows.
