After completing the A Promise quest, Hosokawa Tama reveals Nuno Caro’s whereabouts. The game hints that he’s getting ready to leave Japan and is currently in Takeda Castle.

The castle is located in Takeda, on the western edge of the Tamba region. After getting there, the best bet would be to engage in head-on combat since you are playing as Yasuke.

• Shut up.

Furthermore, choose one of the following dialogues to say to Nuno Caro:

• Let us duel.
• You will all die.

Once you reach Nuno Caro, the fight kicks off right away. Although the opponent has no additional armor to break, he can deal significant damage. Dodge his red attacks and strike when he's vulnerable.

Furthermore, if you're using a Kanabo, the Spine Breaker ability is pretty destructive. Other Samurai abilities, such as War Kick and Battle Cry, can also help you defeat him.

After diminishing Nuno Caro's health bar, a cutscene will showcase Yasuke's conversation with him. When Caro asks, "What makes you think you can win?", you can choose any of the dialogue prompts:

• We are strong.
• You are weak.

Later in the conversation, when Caro says, "My group will send everything at you," select one of the following dialogues:

• You should worry about yourself.
• Let them try.

Yasuke then executes Nuno Caro, marking the conclusion of the End of the Line quest in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Finishing the mission grants you 5000 XP and two Mastery Points as rewards.
