Walkthrough for The Killing Field main quest in Assassin's Creed Shadows

The Killing Field mission will begin immediately after The Fatherless Monk main quest in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Kyonyo will point you in the direction of Koretake's executioner. The following hint will appear when you track the mission:

• He is in Izumi Settsu
• He is west of Amagasaki
• He is at Nanatsumatsu

If you have any scouts available, scan the area near the Amagasaki settlement, which is near the coast of Izumi Settsu. If you do not have any available, you can head to the marked location above to find the executioner.

It will be in a small camp, where the executioner is holding prisoners before he can kill them. It is ideal to infiltrate this location at night as there will be a few enemies that you need to take out, and if you get detected the prisoners will die. The ideal way to enter the camp is by using the broken-down cart to get inside the perimeter.

Once you are in, use your eagle vision to locate and mark the targets. The executioner will be in the middle, surrounded by his men. Hide in the grass and lure the first guard towards you to kill him. Then take down the one waiting near the hay bale.

Keep moving slowly till you have killed most of the guards in proximity, before taking down the executioner himself. Make sure to clear the area of enemies before you free the prisoners. Killing the executioner will give you a letter that will give you the next clue in the puzzle to determine Wada Koretake's whereabouts.
