1) Southwestern Perimeter – First Samurai Daisho
The first Uda Matsumaya Castle Samurai Daisho patrols the southwestern edge of the castle grounds. He is often found patrolling close to a small outpost along the periphery, so it's a good location for a stealthy take-down in the shadows.
2) Northern Courtyard – Second Samurai Daisho
The second Samurai Daisho is located in a courtyard on the northern side of the castle. This courtyard is guarded by a few guards, so it is best to arrange for a distraction or utilize rooftop vantage points to reach him without being noticed.
3) Base of the Central Tower – Third Samurai Daisho
The third Samurai Daisho is positioned at the foot of the great tower in the middle of Uda Matsumaya Castle. He seldom leaves his post, so he is an ideal candidate for a swift assassination if you can sneak up on him.
4) Southeast Courtyard – Fourth Samurai Daisho
The last Samurai Daisho guards the southeastern courtyard of the big watchtower. Guards walk through this area often, so a quiet kill will either require good timing or an effective bait.
