Are you debating whether you should kill or spare Ukita Naoie in Assassin’s Creed Shadows? This fella has earned the ire of a powerful warlord as well as that of our two protagonists. Still, you’re given a choice regarding his fate, and how you’ll break the news to his young son. Oh, and do take note that this guide contains spoilers.
Should you kill or spare Ukita Naoie in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
The decision to kill or spare Ukita Naoie happens as part of the campaign arc where you need to eliminate The Noble member of the Shinbakufu group. Here’s a quick summary:
- This arc takes place in the Harima region, though most quests that you tackle are in Himeji.
- Tasks include meeting Kuroda Kanbei, joining a rengakai (i.e. poem writing) ceremony, finding a shipment of munitions and armaments, and chasing down a man in a loincloth (no joke!).
- Eventually, you’re told that Hideie, Ukita Naoie’s son, has been kidnapped. When you do attempt to rescue him in Itatehyozu Shrine, it’s also revealed that Ukita Naoie is none other than The Noble, the Shinbakufu target that you’re hunting.
