YOU WON’T BELIEVE What’s Required to Complete the Silver Smugglers Quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

by

In the chilly north of the Tamba region, as depicted in ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows‘, characters Naoe and Yasuke will come across Hosokawa Fujitaka and his “Silver and Teppo” side mission. Much like other side missions in ‘Shadows’, “Silver and Teppo” revolves around a group of criminal targets, namely the “Silver Smugglers”. These bandits have appeared on the scene following the demise of Oda Nobunaga, and it’s Naoe and Yasuke’s task to eliminate them and restore tranquility to Japan’s northern territories. This guide will help you locate all the “Silver Smugglers” in ‘AC Shadows’, and unveil the rewards you’ll receive for doing so.

All Silver Smuggler Locations in AC Shadows

How to Start Silver Smugglers in AC Shadows:

The “Silver Smugglers” side mission can be located to the south of Miyauzu Bay, which is situated in the northwestern part of Tamba region on your game map. You’ll usually be able to access this area once you have progressed to the lower thirties in the game.

All Silver Smuggler Targets:

Target Name Target Location Rewards Map image
The Interrogator Cave south of Onitake Shrine in Miyazu Bay, Tamba. When you arrive at Onitake Shrine to meet with your contact, they will be dead. Follow the trail of blood up the stairs, and you’ll find a cave entrance at the top. The Interrogator is deep within the cave, with a few other bandits. Killing him will reveal the location of the Teppo Merchant, and the existence of The Slaver. Silver Ace Epic Katana, Damage with Ability Engraving, Spy Warning Quest Item, 270 Mon
The Teppo Merchant The Teppo Merchant is in a courtyard in the southwestern corner of the Fukuchiyama Castle grounds. The castle is located in the Fukuchiyama province of Tamba. The Trading Seal Epic Teppo, Business Proposal Quest Item, 225 Mon
The Slaver The Slaver is located on a ship off the northern coast of Sotomo Gate, Wakasa. The quest will send you to a small warehouse in the Tsuruga Sea Port, but you’ll only find a letter there. You should be able to go straight to the European-style ship just off the coast. Nanban’s Curse Epic Teppo, Critical Chance with Ability Engraving, Invitation to Genbao Fort Quest Item, 235 Mon
The Teppo Smuggler You’ll find The Teppo Smuggler in the center of Yakami Fort, in the Yakami province of Tamba. He is pretty easy to find as he is holding a meeting on a platform with bandit flags all around. Mai’s Warning Epic Teppo, Adrenaline Over Half Health Engraving, Stay Clear of the Tavern Quest Item, 385 Mon
The Silver Trader The Silver Trader is located in the southwest corner of Genbao Fort. The fort is located in the Mount Unchinakao province, right in the center of Wakasa. This is another enemy that is essentially standing out in the open in a ‘castle-type’ POI. Woe’s Fog Legendary Kanobo, Buildup on Block Legendary Engraving, 310 Mon
Mai, The Smuggler Leader Mai is located in Mai’s Mansion, just north of Himeji Castle in Himeji, Harima. The first task will take you to a brewery on the southern side of the castle, but if you head straight to the mansion, you’ll find Mai there. Make sure to read her letter to reveal the final target. Glimmering Sway Epic Naginate, Melee Bleed Affliction Engraving, 255 Mon
Yoshisada After killing Mai, you are prompted to return to Lord Fujitaka. He is reluctant to believe Yoshisada is stealing from him. He asks you to get proof, and then the scene ends. However, if you picked up the letter that Mai was writing, you can immediately hand it to Fujitaka, ending the quest. It seems that Yoshisada is then marked as killed, and the quest ends. We are not sure if this is implying that Fujitaka kills him, or if it is a bug. N/A N/A

The Silver Smugglers Final Rewards:

Following my disclosure of Yoshisada’s secret to Lord Fujitaka, the journey will conclude, and I’ll be rewarded with the following:

1. A significant boost in reputation among the samurai community.
2. An ancient artifact that enhances my combat abilities.
3. Access to a hidden training ground for further skill development.
