Mission 8 - Kanazawa City | Walkthrough Shadow Tactics Guide

Last update: 02 January 2017

You begin inside the besieged city - Mission 8 - Kanazawa City | Walkthrough - Campaign - Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun Game Guide

You begin inside the besieged city. Your team will be divided in two groups. Hayato and Mugen to the West, Takuma and Yuki to the South (1). They can reunite only once inside the castle. There are enemy officers under the castle walls (2). While you don't have to eliminate them in order to get inside the castle, it will significantly help your cause. Your main objective is to blow up the enemy storage (3) and deal with the rebel general.

Begin with the southern group: Yuki and Takuma - Mission 8 - Kanazawa City | Walkthrough - Campaign - Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun Game Guide

Begin with the southern group: Yuki and Takuma. Lure the civilian to the door and take him out, then go past the door and take out the guard standing under the vines (1). Set up a trap right in front of where the guard was standing and drag the body back to the building you just left. The patrolling guard will run up to the straw hat's position, where the trap will make short work of him. Hide his body and climb to the roof. Once there, begin with the elimination of the rifleman standing on the scaffold - the highest point of the building (2). Proceed to take down the enemy standing near the crates (3). Finally, take care of the three straw hats, beginning with the last one (4). Now you can set up your own sniper on the scaffold (2). Take out the officers standing near the castle gate and walls. Once your allies clear the bulwark, head for the wall on the right, were the officer was standing. Use Yuki's hook to climb and head right to drop down the ladder. Leave the enemies be in this area, for now. Climb the walls as Takuma and head for the door at the end of the walls.

Now its time for Hayato and Mugen to do some work - Mission 8 - Kanazawa City | Walkthrough - Campaign - Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun Game Guide

Now it's time for Hayato and Mugen to do some work. They'll have to clear out the villa across the street. Let Hayato climb the ivy and to the roof, then tightrope to the wall on the other side. Now, position yourself in the bushes and wait until the samurai and the other opponent go their separate ways. Once the enemy soldier comes around, take him out with your ninjato (1). Then, eliminate the lone rifleman with a shuriken (2), and throw a stone behind the backs of the two nearby straw hats. Once they're busy, order Mugen to join Hayato. Shortly, the samurai will notice something's wrong and head for the body of the dead rifleman. Once he passes near the bushes take him out with Mugen (4) and hide all the bodies. The last enemy should be looking for the lost samurai right about now. Complete the sequence by eliminating two straw hat riflemen (3) and get back on the street.

Stop on the corner of the street. Move out of cover just enough to be able to take out the officer with your shuriken. Wait for the allied samurai to clear the way for you. Pick up your precious star and head for the gate. Lure the guard with the sake bottle and take him out. Enter the castle and hide your men in the corner, where there's a bush and a guard standing in front of it. Select Yuki and have her climb down the walls. Have her approach the storage and use the hook to climb the building. Go to the far side of the roof. You will find a lone straw hat standing beneath you. Unfortunately, another enemy has got an eye on him - and he's standing in the corner. It's time to use the Shadow Mode - have Yuki jump down on the straw hat and Hayato attack the remaining enemy from behind.

Wait for the moment when the patrolling samurai heads back to the prisoners, use this occasion to go through the door near the main gate - Mission 8 - Kanazawa City | Walkthrough - Campaign - Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun Game Guide

Wait for the moment when the patrolling samurai heads back to the prisoners, use this occasion to go through the door near the main gate. Once the samurai passes the door once again, leave your hideout and attack him after he leaves the field of view of the guards standing near the storage (1). When you're done, lure those two with the sake bottle and use the attack with two swords (2). Now it's time to clear the area around the guard tower in the middle of the square. Take out the samurai and the straw hat in a synchronized attack, you can use the wooden fence to sneak - it will completely block enemy's line of sight. Now move the barrel to the designated area and have your sniper detonate it.

Theres the rebel camp, right in front of you - Mission 8 - Kanazawa City | Walkthrough - Campaign - Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun Game Guide

There's the rebel camp, right in front of you. Have your team sneak, one by one, past the sight of the straw hat and to the bushes on the right (on default camera view). Set up a trap near the crates close to the guards and play the flute. Only one of the three will move, and promptly die when he reaches the trap. Wait for the civilian to go for the cargo. Then, order Mugen to use his two swords on the remaining guards while Yuki hurries to silence the civilian and the last enemy in this section. The rest of the enemies can easily be ignored, assuming you'll follow our next advice. It will also allow you to save some time and help you defeat the enemy general.

Before you hide in the bushes, assemble your team, leaving some distance between them and the barrel, and select Mugen - Mission 8 - Kanazawa City | Walkthrough - Campaign - Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun Game Guide

Before you hide in the bushes, assemble your team, leaving some distance between them and the barrel, and select Mugen. Now, let's play a little trick on the general. Move all the barrels near his tent. In Shadow Mode, give Takuma the order to shoot the closest barrel, but leave its execution for later. Have Takuma join the rest of your characters at the meeting point. Your men (and women) will then be forced to take specific positions. Once the general is out of the tent and approaches your barrel, execute the action you've prepared earlier and enjoy your victory. Just remember to aim at the barrel, not at the general - he's armored like a samurai. If the plan with the barrels turns out to be a dud, Mugen will be the only one who can engage the general in direct combat. Other characters will have to use pistols to weaken him, and then finish him off with a melee attack.

Badges and achievements

Do not kill any Rebel officers. The task is easy but it makes finishing the mission a bit more difficult. Hayato and Mugen must go through the entire mansion in order to get to the side gate. Yuki and Takuma must sneak to the wall behind the officers and soldiers to get to the ladder.

Free captivated soldiers. Inside the castle, you have to open both cages that are in front of the explosive barrel.

Kill all of the Rebel officers. The first one, on the side of Hayato and Mugen, can be killed by using Hayato - go near the officer and throw a shuriken at him. The second group should get at the roof of the house with scaffold. Then, use the riffle to kill another two officers. For more details check the guide for this mission.

Kill General Okkoto in 10 seconds. Before you gather your characters in the bushes, so they can discuss the details on assassinating the general, move all of the explosive barrels in front of the tent and space them out closely. After the animation, immediately choose Takuma and shoot the correct barrel. Additionally, you should also kill 4 enemies using an explosive barrel.
