Naoe and Yasuke will need all the help they can get to eradicate the Shinbakufu from the lands of Japan in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Shotei and his daughter Katsuhime are two new allies that team up with our characters to fight against Akechi Kagemitsu. However, during the Showdown in Sakamoto quest, locating Shotei can get confusing as he's on the outskirts of town with no named location around him. So, unless you're thinking of using scouts or turning on guided mode, here's where to find Shotei in AC Shadows.

Gennojo is a flirty thief who is a romance option for Naoe and can be recruited into the league in Assassin's Creed Shadows, here's how.
How to Start Showdown in Sakamoto Quest
Showdown in Sakamoto is the final quest for the Naginata of the Shinbakufu, where players will assassinate Akechi Kagemitsu in Assassin's Creed Shadows. To start this quest, players must first complete the two pre-requisite quests, An Evening in Otsu and Against the Koga-ryu.
Once these two quests are completed, players will be required to meet up with Shotei near the Sakamoto town. However, after searching for all the undiscovered locations around the town, Shotei is nowhere to be found. Here's how you can find him.
Where to Find Shotei in Assassin's Creed Shadows
According to the clues provided in the Showdown in Sakamoto quests.
- Shotei is in Omi
- He is at the tower near Sakamoto
- The tower overlooks the town
However, there aren't any towers around Sakamoto, at least not near it. To find Shotei and the tower he's located in, head to the northern part of the town of Sakamoto. After you reach here, look across the fields, and you'll spot a wooden structure perched up on a hill (refer to the image above). That's the tower where players can find Shoei.
Simply take the path towards the left side of the hill and start going up the hill from there. After a few twists and turns, players will arrive at the Sakamoto Tower. Here, Shotei will be standing at the edge of the cliff, looking over the town.
Now that you've found Shotei in the Showdown in Sakamoto quest in AC Shadows, you can easily proceed with the quest and assassinate Akechi Kagemitsu, located inside Sakamoto Castle. However, there are a few steps involved before players can proceed with the assassination.
