Where to Find All Nobutsuna's Students in Assassin's Creed…

After spending some time playing as Yasuke in Assassin's Creed Shadows, players will realize fairly quickly that he is one of the most powerful characters in the franchise's storied history. While his sheer size and strength explain much of his combat prowess, his ability with the katana is at least partially the result of Yasuke's instructor, Nobutsuna. During flashbacks, we see Yasuke's progress from complete amateur to formidable swordsman. However, in the present day of AC Shadows' timeline, Nobutsuna tasks Yasuke with locating all of his former students, in order to learn his final lesson. Here, we'll show you where you can find all six of Nobutsuna's Students in Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Where to Find Nobutsuna's Students in Assassin's Creed Shadows

All Nobutsuna's Student Locations:

Student Name	Weapon Type	Where to Find	Rewards
Marume Nagayoshi	Long Katana	There are two steps to locating Marume Nagayoshi. First, you follow the 'Duel Notices' mini-quest, which leads to a signpost north of Nobutsuna's estate. Marume himself is located at the tip of the island in the northwestern corner of Azuchi, past Saikoji Temple. Azuchi is in the Omi region.

Asari Nobutane	Teppo	Asari Nobutane is the most annoying of all Nobutsuna's students. You must use the Teppo they choose for you. He is found in a bamboo grove south of Negoroji, in northwestern Kii. You can follow the mini-quest that leads to him, or simply head straight to his marker, both of which are shown on the map.	Dark Burst Legendary Teppo, Teppo Multishot Legendary Engraving
Hozoin In'ei	Kanabo	Yasuke must use the Kanobo provided for this fight. Hozoin is located in the southeastern corner of the Asuka Rocks Basin, just north of the massive river that runs through southern Yamato. He is found inside a small temple-like building called the Choanji Yakushido.	Phantom Fist Legendary Kanobo, Faster Charged Posture Legendary Engraving.
Nagano Saemon	Bow	Once again, you must use a Bow provided to Yasuke in this fight. You find Nagano Saemon in Sotomo Gate, Wakasa. This region is in the northwestern corner of the entire map. When you get the spot marked on the map, you'll have to follow a long trail of dead bodies along the beach. This will lead directly to Saemon.	Blood Rain Legendary Bow, Arrows
Yagyu Munatoshi	Long Katana	This duel is incredible. You'll find Yagyu Munatoshi praying atop a mountain in the Nara Heartland of Yamato. If you scout the mountains directly north of Takatori, you'll find Munatoshi's location.	Rat Tail Finisher Legendary Amulet, Adrenaline Gain for Naginata Master Legendary Engraving.
Yuki no Kata	Naginata	You must use the provided Naginata for this fight. Yuki no Kata is located at the I shinohoden Shrine in Harima. The shine is located in the Kakogawa Estuary province, which is right in the center of Harima's southern shoreline. Make your way through the shrine, then up the hill directly behind it. You'll find Yuki at the top of the hill, having just defeated another warrior.	Celestial Blade Legendary Naginata, Auto-Parry on Block Legendary Engraving.
Sanada Masatoyo	Long Katana	After completing all the students on the list, and returning to Nobutsuna's estate for "A Cup of Tea," you must head out to the Suzuka Foothills in Omi to face Sanada Masatoyo. This final fight is the culmination of the entire mission. The Suzuka Foothills are on the eastern side of Lake Biwa, and Masatoyo's estate is found near the eastern shore in the Suzuka Foothills.

Nobutsuna's Students Quest Rewards:

Samurai Stand: This skill in the Samurai skill tree is now unlocked. It is a full ability, and requires 5 mastery points to unlock.
Natural Shinto Shrine: This shrine is unlocked, and can be built at the Hideout. Unfortunately, it is purely cosmetic, meaning it does not function like the Shinto shrines you find in the world, which provide a temporary perk when prayed at.

How to Start Nobutsuna's Students in Assassin's Creed Shadows

To start "Nobutsuna's Students," you must first complete "An Education," the mission where you learn the history of how Yasuke became such a formidable warrior. You can find his quests once he is unlocked as a playable character. After "An Education," you'll be able to visit Nobutsuna at his estate. Going to speak with him will begin "Nobutsuna's Students" in earnest, and provide access to the organization wheel in the Objectives menu.
