Kakurega Hideouts are among the most beneficial new features introduced in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. These hideouts, scattered across Feudal Japan, allow players to fast travel, replenish supplies, accept contracts, and manage allies and scouts. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to locate and utilize these crucial locations.
How to Find Kakurega Hideouts in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, discovering Kakurega Hideouts can be achieved through various methods. These hideouts are often cleverly concealed within cities and towns, and players will be alerted to their presence when they approach them in the open world. A notification will pop up indicating nearby Kakurega availability. At this point, players should access the map, locate the Kakurega icon, and purchase it for 800 Mon. For those looking to find them more proactively, consider the following approaches:
- Rumors: Players can uncover Kakurega Hideout locations by listening to rumors shared by NPCs they rescue during random encounters in the open world.
- Opportunities: Sometimes, Kakurega Hideouts are highlighted in the Opportunities section on contract boards found within already unlocked Kakurega.
What Happens If You Upgrade the Kakurega in your Hideout? Answered
Throughout Feudal Japan in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, players will encounter numerous Kakurega, but the main hub will always be the Hideout at Tomiko’s residence in Izumi Settsu. As part of Act 1’s main storyline, players are required to construct a Kakurega here. It’s highly recommended to upgrade this structure to its maximum level of 3 as soon as possible.
- Level 2 Upgrade: Upgrading to Level 2 unlocks seasonal rumors in each province, revealing the locations of collectibles, treasures, and other engaging side activities. It also allows players to dispatch scouts to reduce their wanted level.
- Level 3 Upgrade: This upgrade is crucial as it reveals additional Kakurega locations across the map and reduces the cost of unlocking new Kakurega by 30%. If players have already explored areas where new Kakurega are located, these will appear on the map and can be purchased once the Level 3 upgrade is completed.
