If you’re playing Assassin’s Creed: Shadows and want to complete the Teach a Dog New Kicks quest, this guide will walk you through it in a clear and simple way. This quest is a fun little training session with Kane and Kinu, where you’ll switch between characters, learn a new ability, and put it to the test. Here’s everything you need to know to start the quest, use the Dropkick move, and finish it.
How to Start the Teach a Dog New Kicks Quest
Head over and chat with Kane and Kinu to start their little “training session.” When the Teach a Dog New Kicks quest begins, Yasuke starts by showing Kinu and Kane a few basic fighting techniques. After that, he gives one of them a solid kick just to see how tough they are.
Right after this, you will switch over to Naoe, and she will automatically unlock a new move called Dropkick. To try it out, press the ability button that matches your control setup. You’ll need to use the Dropkick three times to complete this step, waiting for the cooldown to finish each time before you can use it again.
After that, just follow Yasuke to the nearby spot. Once you get there, you’ll need to use the Dropkick ability again to continue the quest. Just follow the on-screen prompts to practice it. After you pull off the Dropkick properly, all that’s left is to send both of them flying into the barrels nearby. Do that, and the quest is done. Kane and Kinu need some time to rest, so you won’t be able to continue right away. Come back the next day and talk to them again to keep the quest going.
