Correctly finishing quests in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the route to follow if you want to explore its excellent open world and descend into its rich story. If you’re going with the main story or exploring the side quests, having knowledge of how to approach objectives will improve your experience. A combination of classic waypoints and new systems for gathering intelligence, the game invites intentional exploration. This walkthrough will take you through different types of following quests, from the main quest to side quests, so that you will never be without something to do.
How to Track Quests
Questing and goals in Assassin’s Creed Shadows can be a daunting experience, particularly for a novice. With its open world and boundless activities to engage in, one need not worry that they will ever have nothing to do.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows has a gargantuan map and plenty of quests. Of course, you can avoid the side quests and only follow the main plot, but then playing the main plot will be an added bonus in terms of immersion and the game itself. It is not that having access to all map markers and missions at the same time sometimes puts you in a position where you feel like you have too many things going on.
Tracking Main Quests
Tracking main quests in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is pretty straightforward. Once you complete a quest, the next one starts automatically. You can check your active missions in the “Quest Menu” and follow the default blue waypoint on the map to reach your objective.
Exploration and Intel-Gathering
But this time around, the game does things differently. Because you are a shinobi, there is more exploration and intel-gathering involved. You will find yourself having to scout out your target from elevated positions such as rooftops and pillars. If you do not collect enough intel or see your target, the next target will not be accessible and you will have no waypoint on the map to lead you.
Managing Multiple Quests
In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you can have more than one quest simultaneously. For better organization and not to confuse yourself, make use of the Quest Log under the in-game menu, as quests are categorized nicely there. Because side quests may not show up on the map, you will have to use scouting and information gathering. Watch out for particular NPCs giving quests by thoroughly scanning the surrounding area.
