Kakurega Hideouts are an essential new feature in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, offering players a range of strategic advantages across the game's expansive setting in Feudal Japan. These hideouts serve as crucial hubs where players can fast travel, replenish supplies, accept missions, and manage their allies and scouts. Here’s how you can locate them and make the most of these invaluable spots.
How to Find Kakurega Hideouts in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Discovering Kakurega Hideouts in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* can be an adventure in itself. These hideouts are cleverly concealed within cities and towns, yet the game hints at their presence when you approach their vicinity. Keep an eye out for a notification indicating nearby Kakurega; upon seeing it, access your map and locate the icon to purchase the hideout for 800 Mon. If you're eager to uncover these hideouts more systematically, listen to rumors from NPCs you rescue during random encounters in the open world. Additionally, some hideouts might be highlighted in the Opportunities section on contract boards at already unlocked Kakurega.
What Happens If You Upgrade the Kakurega in your Hideout? Answered
In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, your primary base of operations is the Hideout at Tomiko’s residence in Izumi Settsu. Building a Kakurega here is a storyline requirement in Act 1, but upgrading it to its maximum level of 3 is highly beneficial. Upgrading to Level 2 unlocks seasonal rumors in each province, guiding you to collectibles, treasures, and other side activities. It also allows you to send out scouts to reduce your wanted level. Reaching Level 3 is a game-changer, unlocking more Kakurega locations and reducing the cost to unlock them by 30%. If you've already explored areas where these new hideouts are located, they'll appear on your map ready for purchase after the Level 3 upgrade.
