Kakurega Hideouts are a game-changing feature in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, offering players a strategic advantage across the sprawling landscapes of Feudal Japan. These hideouts serve multiple purposes, from fast travel to restocking supplies, accepting contracts, and managing allies and scouts. Here’s a detailed guide on how to locate and utilize these crucial spots.
How to Find Kakurega Hideouts in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, discovering Kakurega Hideouts is an essential part of your journey. These hideouts are cleverly concealed within cities and towns, but the game will notify you of their presence as you approach them in the open world. When you see a notification that Kakurega are nearby, simply open your map and navigate to the icon. You can then purchase access to the hideout for 800 Mon.
For a more proactive approach, listen to rumors from NPCs you rescue during random encounters. These rumors can reveal the locations of Kakurega Hideouts. Additionally, some Opportunities found on contract boards in already unlocked Kakurega might point you toward new hideouts.
What Happens If You Upgrade the Kakurega in Your Hideout? Answered
Your primary base of operations is the Hideout at Tomiko’s residence in Izumi Settsu. Here, you’ll be required to construct a Kakurega as part of the main storyline in Act 1. It's highly recommended to upgrade this structure to its maximum level of 3 as soon as possible.
Upgrading your Kakurega to Level 2 unlocks seasonal rumors in each province, guiding you to collectibles, treasure, and other valuable side activities. It also allows you to send out scouts to reduce your wanted level.
Reaching Level 3 with your Kakurega is a game-changer. It not only reveals additional Kakurega locations across the map but also slashes the cost to unlock new hideouts by 30%. If you’ve already explored areas where new hideouts become available after this upgrade, they will be marked on your map and ready for purchase once the Level 3 upgrade is complete.
