Walkthrough: Prison Break Quest
1. Free Naoe and Tsuyu
After entering Sumoto Castle via the secret passage, push forward with Yasuke.
- Climb the wall and head northeast.
- Open the door, ascend the staircase, and defeat the enemy inside.
- Unlock the next door to find Naoe and Tsuyu.
2. Retrieve Naoe’s Gear
You’ll now switch to playing as Naoe. Your goal is to recover her equipment.
- Use the rope to cross to the opposite rooftop.
- Drop down through the small door.
- Wait for two guards to finish talking; one will leave the area.
- Enter the next room to reclaim Naoe’s gear.
3. Secure the Area
Now that Naoe is armed again:
- Stealthily eliminate guards one by one.
- Use rooftops for positioning and silent assassinations.
- Once all enemies are down, open the large door and regroup with Yasuke and Tsuyu.
4. Defend Naoe While She Lowers the Platform
Switching back to Yasuke:
- Fight off waves of enemies approaching Naoe.
- Use ranged weapons like the Bow or Teppo to hit enemies and explosive barrels.
- Refill arrows and bullets from nearby supplies.
- Handle close-range attackers with melee combat.
- Keep Naoe safe until she fully lowers the platform.
Once complete, Yasuke crosses over and reunites with Naoe.
5. Follow Tsuyu (Stealth Section)
As Naoe again:
- Crouch and follow Tsuyu to cover.
- Hide in the bushes and assassinate nearby guards silently.
- Perform a double assassination on two guards near the entrance.
- Climb onto the platform above the door and choose “Lower Platform.”
6. Boss Fight: Tomeji
Yasuke now faces Tomeji, a tough but manageable boss.
- Focus on dodging and parrying his heavy strikes.
- Break through his armor first—this takes patience.
- Once his armor is gone, his health drops quickly.
- Using the Kanabo’s Spine Breaker ability is especially effective.
- At ~30% health, a cutscene triggers.
7. Escape Sumoto Castle
- Avoid arrow volleys by taking cover.
- Move northeast toward the exit with Naoe and Tsuyu.
- A final cutscene plays, allowing you to choose dialogue prompts (both outcomes are the same).
The Prison Break quest concludes here, seamlessly leading into the next mission, Way of the Bo.
Conclusion
Completing the Prison Break quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a test of both stealth and combat. Switching between Yasuke and Naoe keeps the gameplay dynamic, while the Tomeji boss fight challenges you to use parries and patience. Successfully escaping Sumoto Castle sets up the next stage of the Claws of Awaji DLC storyline.
