A Promise quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows showcases Yasuke’s journey of eliminating the Templar targets. The quest starts only after completing The Silver Queen quest, where Yasuke agrees to help find Hosokawa Tama’s little brother. So, you must travel to the Kameyama Castle and rescue Akechi Mitsuyoshi.
This article highlights the required steps to finish the A Promise quest in AC Shadows.
A Promise quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Walkthrough
You can access the A Promise quest in the Templar target segment from the in-game objective tab. Following their interaction during The Silver Queen quest, Hosokawa Tama promises to reveal Nuno Caro’s location if Yasuke rescues her little brother and brings him to her. The templars held him in the Kameyama Castle in Tamba.
Reach the Kameyama castle and find Mitsuyoshi
After starting the quest, the title will provide you with the following clues regarding Akechi Mitsuyoshi’s location:
- He is in Tamba
- He is in Kameyama Castle
- He should be near the tenshu
So, travel to the Kameyama sub-region, which is in the north of the Silver Lands. As you find the castle, get inside using the western opening. Although you’re playing as Yasuke, you can reach the required location without fighting.
You can silently climb the castle stairs, cross the subsequent gate, and get on top of the boxes to go through the open window. When you go to the top using the stairs and access the left-side house, you can find Mitsuyoshi’s servant lying on the ground.
The servant will reveal that Mitsuyoshi is locked beneath the tenshu and give you a stolen key to access the area. From there, proceed in the southeast and stealthily creep behind the enemies to access the required tower. When inside, use the key to open the tenshu door and find Akechi Mitsuyoshi.

Eliminate the enemies to defend Mitsuyoshi
In the subsequent part of the quest, Yasuke must protect Akechi Mitsuyoshi during their journey to the castle’s exit. Mitsuyoshi will stop at two locations, and you must defeat the enemies there to progress.
Furthermore, each area has four to five enemies on average, which should be easy for Yasuke and his brawling capability to deal with. After eliminating the targets, follow Mitsuyoshi to exit the Kameyama castle.

Go inside the castle to find Mitsuyoshi’s katana
With Mitsuyoshi safe, you must retrieve his katana from the castle courtyard. Follow the objective marker to the specified location, where you need to defeat multiple enemies.
Furthermore, a mini-boss fight against a Templar named Baltazar will commence. You can automatically collect Mitsuyoshi’s blade after killing him. Notably, you will also receive the Howl of the Dragon (Legendary Amulet) and the Critical Damage for Long Katana Mastery (Engraving) as rewards.
Return to Mitsuyoshi in the Atago Shrine
Finally, reach the Atago Shrine in the Tamba Highlands area, interact with Mitsuyoshi, and give him the katana. Afterward, keep following him to Hosokawa Tama’s location.
While talking to her during the cutscene, the game will give you options to choose several prompts. As the overall narrative stays the same irrespective of your choices, select your preferred dialogues to complete the A Promise quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Finishing the quest grants you 2000 XP and two Mastery Points as rewards, and the final mission in Yasuke’s journey, End of the Line, begins.
