How To Find & Recruit All Allies in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Since you don't have to fight alone in Assassin's Creed Shadows, here's how to find and recruit all the allies in the game.

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Naoe and Yasuke have a difficult task on their hands, but thankfully, they need not go about it alone. And if you are seeking the best way to find and recruit all allies in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, this is a good place to start.

Allies in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Explained

There are two types of allies that can be recruited in the game. Some add new functions in the Hideout, such as the blacksmith, which allows for forging and upgrading your equipment. Then, there are the others who can be used out in the world as combat companions, together with upgradeable abilities that can be useful in all situations.

Once a combat ally has joined up, players will be able to manage them either in the Hideout or in any of the kakuregas that you have unlocked. Once you call them in, they will unleash their initial skill and then continue to fight alongside you until they are defeated or all enemies are gone. Building a dojo in the hideout will let you level them up and also make it possible to have two allies equipped at any given time.

Allies are optional, and you can even miss them all during your story progress in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, but it always helps to have one more blade in your corner.
