If you want to find all of the Jizo Statues in the Wakasa region inAssassin’s Creed Shadows, it might be a little difficult if you don’t know what you’re looking for. The Jizo Statues aren’t marked on the map, and you can only find them by riding right past them. Luckily,they are usually found at key crossroads along the road, but sometimes they are in a more obscure spot than you think they will be.
As you arenavigating the map inAssassin’s Creed Shadows, you will find yourself stumbling across collectibles.There are quite a few that won’t be directly marked on your map, and you will instead have to come across them naturally. Doing so will give you experience and you will get a few other rewards from some of them.Jizo Statues are just 50 exp each, but you will find a lot of new regions that will also give you experience.
All Jizo Statue Locations In Wakasa
Locating All 10 Statues
There are atotal of 10 Jizo Statuesin the Wakasa region, which asks for the player to be around level 29 to handle the enemies in the region. However, you can get the Jizo Statues early if you want,as there are not that many enemies that you can’t just ride away from. This is a littledifferent fromAssassin’s Creed Odyssey, where alerting the wrong bounty hunter will have you getting chased down for the rest of your time playing the game.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Is The Second Biggest Launch In The Franchise, Just Behind Valhalla
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is confirmed to have had the second biggest launch in the history of the franchise, just behind Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
I would recommendusing Naoe to find the Jizo Statues, as exploring the map is her forte. She is nimble and moves quickly, allowing her to move past any enemies without getting stopped. Yasuke is slower and cannot climb as well, and he lacks a grappling hook. The best reason to use Naoe is to alsouse the Jizo Statues as scouting time to unlock the Synchronization Points.
Onyu Pass Jizo Statue
This is the first one I would grab in the Wakasa region if you want to get them in an order that makes sense without too much backtracking. There is theOnyu Pass Overlook Synchronization Pointclose by, and it gives you a good entry point into the region. There is also a Kakurega nearby, but with the very close Synchronization Point I wouldn’t unlock this one.
Shattered Coast Jizo Statue
Next, follow the road to the West and then up the coastline to grab this Jizo Statue in Shattered Coast. It is nearly right across the street from theOuter Maizurur Kakaurega, which, if you’re able to grab it do, because it’s the only fast-travel point in this area. There is a Synchronization Point on the island further Northwest, but the Kakurega is more convenient.
Use thePathfinding featureby placing a marker near where my player icon on the map is and then letting it guide you to your last map marker.
There are somewandering enemies in Wakasa, which you will have to deal with or ride past if they catch you. But it’s not hard to do.
Onyu Pass Jizo Statue #2
This is technically Onyu Pass as well, but it ismuch further north and nearly on the coast. It is on the tip of the island leading to the next main island. If you’re able to risk it, take a detour to grab theObama Guard Tower Synchronization Point. After grabbing this one, you will want to head almost directly east on the same road you are already on.
Onyu Pass Jizo Statue #3
You canfollow the road until you pass Kumagawa Juke, which does have a Kakurega if you have theMon inAssassin’s Creed Shadowsfor it. Go over the bridge, and you’ll be able to see the Jizo Statue. After that,turn around and head back to the last one, or use that Guard Tower to fast-travel back. You’ll be heading into the northern section of Wakasa after this.
Lake Suigetsu Jizo Statue
You’ll want to head directly north, past the Nagahide Estate to find this Jizo Statue.you may walk through Hitokoto Shrine, even if it doesn’t look like it, and you will be able to pass all the way through it and find a path on the other side.I also managed to ride my horse through the Shrine, but I nearly ran down a lot of people doing it, and it was a little cramped, so walking seems better.
Lake Suigetsu Jizo Statue #2
This one will take a little longer to get to, but it is the best route to take. Head slightly southeast toward theSanjoga Take Overlook Synchronization Point. There is an enemy camp just below this point on the road, but it is easy to run through without getting overwhelmed. From there, you can head north along the road.
10 Essential Tips For Assassin’s Creed Shadows The Game Doesn’t Tell You
Assassin’s Creed Shadows can be difficult to get through if you don’t make sure to follow some essential tips and tricks, which will help you succeed!
After this one, there are four Jizo Statues left, and you could head to either of the next two from this one,but I chose to head west, and I still believe that makes the most sense.
Lake Suigetsu Jizo Statue #3
Heading west will take you directly along the road all the way until you reach this one. There are not really any good fast-travel points nearby, but there is theOuter Amiko Kakuregasomewhat close. This part of Wakasa feels very isolated, but you are able to follow the roads fairly easily from place to place.
Lake Suigetsu Jizo Statue #4
This one you can get to by heading directly east from the last Jizo Statue, and you can generallyfollow the map marker to the Hikidan-jo Ruins, which will take you right past the Jizo Statue. It’s a slight backtrack, but it felt a lot better to me than going in the opposite order,because you can leave from this one to go directly to the next Jizo Statueon the list.
Sotomo Gate Jizo Statue
From the last Jizo Statue,go directly north into Sotomo Gate. There are a number of ways you could go from there, but sticking along the river is likely the best way to go. The Tsuruga Kakurega is on the south side of the river, but I would cross the river before you get there,at the first bridge you come to. Then you can take the first major right and the Jizo Statue won’t be that far ahead of you.
Mount Uchinakao Jizo Statue
You can go directly east from the past Jizo Statue to get to this one. It’s about as isolated and as far north as you can get on the map right now. There is a Synchronization Point and theOuter Genbao Fort Kakuregathat you can grab nearby, which may help you out later. But this will be the last Jizo Statue you can find in Wakasa inAssassin’s Creed Shadows.
