Kakurega Hideouts are one of the most valuable additions in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, serving as essential hubs for players exploring Feudal Japan. Strategically placed across the map, these hidden sanctuaries allow you to fast travel between regions, restock supplies, take on new contracts, and manage your network of allies and scouts. Knowing where to find them—and how to make the most of their features—can significantly enhance your journey. Here’s everything you need to know about locating and upgrading Kakurega Hideouts.
How to Find Kakurega Hideouts in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Finding Kakurega Hideouts in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is both intuitive and rewarding. Many are cleverly hidden within cities and towns, blending seamlessly into the environment. As you approach one during your exploration, an on-screen notification will alert you to its presence. Once prompted, open your map to locate the Kakurega icon and purchase access for 800 Mon.
For players who prefer a more proactive approach, there are alternative methods to uncover these hidden bases. Kakurega locations can be revealed through rumors shared by NPCs after you rescue them during random encounters across the open world. Additionally, certain Opportunities listed on contract boards within already unlocked Kakurega may directly point to new ones, making it worthwhile to check these regularly as you progress.
What Happens If You Upgrade the Kakurega in Your Hideout? Answered
While Kakurega Hideouts are scattered throughout Feudal Japan, your primary base of operations will be the Hideout at Tomiko’s residence in Izumi Settsu. Building your first Kakurega here is part of the main story mission in Act 1. However, to truly maximize its utility, you should prioritize upgrading it to the maximum level of 3 as soon as possible.
Upgrading to Level 2 unlocks seasonal rumors in each province—these provide valuable intel on collectibles, hidden treasures, and other side activities. It also enables you to deploy scouts to clear your wanted level, helping you evade enemy attention more efficiently.
Reaching Level 3 offers even greater advantages. This upgrade reveals additional Kakurega locations across the map and reduces the cost to unlock them by 30%. If you’ve already explored areas containing newly unlocked Kakurega, they’ll automatically appear on your map and become available for purchase once the upgrade is complete.
