AC Shadows: What is Boards?

Boards is a specific list of quests in Assassin's Creed Shadows. It is very similar to the investigation board from Assassin's Creed Mirage, but this one has been expanded. On this page of the guide, we described how Boards work and how to use scouts.

How do Boards work?

Boards replace the typical quest list. Since the identity of your targets is initially hidden, you will have to conduct investigations to uncover their identities. Each target has several minor main missions assigned, in which your goal is to find clues about the enemy's identity. These missions are represented by small icons around the target's portrait, and each of them also has a recommended level. After completing all these missions, you will gain enough information to identify the target. This unlocks the assassination mission that ends a given storyline.

How to use scouts?

Occasionally, instead of a specific task location, you will receive a few general directions, e.g. a region or NPCs living nearby. In that case, you will have to conduct reconnaissance to determine the exact location. The scouts, of which you have several at your disposal, will do it for you. You can send them to specific areas - the more scouts you send to one area, the more thoroughly they will investigate it. If you are completely unaware of the target's location, send scouts to various places to reduce the search area as quickly as possible. When you narrow down the area enough, send several scouts at once to pin down the target.
