Mission 10 - Mount Tsuru (Prison) | Walkthrough Shadow Tactics Guide

Last update: 02 January 2017

A tough challenge lies before you - you must escape from prison and find Mugen. Hayato, Yuki and Takuma start the mission in prison strapped off their gear (1). Mugen is outside the prison area (2). Your next objective is to take the entire team off the Mount Tsuru (3). You can reclaim most of your items by collecting them from different places or taking back from specific opponents.

First, summon Kuma - the animal will bring you bullets for the musket. Wait until the samurai patrolling the area visits Yuki, and shoot the line over her cage. Take Yuki on the shelf where Takuma's cage is and wait for the samurai in the tunnel. When he checks up on Takuma, run up and pick up your dagger (1). Now, the samurai is leaving. Shoot him with the musket and let Yuki quickly run up to the enemy and finish him, then throw down his body from a cliff (2). Next, use Kuma again to lure the two opponents toward the ladder. Let Yuki and Hayato eliminate the danger at the same time (4).

Press on until you encounter a single straw hat. Set Hayato on the edge of his field of full view. When he turns around, run up and eliminate him. There is a lever hidden in the bird figure next to him. Go through the tunnel and then climb up. Now, set a trap and come out from the corner to lure the enemy into the trap. Do the same with the civilian who is roaming about. Lure the enemy from the arbor using footprints and eliminate him too.

There is another statue with a hidden lever and some vines in front of the arbor. Position Takuma so that this area was within the range of his musket. Now, walk around as Yuki, so to leave footprints within the samurai's field of vision. When he starts running toward you, climb up the vines. Now, take a shot from Takuma's musket and finish him off with Yuki's knife. Next, go to where the samurai was standing before, and send Kuma behind Aiko's guards, but outside the field of vision of other enemies. Use the passage to free your companion and take the tunnel back to the rest of the team.

Next, walk down the path and let Hayoto jump down to the lower shelf, so that he could sneak up to the straw hat from behind. Don't eliminate him just yet, but lure the guard nearby with footprints. When he starts running toward you, jump down and finish him when he is close, then throw the body off the cliff. Do the same with all of them, one by one, and only then eliminate the straw hat by the wagon. You can take down the guard on the balcony by climbing up the vines behind the building, jumping down under the balcony and going upstairs using the door. Now your team can arm themselves with pistols.

Right where the pistols were, there is a huge rock that you can throw down. Set Kuma under the wall, so to lure opponents to this spot, and then throw the rock on the enemies. Watch out for Kuma - if you hit the animal with the rock, you won't be able to use it for the rest of the mission. When another enemy approaches in order to check the bodies, jump down on him as Yuki and reclaim the trap. Now, use footprints/Kuma/floot to lure the remaining opponents and eliminate them. When there is only the samurai left, shoot him with a pistol (save the musket for now) and take him from behind as Yuki/Aiko. Don't forget to grab Aiko's disguise. Take the entire team through the gate to Mugen and watch the cut-scene (it cannot be skipped).

Take your entire team down the stairs and send Aiko wearing a disguise forward. Let her eliminate the guard who approaches the building. The rest should take care of the straw hats. Stop in the middle of the bridge. May Aiko go on with her disguise, go through the gate and eliminate enemies one by one starting from the highest point in the area. Once this is done, go back to the gate and distract the only guard watching the bridge (not to count the patrol). When the path is clear, quickly take the rest of the group across the bridge and through the gate. Let Hayato reclaim his equipment. Now, let everyone should go through the last tunnel.

Aiko should come out right when the samurai turns away. Send her behind the building and drop the disguise. Leave some footprints so to lure the opponent behind the rock, while avoiding detection. Then, eliminate the straw hat and put on the disguise. Let everyone else, except Takuma, go out. He should stand on the hanging bridge and take aim at the samurai. When the rest is ready, take a shot and let the rest of the team eliminate the danger. Next, use footprints to lure the two-men patrol near the path toward the tunnel's exit (use the trap or shuriken, also keep Aiko close in order to control the situation). Let the entire team gather up in front of the house. Disguised Aiko must eliminate the enemy under the bridge, where he is guarding a group of civilians. Now, take down the straw hat when the samurai isn't looking, and then the opponent who is about to execute the civilians behind the wagon under the wall. Next, let the entire group sneak along the ledge past the samurai - use stones and sneezing powder to make this easier.

Badges and achievements

Do not summon Kuma. You can't use the animal throughout the whole mission. Also, he won't bring you extra ammunition for riffle which means that Yuki will not be first to be set free. But if you summon tanuki you can free her before Hayato (shoot the rope above her cage). Thanks to that you will complete another achievement - Yuki escapes first. Then, she can free Takuma.

If you want to escape as Hayato first you must hide in the bushes. When a samurai runs in and notes that you have escaped he will leave the doors open. Use the roofs to get to your companions. This achievement is harder to do because the samurai will raise the alarm which can be avoided by escaping as Yuki first.
