Mission 2 - Nakasendo Road | Walkthrough Shadow Tactics Guide

Last update: 02 January 2017

Hayato has to intercept and destroy an illegal weapon transport on the Nakasendo Road. He decides that eliminating the officers will be the best way to disrupt the convoy. There are six officers on the map, but you only have to eliminate four of them (1). When you have completed your objective, Hayato has to hide in the bushes, in the upper right corner of the map (2). During the mission, you receive access to a new hero - Yuki (3).

There are two enemies before you - a guard, and a soldier digging through the bushes. Kill the first one with a shuriken when the second enemy looks the other way. Get the other one with the sword and go on. You will encounter Yuki, who will join your group.

The enemy on the left searches for Yuki - eliminate him. Then, plant a trap on the corner of the rocks nearby and lure the enemy with the flute. Approach the bushes in front of you. Place a trap before them, and lure the enemy to the location behind the trap. The enemy always approaches the source of the sound, but does not step exactly in the location where you had played. Move through carts to a rock ledge, and throw a stone at the ox. You will cause an accident, eliminating first target in progress.

When the situation calms down, jump in to the river and swim to its upper parts. As Hayato, approach the cliff, and use vines to climb it. When a guard approaches the ledge, eliminate him and carry his body to the bushes. Now sneak behind the wagons, and remove one of the chests. Wait until the guard approaches the officer - now remove another one. You will create another accident. Wait until everybody returns to their duties. When the third target is standing between the rocks and the camp exit, throw a stone to distract him and throw a shuriken. Move Yuki to the destroyed wagon, and lead both characters to the assembly point.

Kill the enemy whose patrol route stretches from the bridge to the northernmost point of the map. Hide in a small bush left from the statue. When the officer steps away from the guard, approach the edge of his field of vision, and throw a stone behind him. Use the opening to sneak behind the officer, who will approach the figurine. Stop in the bushes. To eliminate the last officer, either use a shuriken, or send Yuki to attack him directly. When the last target is dealt with, the mission will conclude with a cut-scene.

Badges and achievements

Kill all of the officers. There are 6 of them on the map. One is on the bridge, behind the mule. Two are near the convoy in the lower left part of the map. The next one is below the cart blocked by the crates. The fifth one is in the gorge where some of the enemies are resting (upper left corner). The last one is walking near the bushes from where Hayato has to shoot the flare.

Kill 2 people by using a big boulder. You can get enemies' attention by playing the flute - order Yuki to stand near the boulder and use her ability. You can also leave a body and wait for the enemies.

Kill 2 people by using a cart. You must move two crates that are blocking the cart. After that it will roll over the enemies. First, move only one crate. Wait for the patrolling soldier to join the officer and then remove the second.

Do not kill any civilians. There are a few civilians on this map, you should stun them if it is necessary. You can throw the civilians, that are near the bridge, on the stone ledges. When they wake up they won't go anywhere because they can't use vines to go down.

Use a mule to kill 3 people. Go on the ledge where there is an officer standing behind the mule. Throw a stone at the animal - it will eliminate the first enemy. The next ones will come to check the situation. Throw a stone again when the next enemy is in the right distance.
