Mission 9 - Kage-sama's Camp | Walkthrough Shadow Tactics Guide

Last update: 02 January 2017

Your next task is to capture/kill Kage-sama himself. Initially, your team is split. Mugen, Hayato and Yuki start in the north (1), while Aiko and Takuma in the south (2). Note that Takuma is unable to relocate for the entire mission. The upper part of the team will do the main work. You target is in the middle of the camp in the map's center (3). Making your way through the outer defenses is not as challenging as entering the actual camp.

First, use the moment when the guards turn around and send Hayato and Mugen behind the tent. Now place a bottle of sake between the tent and the well, as close to the wall as possible (1). The first guard will be lured to it and approach you. Eliminate him and hide the body behind the tent. Likewise, toss the bottle of sake a bit farther, over the bamboo gate (2). The other guard will approach it, so you can take him out and get rid of the straw hat right away. Next, approach the wall a bit farther from the tent. Now, you are going to lure a three-men patrol. Place a bottle of sake in the tight spot between the rock and the wall (3). The patrol will approach no farther. Just when the guard is bending down to pick up the bottle, throw Hayato's stone. Now let Mugen step in and take down the entire group.

Use Yuka's abilities and lure the guard by the jungle behind the big rock. Set a trap in that exact spot and hide Yuka on the other side of the rock (1). Once the guard is eliminated, let Hayoto sneak up to the vines on the other side, moving just along the line of sight of the guard patrolling this area (2). Choose the right moment to climb up and take down the straw hat. Then stand behind the other one and throw a rock next to the guard below (3). Now take down the straw hat and the enemy below. Carry his corpse somewhere farther or use Mugen to throw it on the shelf where Hayato was a couple of moments back.

Now, proceed to the right. Here, you will encounter a patrol. First, eliminate the enemy who is standing on the shelf in front of the vines when no one is looking (1). Then rotate the camera so to have the camp on your right. Down there, place the bottle of sake between the rock and the wall (2), let Mugen back away. Keep Yuki and Hayato close in the corner so they may be able to come with help, if needed. When one of the opponents picks up the bottle, use the flute (3). When the opponent is coming out from the wall's corner, take him down using a trap/shuriken/sword. Hide the body and repeat these steps until you eliminate all guards in this area. Let the straw hat by the civilians be. Rotate the camera to the right so to have the camp in front of you. Now, sneak behind the two straw hats guarding the camp entrance. Sneak past them, one character at a time - this way it is easier. First, let Hayato stand behind the rock in front of them and throw a stone behind the guard on the left next to the tent (4). Run up behind the straw hat on the right. Help Mugen and Yuki sneak past them in a similar way. Stand by the wooden wall and watch out for pools.

Switch to Takuma and use the sniper rifle to take down two guards on the towers. Now, go back to your team by the camp. There are many ways to lure the guards, but it is a good idea to lure them one by one using the bottle of sake (1). Do it with each guard, one by one, but stop for a moment when an enemy patrol led by a samurai draws near or when a guard from the second entrance on the opposite takes a look at the entrance. When the area inside the camp is clear, except for the two guards by the fire, wait for the patrol and toss the bottle of sake in front of your main target (2). When a guard bends down to pick up the bottle, use Mugen's two swords to eliminate all three. Now pick up Kage-sama's body and carry it with you outside the camp.

Badges and achievements

Hide your enemies' bodies. It is more time-consuming than difficult because in the first part of the map the upper group (Mugen, Hayato and Yuki) do not have any access to such places. Then, you will have to move all of the bodies to the nearest bushes/buildings.

Kill 3 enemies using a grenade. Takuma can't leave his location which means that you will have to lure the enemies as close to him as possible. You can get the enemies to chase you or leave a body in a place that is the closest to Takuma to lure soldiers.

Knock-out Kage-sama. Instead of killing him, knock him out. You still have to carry his body from the camp. You can do this in the first run of this mission.
