In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the mission titled "The Rengakai" takes place in the Omi region and is unlocked after completing the previous quest, “Lady of Whispers.” This is the 41st main quest in the game and is recommended for players who are at least level 24. The story follows protagonists Naoe and Yasuke as they investigate rumors of an imminent threat to Hashiba Hideyoshi’s allies in Harima. The mission kicks off when the player travels east from Agamasaki to Himeji Castle, where they meet a poetic renga master standing near the bridge leading into the castle. After speaking with him, the player must follow the renga master inside the castle, though the game’s auto-follow may temporarily stall and require manual movement.

Once inside, players are introduced to a young boy named Ukita Hideie. A series of dialogue choices are presented during interactions, such as “Tell me what to do” or “Mitsuhide must die,” but these do not affect the outcome of the mission. As the tension builds, the mission escalates into a combat encounter where four attackers ambush the group. A temporary ally joins the fight, helping the player handle the enemies. After the battle concludes, the player is given the option to continue the mission as either Yasuke or Naoe, depending on their preferred playstyle.

Completing “The Rengakai” earns the player 1,000 XP and pushes the narrative forward, unlocking subsequent quests such as “Losing Hand” and “The Scent of War.” The mission blends investigation, narrative depth, and combat, offering a cinematic and action-packed segment in the evolving story of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the mission titled "The Scent of War" is the 43rd main quest and takes place in the Harima region. It becomes available after completing “The Rengakai” and is recommended for players at level 24 or higher. The mission follows protagonists Naoe and Yasuke as they investigate rising tensions and potential threats against Hashiba Hideyoshi’s allies. The quest begins with a meeting at the Old Port of Aga, where the player speaks with Konishi Yukinaga. During the conversation, players are offered dialogue options like “Are you with them?” and “Is something threatening you?”, though these choices do not impact the mission’s outcome.

After the meeting, players head to the Port of Aga and confront a group of shady merchants. Depending on the player's approach, this can lead to immediate combat or a tense negotiation that might still result in a fight. The investigation then leads to the nearby Aga Hontokuji Temple. There, players must gather three key pieces of evidence: a Map of Western Harima, located in the main temple building accessed from the south gate; Incense and Gunpowder, found in a smaller structure guarded by an enemy south of the temple; and a Delivery Invoice, hidden in a room to the west, guarded by a seated man inside.

Once all three clues are collected, the player returns to Konishi Yukinaga at the Old Port of Aga to report the findings. Completing “The Scent of War” grants 1,000 XP and advances the overarching storyline, unlocking future missions such as “A Peculiar Guest” and “Spring and Fall.” The quest combines exploration, stealth, and combat, further deepening the conflict surrounding the game’s main narrative.
