Step-by-Step Guide to Spirit of A Warrior Walkthrough in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Quest Overview
Eliminate The Igan Shinobi
After the opening cutscene, cross the wooden bridge and you will meet a bunch of Igan Shinobi. These villagers-turned-warriors provide your first challenge in this task.
Combat Strategy:
There are four enemies to beat in this battle.
Use light attacks to quickly reduce them. Yasuke's strength allows him to defeat enemies in three or four hits.
Parry Mechanic:
Look for a glowing white circle surrounding an enemy's weapon.
Tap the defense button to parry at the optimal moment.
A good parry leaves the attacker at risk, as indicated by an orange/yellow glow.
Blocking: Holding the defense button will prevent incoming hits and damage.
Once every enemy have been defeated, cross the bridge to face the next round of attackers.
Defeat the Shinobi leaders

Move toward the burning structure. The first Shinobi Leader waits in the corn fields ahead.
First Shinobi Leader:
This leader is stronger than previous enemies and has two health bars.
He will use his staff to block hits.
Use light attacks to break his stance, then take advantage of the brief opportunity to do damage.
Parrying remains critical in this a duel.
Second Shinobi Leader:
Found further along the dirt trail on the right.
This leader is even harder, with three health bars and a katana.
He can block well, requiring precise parries to weaken him.
Utilize your abilities to get an advantage.
Abilities:
War Kick: Yasuke delivers a powerful kick that knocks opponents away and deals 20% ability damage. (Less effective against larger enemies.)
Power Dash: Yasuke dashes forward, knocking opponents aside. To make the most on this chance, move swiftly.
To activate skills, make sure you have a full adrenaline token (the yellow diamonds above your health bar). Create adrenaline by successfully landing light attacks or parrying against strikes.
Join Oda Nobunaga

After defeating the two Shinobi Leaders, take the dusty trail uphill.
Nobunaga will ride horseback, accompanied by other allies.
Approaching him starts an event in which Nobunaga views Iga's burning remains.
He orders Yasuke to find Momochi Sandayu.
This concludes the objective and unlocks the next quest: Fight of the Kakushiba Ikki.
Final Tips:
To deal well with harder enemies, master the parry method.
Use abilities effectively, especially when facing leaders with several health bars.
Keep an eye on your surroundings for movement opportunities and possible rewards.
