How to fully explore the Takagi Kofun in Harima and get the Legendary Teppo Death’s Bloom in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

How to access the Kofun

Takagi Kofun is in Kanki Burned Fields, in Harima. Its entrance is in the middle of the Takagi Otsuka Fort. This means that you have to fight your way in.

The Kofun features movement of wooden crates and carrying explosive barrels. It is meant for Yasuke. Since this will be a hostile zone, you will not be allowed to switch characters or fast travel out of it. Don’t forget to bring a bow or a teppo.

Takagi Kofun Walkthrough

To get in, bring one of the exploding barrels to the rubble at the bottom of the tunnel. There are a couple of barrels on the wooden scaffolding at the top, near the entrance. Place the object on the ground and shoot it to remove the rubble.

At the end of this tunnel, you will reach a room with a few enemies. Take them out. Break the wooden fence on the left side and head that way.

This tunnel ends in a T-section. Take the left first to pick up an optional treasure chest. Then go right to follow the main path.

When you prone and start crawling, look immediately to your left. There is a short passage that leads to the next optional small treasure chest. Then head to the room with the NPC and the sarcophagus.

After you take out this guy, head south through the tunnel. At the next intersection, you will see rubble blocking the path forward, a steep slope on the left and a tunnel to the right. Take the right.

There is an exploding barrel in the room to the right. Bring it back to the blocked path and blow the barrel to unblock the tunnel. In the room on the right, you will encounter a few hostile NPCs.

After the path is clear, head into the tunnel leading south. At the end, prone to pass through the hole in the wall. As soon as you climb the stairs, look to the left (west). There is a tunnel there that will lead you to the next optional treasure chest.

In the next room, you will see a scaffolding in front of you, stone platform on the right, and a large wooden crate on your left. Past the wooden crate, there is a short tunnel on the west side that leads to another small room with another crate in it.

Behind that crate, you will find an exploding barrel. Pick it up and carry it to the previous room with the scaffolding. You need to bring the exploding barrel at the top of the scaffolding.

The intended way is to move the two wooden crates to create a sort of a bridge between the stone platform and the scaffolding. Throw the barrel on top of the scaffolding. Then blow it up.

If you want to make it more fun, you can place the barrel on top of the first crate and move that crate. Keep in mind that the barrel will roll out and fall down easy.

Shortly before you reach the next room, where you will have a few NPCs to take care of, look on the right-hand side. Next to the lit candle, there is a passageway blocked by rubble. You will bring an exploding barrel to it in a moment.

There are two barrels in the room. One is inside the small alcove; the other one is on top of it. The one on the ground respawns, but this might be a bug.

Carry the barrel to the stone rubble to clear the passage and get to the last optional treasure chest in this Kofun.

Back in the room with the scaffolding, on the south wall there is another passage you need to clear by blowing up the rubble. Bring the second barrel to it. This is it. Your path to the final large treasure chest is clear!
