How to get the quest A Collection of Crests
A former scribe of Oda Nobunaga, Ota Gyuichi, requires Yasuke’s help with collecting the various crests or “Kamon” throughout the land.
To get the quest related to the Kamon, go to the southern half of Kyoto in the Yamashiro region. It’ll be slightly southeast of Honnoji Temple and northeast of Toji Temple.
Talk to the man inside the house as Yasuke to start the quest A Collection of Crests. You’ll need to find 9 different kamon with the crests of various clans. This will be found in various regions, so you’ll need to reach at least level 35 to collect them all.
All 9 Kamon Locations
A dead giveaway of a kamon is not only the banner icon that appears nearby, but these wooden crates that are in the way. Only Yasuke can push them out of the way as Naoe lacks the strength to do so.
It doesn’t matter in what order you find and pick up the crests. You can bring them one by one back to Ota Gyuichi or get them all and then return to hand them together and complete the quest.
