How to navigate the Azuchi Hyotanyama Kofun and get the Heartspiller Legendary Bow in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
How to access the Kofun
Azuchi Hyotanyama Kofun is located near the eastern border of Omi, in the Suzuka Foothills. The entrance is from the hole in the ground at the top of the small hill. What you will likely see first, is the exit from the Kofun, on the west side.
Azuchi Hyotanyama Kofun Walkthrough
There are three optional treasure chests with gear. The big one at the end grants the Legendary Bow Heartspiller.
The first thing that you’ll notice is an exploding barrel on the ground. There’s a chest behind the rocks that blocks the path but right ahead of you an enemy is standing guard.
It doesn’t matter if you loot the chest or kill the enemy first. The door ahead is barred from the other side, just run over it.
There’s a room that leads to two different areas, but going right ahead is impossible because Yasuke will slip. Head to the right and continue walking until you are in a small chamber that has a wooden crate on the lower floor.
What you have to do here is very simple, just move the wooden crate as close as possible to the edge. Get on top of it and head to the next area.
You are going to see another wooden crate, the exit, and a chest in a corner above ground level. Place the wooden crate exactly in front of the exit, get on top of it, and jump to get the chest. If Yasuke can’t reach it make the required adjustments.
Two enemies are waiting in the next area. They are on the weaker side so there’s no need to be particularly careful. Follow the stairs, you will see two exploding barrels and a few meters ahead more wooden crates on the lower level.
Don’t grab the barrel yet. Move the bigger crate as close to your current position. The idea is to use both as platforms in order to get to the other side while carrying the barrels.
Now you can pick the exploding barrel and get to the other side.
The next room has a wooden crate and an exploding barrel that will clear the rocks blocking a chest. Drop the barrel you are currently carrying, shoot the barrel that’s below, loot the chest, and move the wooden crate to the middle of the room.
Return to the upper level, grab the barrel, and jump on the wooden crate. Launch the crate to the other side and shoot it to clear the path.
There are three enemies around the corner. Two are standard ones but the third is a big Samurai with a Kanabo. Avoid getting cornered and focus on one at a time to prevent getting overwhelmed.
This leads to the final part of the Kofun, which has the legendary chest that contains the Legendary Bow Heartspiller.
