If there’s one thing that Ubisoft does well with their multitude of franchises, it’s creating dense environments filled with exploration. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is no different, as the vast world the studio has created is ripe for adventure. Whether it’s the various unique enemies you’ll come across on your adventures or investigating reported Yokai in the area, there feels like an overwhelming amount of content to dig your teeth into.
One such activity is participating in the numerous temples and shrines. Japan is a country of tradition and religion, at least back in the 1500s when Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes place. If you’ve ever been to the country, you’ll know that the number of temples and shrines feels infinite, and in Shadows, it’s well represented with some of the most iconic structures in the Kansai region.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Makinoodera Temple Guide
Part of the Izumi Settsu region, find all Lost Pages in Assassin’s Creed Shadow’s Makinoodera Temple.
Purpose of Temples & Shrines
With each of the temples and shrines, there will either be Lost Pages that need collecting or shrines that need to be prayed to. Doing so will unlock a good amount of EXP along with a Knowledge point that can be used to upgrade Nao and Yasuke. Some of these locations have surprisingly well-hidden collectibles, but with this guide you’ll have no problem finding them.
The Nishinomiya Shrine is located at the northwest corner of the Izumi Settsu region of Japan. It is directly west of Amagasaki.
Shrine Locations
There are no shrines to be honored near the direct entrance of Nishinomiya Shrine, but they are all fairly close to one another. Continue into the shrine until you come across a small piece of land in the middle of a pond. This is the first of three shrines to be honored.
The second shrine is the big one of Nishinomiya. This one is located in the main building across from the pond. It’s very hard to miss, but all you really need to do is go up a small flight of stairs and receive your blessing.
The third and final shrine to honor is on the opposite side of the pond. Head down from the main structure and make your away around the pond to find a small shrine on the western part of Nishinomiya.
Review: Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Is Assassin’s Creed Shadows the hail mary Assassin’s Creed and Ubisoft needed, or should this game have stayed in the shadows?
