Hidden around the landscape of Assassin’s Creed Shadows you find mysterious Kofun, long-forgotten tombs stuffed with plunder and unique and powerful items to add to your burgeoning collection.

Each Kofun has its own tricky puzzle to solve, often with its own unique mechanic. These can be returning mechanics from previous Assassin’s Creed games like sliding box puzzles, or a different challenge that can only be completed with either Naoe or Yasuke’s specialized skillset.

Either way, puzzle fans and treasure hunters alike will want to track down all of the Kofun across the map, if not just for the Legendary equipment, but for the useful Knowledge Points and XP bonuses they offer.

Here’s where to find every Kofun in Assassin’s Creed Shadows so you can claim their riches for yourself - they’re not using them anyway!
