In Assassin's Creed Shadows, the Silver Smugglers are a ruthless criminal ring exploiting the chaos after Oda Nobunaga’s death. Their smuggling network spreads across Tamba and Wakasa, and it’s up to Naoe and Yasuke to take them down in the Silver and Teppo side quest. If you're hunting these elusive targets, we’ve got you covered with all Silver Smuggler locations in AC Shadows, their rewards, and how to complete this mission.
How to Start the Silver Smugglers Quest in AC Shadows
The Silver Smugglers quest begins just south of Miyazu Bay in Tamba. However, you’ll need to reach at least level 30 before this area becomes accessible. Once you enter Tamba’s northwestern region, you’ll encounter Hosokawa Fujitaka, who will send you on a mission to eliminate the smugglers and dismantle their network.
