To begin your journey in the latest Assassin’s Creed expansion, certain prerequisites must be met. Dedicated players may need to invest significant effort before diving into this fresh narrative.
Initiating the Claws of Awaji Expansion

‘Claws of Awaji’ serves as a culmination of your efforts, tailored for committed players. Initiating this content requires accomplishing several key objectives: finalizing the Shinbakufu task list, completing specific character missions for Naoe, Yasuke, and Junjiro, and concluding the ‘Out of the Shadows’ mission.
Verify your progress via the Objective interface. The ‘Out of the Shadows’ mission becomes accessible only after all individual character arcs are resolved. The required missions include:
- Naoe – The Meaning of the Blade
- Yasuke – End of the Line
- Junjiro – Leaving a Mark
After fulfilling these requirements, return to your headquarters and engage with Tomiko to activate the concluding preparatory task. Upon completion, a new interaction point will appear near the entrance rock formation. This encounter leads to an introductory cinematic performance, commencing your expanded gameplay experience.
