This Kofun’s entrance has been blocked off completely by some rubble. To be able to enter it, you’ll need to figure out a way to clear the rubble. An easy way is to simply blow it up, but you need to know how to do that properly!
In this guide, we’ll tell you everything you need to get into the Makino Kurumazuka Kofun.

Once you get to the Kofun’s location on the map, you should notice that there’s a red explosive barrel outside. Approach it as Yasuke and you’ll be able to pick it up and carry it. Naoe can’t do that, which is why you needed Yasuke here!
While carrying the barrel, go down the stairs to approach the Kofun’s entrance. As you might’ve noticed before, it’s blocked off by rubble. Let’s fix that, yeah?
Throw the explosive barrel in front of the rubble and then shoot it with either a Teppo or a Bow. It will detonate the barrel, destroy the rubble, and allow you to get into the Kofun!
So, there you have it, that’s how to get into the Makino Kurumazuka Kofun in AC Shadows. This Kofun has some more pathways blocked by rubble, just like this one. The process is pretty much the same for those too: carry an explosive barrel next to the rubble and detonate it to clear a path!
