Our first Samurai Daisho here is the most mobile of the lot. This one patrols around the main keep in the middle of the Osaka Castle area. He should be easy to spot if you’re patient, however. Also, he usually stops near one of the hay piles you can dive into from the Osaka Castle Viewpoint, which is very convenient for assassinating him!
For the second Samurai Daisho, go to the southwestern part of Osaka Castle. He likes to patrol along the castle’s outer wall. Thankfully, there aren’t many other guards in his route, so he’s easy to take out.
Now, for the last one, go to the construction area on the southeastern corner of Osaka Castle. You’ll usually find him standing still between some of the scaffolding, as shown above. He doesn’t seem to patrol much, but there are other guards around him. Be careful not to be spotted if you wish to avoid combat.
Nonetheless, that’s all 3 Samurai Daisho locations within Osaka Castle in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Taking all of them down will earn you 1 Mastery Point for Naoe and Yasuke.
