After completing the prologue missions in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you’ll unlock a new tab in your menu for objectives. This is where your missions and side missions are housed. When this screen unlocks, the Thrown to the Dogs quest will be added to your available objectives, under the People of Settsu subsection.
Ichiro’s grave
How to find the dog¶
You can find the dog by tracking the Thrown to the Dogs quest and heading to the area highlighted on your map, near the Tennoji Temple. You’ll pass through the Katano Oil Trading area, and keep heading south. The quest marker will bring you to a large open field, but don’t waste too much time searching here as the dog is slightly hidden.
Instead, head closer to Tennoji Temple and follow the path around to the left. Follow the cherry blossoms to an area that overlooks the field you initially ended up in. Here, you’ll spot the dog, Tsuki-maru, mourning at his owner Ichiro’s grave, badly injured. After petting him, you’ll have to follow him to a nearby farm.
Following Tsuki-maru to the farm
Which choice to make¶
Following Tsuki-maru to the farm will have you interact with Takako - his owner’s sister-in-law. She explains that prior to his death, Ichiro gave the dog a key to his estate. She and her guards retrieved the key from the dog, and judging by his injuries, they weren’t very soft about it. Here, you’ll get two dialogue options. Choose the option that tells Takako to leave the dog alone and she will respond by telling you the key to the estate is yours if you can find it, before fleeing.
The key location is underneath the floorboards of a building on the farm
How to find the key¶
After Takako flees, Tsuki-maru will help you sniff out the key. Unfortunately, you’ll have to dig out a few not very valuable belongings before finding the key. By using the ‘view’ option, you will see a gap under the floorboards of a nearby building. Go prone and crawl underneath to find the key.

Take the key back to Ichiro’s burial site, where you’ll find a box. Unlocking the box will give you Ichiro’s letter, which explains that his brother and sister-in-law are responsible for his death. You’ll be rewarded with 1000XP and Tsuki-maru will head to your homestead to recover before acting as your guard dog.
