Taking down the formidable Wada Koretake won’t be an easy task, so gathering a few allies is essential. One key NPC, Mitsumune, can assist you in this fight, but you must find him first. Discover how to locate Mitsumune at Nunobiki Falls in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Where to Find Mitsumune in the Stolen Faith Quest – AC Shadows
To reach Nunobiki Falls in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, head west of Izumi Settsu. Here, you’ll come across the Amagasaki fast travel point, situated to the left of Katano Foothills.

Head north from Amagasaki to get nearer to Mitsumune’s location, and you’ll soon discover Nunobiki Falls. Naoe will also notify you as you approach.

At the base of Nunobiki Falls, you will encounter Mitsumune, who is busy washing clothes. While Naoe will attempt to persuade him to assist in the battle against Wada Koretake, Mitsumune will only agree if you return a stolen statue.

How to Retrieve the Stolen Statue in the Stolen Faith Quest – AC Shadows
While at the falls, look to your right towards Senri Hills. Move towards the water to find the Toneyama Post Town. Be cautious, as you may need to battle several enemies, including a mini-boss guarding the statue. Expect a challenging fight; check our Naoe weapon tier list for strategies to defeat these foes quickly.

The statue can be found inside a building in the center of Toneyama Post Town. Use your aim to locate the blue marker indicating its position. Be sure to loot the accompanying chests, which often yield rewards such as the Vigilant Katana of Bravery and the Shrouded Shinobi Robes. Nearby, there’s also a location for smuggling resources, so enlist your Scouts for Hideout enhancements.

Return to Mitsumune at Nunobiki Falls to hand over the statue. He will express his gratitude, but he doubts whether his men are prepared for further conflict. When Mitsumune asks if you’re ready for this brutal outcome, you can choose either ‘I am ready’ or ‘I’m uncertain.’ Both responses yield the same results. You’ll gain +1,000 XP and Mitsumune’s assistance in the upcoming showdown against Wada Koretake, which will introduce you to a new recruit, Yaya, further expanding your AC: Shadows team.
