Assassin’s Creed Shadows Horse Archery Locations

Assassin’s Creed Shadows offers a diverse range of activities, and Horse Archery is a unique and engaging one. This guide details how to find and complete Horse Archery challenges in the game, providing a comprehensive overview for players looking to master this skill.

How to Look for Horse Archery Locations

Horse Archery locations aren’t random encounters. They are specifically tied to certain areas, and only available to Yasuke. While exploring, look for a special marker on the map. Initially, it’s a white square with a question mark. As you get closer to the location, the marker changes to a distinct Horse Archery icon. Knowing where to look for these icons is key.

How to Play Horse Archery

Each Horse Archery challenge involves short riding sequences. During these sequences, your goal is to accurately shoot targets while riding. You must hit most or all of the targets to achieve a perfect score and successfully complete the challenge. The number of hits is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Successfully completing these challenges earns knowledge points, experience (XP), and potential new horse designs.
