Our Assassin’s Creed Shadows guide will tell you how to find all members of The Twisted Tree for “The Twisted Tree” and tell you the rewards you get for each.
“The Twisted Tree” is a quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows that you’ll pick up in Yamashiro. It’s technically part of the lead-up to The Fool on the Shinbakufu Objectives board, but it gets its own assassination tracker once you start it.
You’ll meet a man named Ujimasa who can help you infiltrate Yamazaki Castle. First, though, you’ll have to deal with the Takahashi clan, a family of ronin causing problems around Kyoto.

To start “The Twisted Tree,” you actually have to start a different quest first. Under The Fool on the Shinbakufu Objectives board, one of the quests is called, “Inside Help.” That’s your starting point.
“Inside Help” will send you to Kiyomizudera Temple to the southwest of the Hills of Meeting (and southeast of Kyoto) in central Yamashiro to find a man named Ujimasa.
You’ll find him at the southern entrance to the temple, pretending to be a tour guide. Choose whichever of the waters you would like to drink (the choice isn’t important) and he’ll tell you about the Takahashi clan, a family of rogue samurai harassing people in and around Kyoto. He’ll also tell you where to start hunting them.
Each member of The Twisted Tree has their own quest find them and another to assassinate them. Two of the Takahashi clan can be spared. We’ll walk you through all the quests and point out who you can spare below.Table of ContentsHow to find Takahashi clan’s locations
There’s a bit of work (and five side quests) to do so you can find the exact locations of the seven Takahashi members. We’ll get into more detail about each quest below, but at a glance, the quests are listed below, with corresponding locations on the map above:
You’ll start with “Help Needed,” a quest under Takahashi Taro. You’ll find the merchant you need to talk to in central Kyoto, west of Nijo Palace and near an umbrella cart.
He’s about a block west of the Nijo Palace viewpoint and is standing, as promised, next to some colorful umbrellas. Speak to Yamana Kihei and he’ll tell you about the Takahashi clan and its twisted (family) tree. This will also fill out your Objectives board, but the locations of each target will still be vague. He’ll point you to the Takahashi family guard.
Your next stop is part of “Guard Assignments” under Takahashi Jiro.
