There are two ways to approach the target and eliminate the guard rather easily(3).

An alternative is to add poison to his tea.

It’s best to eliminate as many opponents as possible in advance.

PC

Take your team through the village and eliminate incoming opponents and civilians.

The house by the stairs is protected by a single guard (a straw hat).

Wait for the civilian to enter the building and the guard above to turn away.

PC

Deal with the civilian as soon as he exits the house and hide the body.

Move the party to the middle part of the stairs.

Now your major concern is the watchman from the watchtower.

PC

It may be tempting to use the sniper rifle but it’s better to save the bullets for later.

Move Kuma to the right side, next to a tree, and lure the opponent.

Now eliminate the civilian and the guard by the well (one by one).

PC

It should be easy for Takuma to lure two more enemies by a large bush.

Now focus on the guard by the warehouse.

This will be considered an accident, but some enemies will start looking around and can call backup.

PC

Now it’s crucial that you deal with the samurai.Takuma should climb the wooden watchtower.

Now Hayato or Yuki should stand by the stairs, to make it climb the vines quickly.

Take the shoot, and make your ninja rapidly approach him from behind and finish the job.

PlayStation

you’re able to now walk through the gate without hesitation.

Use a musket to take him down(1).

Now swim Hayato/Yuki to the island.

Xbox

Reach the bushes by a large tree.

There is guard that you will kill once another one ends patrolling this area(2).

Wait for him to come back and deal with him(3).

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun

Now climb the tower and eliminate the soldier(4).

There is one more soldier (by the tower) that needs to be taken care of.

Stop him between two poles on the island.

Now eliminate the two remaining straw hats.

Place Takuma in the tower, and swim Hayato to a passage near the dogs' pen.

Kill the guard near the water(1).

An alternative would be to shoot the other guard (he patrols the roof)(2).

Wait for Yabu - he will be walking near the pen.

Head for the land(3).

Lord Yabu should approach the dog close enough, for your sniper to eliminate(4).

The map will fill with guards in a matter of moments.

Use pistols, grenades or Takuma’s shotgun to make your way through them.

The closer you were to the gate, the less enemies you will have to defeat.

Now wait for the right moment to sneak up to the bush by the gate(3).

Throw some rocks to distract the guards and go through the gate.

If you were smart enough to flush the area of guard, you won’t encounter any additional obstacles.

Poison the tea and leave the palace before Lord Yabu drinks it.

He is the slowest, while others can run very fast.

Kill Lord Yabu without using the poison or Takuma’s riffle.

you could do this by attacking him in hand-to-hand combat or using Takuma’s grenades.

The second option is better but you have to clean the access to the mansion from the enemies.

Other options, i.e.

Using this option will also complete another achievement -Do not enter the water.

pull up the highest place in Lord Yabu’s area.

It is the roof of the building which Lord Yabu leaves and enters.

you might get there from the front using the hook.
