How to Start Thrown to the Dogs in Assassin's Creed Shadows
If you've pre-ordered Assassin's Creed Shadows, you'll have the opportunity to embark on a special quest called Thrown to the Dogs. This quest becomes available once you take control of Naoe and gain access to the open world for the first time.
To begin, follow the quest marker on your map to locate a dog. Follow the dog to a farm where you'll need to find a key hidden underneath a house. After retrieving the key, return to the grave site where you initially found the dog. Completing these steps will not only mark the quest as completed but also allow you to befriend the dog.
If you're struggling to find the key, keep an eye out for a small crawlspace at the bottom of the house. Naoe can go prone and crawl through this space to retrieve the key. It's a bit tricky to spot, so take your time.
Assassin's Creed Shadows Preorder Bonuses
Upon successfully completing Thrown to the Dogs, you'll unlock your pre-order bonuses, which include:
- Tsuki-maru as a pet at the Hideout
- 1,000 XP
While the bonuses may seem modest, they offer unique advantages. Tsuki-maru adds a charming touch to your Hideout, and the 1,000 XP boost is substantial for the early stages of the game. This XP can translate into a few Mastery Points, giving you the flexibility to experiment with different skills. Remember, though, you'll need to rank up your Knowledge to unlock more advanced abilities.
And that's how you redeem your pre-order bonuses in Assassin's Creed Shadows. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including what happens when you climb the torii gate and a complete list of all main quests, be sure to visit The Escapist.
