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 chance to embark on a unique quest called Thrown to the Dogs. This quest becomes available as soon as you take control of Naoe and explore the open world for the first time.

To begin, follow the quest marker on your map to locate a dog, then trail it to a nearby farm. Your next task is to find a key hidden underneath a house. After securing the key, return to the grave site where you initially found the dog. Completing these steps will not only befriend you with the dog but also mark the quest as finished.

If you struggle to find the key, keep an eye out for a small crawlspace at the base of the house. Naoe can go prone and crawl inside to retrieve it. It might be tricky to spot, so take your time.

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 have their merits. Tsuki-maru adds a charming presence to your Hideout, enhancing the atmosphere. Moreover, the 1,000 XP is a significant boost for the early game, providing you with enough Mastery Points to experiment with new skills. Remember, to fully utilize these points, you'll need to increase your Knowledge level to unlock additional abilities.

And that’s how to redeem your pre-order bonuses in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including insights on climbing the torii gate and a comprehensive list of all main quests, be sure to visit The Escapist.
