Unlocking your Assassin's Creed Shadows Pre-order Bonuses

If you pre-ordered Assassin's Creed Shadows, you've got some early-game rewards waiting! Here's how to claim them:

How to Start "Thrown to the Dogs" in Assassin's Creed Shadows

The quest "Thrown to the Dogs" unlocks after you gain control of Naoe and access the open world for the first time. Follow the quest marker on your map to locate a dog. Follow the dog to a farm; you'll need to find a key hidden under a house. Return with the key to the dog's initial location to complete the quest and befriend the canine companion.

Hint: The key is located in a small crawlspace under the house. Naoe can crawl in to retrieve it—it's easy to miss!

Your Assassin's Creed Shadows Pre-order Bonuses

Completing "Thrown to the Dogs" unlocks your pre-order bonuses:

• Tsuki-maru as a pet at your Hideout
• 1,000 XP

While these rewards might seem modest (Tsuki-maru is purely cosmetic), the 1,000 XP is a significant boost early in the game, providing several Mastery Points. Remember, you'll still need to increase your Knowledge to unlock more skills.

That's all there is to claiming your pre-order bonuses in Assassin's Creed Shadows. For more Assassin's Creed Shadows guides and tips, including information on the torii gate and a complete main quest list, check out The Escapist!
