Unlocking Your Assassin's Creed Shadows Pre-Order Bonuses

If you pre-ordered Assassin's Creed Shadows, you'll receive some exclusive in-game rewards. Here's how to claim them:

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

The pre-order bonuses are tied to a quest called "Thrown to the Dogs." This quest becomes available 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 nearby farm. You'll need to find a key hidden under a house. Once you retrieve the key, return to the dog's initial location. After completing these steps, you'll befriend the dog and the quest will be complete.

Hint: The key is located in a small crawlspace under the house. Naoe can crawl into this space 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 rewards:

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

While these rewards might seem modest—Tsuki-maru is primarily a cute companion—the 1,000 XP is a significant early-game boost, providing several Mastery Points. Remember, you still need to level up your Knowledge to unlock additional 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.
