Starting the Thrown to the Dogs Quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

If you pre-ordered Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you’ll unlock a quest called Thrown to the Dogs. This mission opens up once you control Naoe and enter the open world for the first time.

Track the quest marker on your map to locate a dog, then follow it to a farm. Search for a key hidden beneath a house and return to the dog’s starting point at the grave site. Completing these steps will make the dog your ally and finish the quest.

If you’re struggling to find the key, check for a small crawlspace under the house. Naoe can go prone to slip inside and retrieve it. This spot is easy to overlook, so take your time to spot it.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Preorder Rewards

After completing Thrown to the Dogs, you’ll unlock the following pre-order bonuses:

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

While the bonuses may seem modest, they have their perks. Tsuki-maru is a charming addition to the Hideout, though it serves no practical purpose. The 1,000 XP is a solid boost early on, granting a few Mastery Points to enhance your abilities. You’ll still need to increase your Knowledge rank to unlock more skills, but that’s the extent of the rewards.

That’s how to claim your pre-order bonuses in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Visit The Escapist for more game tips, including what happens when you climb the torii gate and a complete list of main quests.
