In the latest installment of the Assassin’s Creed saga, titled Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players have the opportunity to explore feudal Japan while using mons, the currency of the time, to acquire materials and upgrade their gear. Obtaining mons is done by defeating enemies such as Shogunate soldiers and bandits, although not all enemies will drop this currency. However, most will, allowing players to collect small amounts of mons by looting fallen enemies.
Money doesn’t bring happiness, but mons might
Once the hideout and the expansion of the Kakurega are unlocked, players can accept missions that offer rewards in mons. These missions are renewed each season and provide the opportunity to receive additional rewards, including resources to upgrade the hideout and experience. For those looking for a more lucrative way to earn money, accepting and completing these missions stands out as an effective strategy, especially if the character’s level is adjusted to match the requirement for the mission.
Although direct NPC theft is not an option in the game, players can use observation mode to track hidden chests in the environment. Additionally, as players send scouts to explore new areas, there is a possibility that they will return with mons collected during their missions. This resource can be found in a chest in the stable of the hideout, providing an additional method to increase wealth.
With around 50 hours of gameplay, many players have shared the experience that it will be difficult to return to other titles in the saga after enjoying Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The combination of its immersive gameplay and money-making mechanics offers a renewed experience that promises to captivate both new players and veterans of the franchise.
