How to Earn Mon Fast in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

The fastest and most efficient way to earn Mon in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is by finding strategies where you can employ several of the methods to earn Mon at once. By far, the easiest and most effective way to do this is by completing Castle side activities.

Across Assassin’s Creed Shadows‘ Feudal Japan, there are several enemy occupied Castles. These Castles have several ways to earn Mon, and can be completed really fast with Naoe’s stealth capabilities. Castles are crawling with enemies, including a set amount of Samurai Daisho. While the standard enemies within these areas can often drop some Mon as loot, the Samurai Daisho will almost always have larger sums of Mon on them.

There is also tons of loot in these Castles, with chests that will include Mon directly, or weapons, armor, and valuables for you to sell later. To earn Mon as fast as possible, sneak into a Castle as Naoe and use your focus and eagle’s vision to make note of the chests and enemies in the area. Kill and loot as many of the enemies as you can, loot all the chests, and assassinate the Daisho and take their loot. After clearing a Castle, head to the nearest Gear Vendor or Port Trader and sell everything you looted from the Castle.

If you run out of Castles or don’t see any on your map, selling gear and completing contracts with Mon rewards is a great way to supplement your in game income.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
