Assassin's Creed: Shadow of the Shogun offers multiple avenues for earning Mon. Many activities provide direct or indirect Mon rewards. For instance, contracts offer upfront Mon payouts clearly displayed on their quest icons.
Loot is another reliable source. Chests and fallen enemies scattered throughout Feudal Japan often contain Mon, instantly added to your coffers upon looting.
Selling unwanted items is a profitable strategy. The abundance of weapons, armor, and resources in Assassin's Creed: Shadow of the Shogun allows you to offload excess gear to vendors. Consider selling less desirable items to free up inventory space and boost your Mon count. Even hideout resources and crafting materials can be sold for extra Mon if you’re not focused on extensive base building.
While looting, keep an eye out for "Valuables"—items with no practical use except for selling. These can be conveniently sold in bulk to vendors for a quick Mon infusion.
What's the Fastest Way to Earn Mon in Assassin's Creed: Shadow of the Shogun?
The most efficient Mon-earning strategy involves combining several methods simultaneously. Castle side activities provide the best results.
Feudal Japan is dotted with enemy-occupied castles, each brimming with opportunities to earn Mon. These castles are easily cleared using Naoe's stealth abilities. Standard enemies drop some Mon, but Samurai Daisho typically yield significantly larger sums.
Castles are also packed with loot chests containing Mon or sellable items like weapons, armor, and valuables. For maximum efficiency, utilize Naoe's focus and eagle vision to locate chests and enemies. Systematically eliminate enemies, loot chests, and assassinate Daisho for their valuable loot. After clearing a castle, head to a nearby Gear Vendor or Port Trader to sell your spoils.
If you've exhausted nearby castles, selling accumulated gear and completing Mon-rewarding contracts provides supplementary income.
Assassin's Creed: Shadow of the Shogun is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
