Redeem Assassin’s Creed Shadows Preorder Bonuses: A Guide

If you pre-ordered *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, you're in for a treat with some exclusive goodies to claim early in the game. Here's a straightforward guide on how to redeem your pre-order bonuses in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

How to Start Thrown to the Dogs in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

To kick things off, once you've pre-ordered *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, you'll have access to a unique quest called Thrown to the Dogs. This quest becomes available when you first gain control of Naoe and enter the open-world.

Follow the quest marker on your map to locate a dog, and then trail it to a farm. Your mission is to find a key hidden beneath a house and bring it back to the dog's gravesite. Upon completing these steps, you'll befriend the dog, and the quest will be marked as complete.

If locating the key proves challenging, search for a small crawlspace at the base of the house. Naoe can go prone and crawl inside to retrieve the key. It's a bit hidden, so keep your eyes peeled!

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Preorder Bonuses

Upon successfully completing Thrown to the Dogs, you'll unlock your pre-order bonuses, which include:

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

While these bonuses might seem modest, they're still valuable. Tsuki-maru adds charm to your Hideout without any practical function, but the 1,000 XP is a significant boost for the early game. This XP will provide you with a few Mastery Points, allowing you to experiment with new skills as you rank up your Knowledge.

And that's the complete guide on how to redeem your pre-order bonuses in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including what happens when you climb the torii gate and a comprehensive list of all main quests, make sure to visit The Escapist.
