So listen up cause this is actually pretty straightforward when it comes to sneaking around and taking care of business quietly. From what i've found youre gonna want to focus on working with shadows and light sources, which is where the real ninja stuff comes in. You can use your shurikens to snuff out lights and stay hidden but keep in mind guards will definitely check out anything suspicious.

What's really cool is how the seasons change up your stealth game, like when winter hits and the lakes freeze over you've got less places to hide but new paths to take. The basic stuff like crawling low and timing your strikes is super important, and you'll definitely want to get good with that kusarigama grappling hook for moving around. Maybe interesting to know that the observe mechanic lets you really plan things out before making your move.

No crazy explosion stuff for covering up your kills though, but honestly you've got plenty of other tricks like smoke bombs that work just as well. Its more about being smart with your environment and picking the right moment to strike, especially when youre dealing with those heavily armored guys that need some special attention.
