A Garrison to Dismantle quest in Assassin's Creed Shadows Claws of Awaji: Walkthrough

Find Tomeji

After neutralizing all 14 captains in the Dismantling One by One quest, reach near the Sumoto Castle. It is located in the western part of Awaji Island, in the Sumoto region.

Next, go to the outer segment of the castle and talk to Konatsu. She will then let you know that Tomeji will be alone on the battlefield due to all of his captains being defeated. At the end of the conversation, choose the option "Fight as Yasuke."

Although you can opt for Naoe, playing as Yasuke will allow you to deal more damage to Tomeji while taking a few hits without worrying about the health bar.

When you've selected the fighter, the boss battle against Tomeji will begin.

Defeat Tomeji

Tomeji's attack pattern contains a range of combos, including the red attacks that you cannot parry or block, and the blue attacks that you can counter. The main focus of this fight should be patience, as you must strike at appropriate times and avoid attacking aimlessly.

Ensure to dodge Tomeji's unblockable attacks, and if you correctly time the dodge, he will become vulnerable. Afterward, land several strikes and wait for the next opportunity again. Also, look for his blue-marked combo, which you must parry consecutively to execute a counterattack.

One of the best times to strike Tomeji is when he performs a specific combo, where he lands a heavy strike on the ground. He takes some time to recover, which makes him exposed to your attacks. Whenever his shield gets broken, he takes a lot more damage than usual.

Additionally, appropriately employ the abilities, particularly the ones that cause Tomeji to fall to the ground. Then you can execute a ground attack to deal a hefty amount of damage. I used Kanabo's Spine Breaker ability, which was extremely helpful in defeating Tomeji.
