The Thrown to the Dogs quest in Assassin's Creed Shadows is a pre-order bonus, a little side mission that players can do where they pursue a wounded dog's treasure and have to find a hidden key's location along the way. It's certainly one of the less high-stakes, life-or-d death quests you'll do as you work your way through Assassin’s Creed Shadows, but it's a good early quest to break yourself into the game, and you'll get a free dog in the process! If you want to know where to start that mission and how to solve the tricky scavenger hunt that's a part of it, here's the location of the Thrown to the Dogs quest in Assassin's Creed Shadows, as well as where to acquire the key as part of it!

Because it's the biggest sticking point, I'll show you where to acquire the key in the Thrown to the Dogs quest first. After following the dog to Takako's farm and either talking her down or just fighting her, you'll need to find the key's location.
