After starting the A Puzzlement quest in Assassin's Creed Shadow, Naoe and Yasuke meet Kinu and Kane in front of the locked Glyph Door. Following that, Yasuke teaches them a battle mechanic during the Teach a Dog New Kicks quest, and Naoe also grants the ability to use Dropkick.

In the next part, it's Naoe's turn to teach Kinu and Kane a new fighting skill. When the Teach a Dog New Kicks quest concludes, you must wait until the next day and interact with them. You can use AC Shadows' time-skip mechanic for this.

Then, return to the Glyph Door's location in the Wakasa region, and navigate to Kinu and Kane. Talk to them to start the Headucation quest.

When the next training phase starts, move forward while crouching and then hide in the nearby bush. Next, keep track of Kane's movement, and whenever he moves from left to right, sneak behind and perform the Takedown ability.

With this, the Headucation quest in Assassin's Creed Shadows comes to an end. Yasuke will permanently obtain the Takedown ability, and Kinu and Kane will give more riddle scrolls to track down the Glyphs. You can now also access the final mission of this questline, Battle of the Bests.
