In the early stages of *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, Naoe embarks on a quest to avenge her father's death by targeting the masked assailants. You have the option to begin this journey with the Golden Teppo. Here's a detailed guide on how to locate Imai Sokyu and the tea merchant in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*.
Assassin's Creed Shadows Imai Sokyu Location
To find Imai Sokyu, you'll need to focus on the following clues:
- He is located in the western part of Settsu.
- He is specifically in the southwestern part of Sakai.
Navigate to the city of Sakai on your world map. If you have scouts at your disposal, you can press the square button to send them to the southwestern section of the city, which will pinpoint Imai Sokyu's location directly. If scouts are not available, make your way to Sakai and head towards the Money Changer District. Use the L2 button to scan the area; you should spot a blue dot indicating Imai Sokyu's whereabouts.
Following this, you'll engage in a sequence where you must tail Imai Sokyu, leading to a conversation in a teahouse. This interaction will provide Naoe with crucial information about her next target.
Assassin's Creed Tea Merchant Location
After your encounter with Imai Sokyu, your next task is to find the tea merchant, conveniently located near your previous meeting spot. Travel to the northern part of Sakai and once again, use the L2 button to scan for a blue dot that will guide you to the merchant.
Interacting with the tea merchant will advance your quest, allowing Naoe to learn the intricacies of the tea ceremony, bringing you one step closer to obtaining the Golden Teppo.
