In the early stages of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, Naoe embarks on a quest to find those responsible for her father's death, starting with the pursuit of the Golden Teppo. Here's your guide to locating Imai Sokyu and the tea merchant in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Imai Sokyu Location
Your search for Imai Sokyu begins with these clues: he is located in the western part of Settsu and the southwestern area of Sakai. On your world map, navigate to Sakai. If you have scouts at your disposal, press the square button to deploy them to the southwestern part of the city, which will help you pinpoint Imai Sokyu's exact location. Without scouts, make your way to Sakai and head towards the Money Changer District. Use the L2 button to scan your surroundings, and a blue dot will guide you directly to Imai Sokyu.
Following this, you'll engage in a brief sequence where you tail Imai Sokyu, leading to a conversation in a teahouse. Here, Naoe gathers crucial information for her next steps.
Assassin’s Creed Tea Merchant Location
Next, you'll need to find the tea merchant, conveniently located near where you encountered Imai Sokyu. Head north within Sakai and once again use the L2 button to scan the area. A blue dot will appear, directing you to the tea merchant.
Locating the tea merchant will allow Naoe to progress in her quest and learn the art of the tea ceremony, bringing her closer to obtaining the Golden Teppo.
This covers everything you need to know about finding Imai Sokyu and the tea merchant in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more in-depth guides and tips on the game, including how to navigate difficulty settings and romance Katsuhime, visit The Escapist.
