In the “Searching Sakai” quest of Assassin’s Creed Shadow, one of your main tasks is to track down Imai Sokyu. This pivotal mission is all about unearthing the mysterious Golden Teppo’s identity.
Sokyu is closely tied to Oda Nobunaga, and allying with him might be crucial for progressing in your adventure. However, finding him in the bustling city of Sakai is no small feat.
This guide for Assassin’s Creed Shadow will walk you through locating Imai Sokyu to advance the “Searching Sakai” quest, bringing Naoe a step closer to her ultimate objective.
Now, how do you go about locating Imai Sokyu during the “Searching Sakai” mission?
Upon your arrival in Sakai, your initial move is to chat with several gunsmiths to gather intel on any woman wielding a golden teppo. Head to the town’s eastern side, where you’ll stumble upon two men engaged in conversation. Your mission? Eavesdrop discreetly to gather any useful tidbits.
Next, engage these men in conversation. Your aim is to secure the contracts they hold, which are your ticket to a tête-à-tête with Imai Sokyu. No dialogue option will necessarily lock you out of acquiring these contracts. If they suspect your identity isn’t linked to Imai, they might either flee or turn hostile. In such a scenario, act swiftly—assassinate them and seize the documents.
Once that’s done, dispatch scouts to narrow down Sokyu’s whereabouts within Sakai. They’ll pinpoint that he’s somewhere in the Money Changer District, but the precise location remains elusive.
So, how do you find Imai Sokyu?
Begin by seeking out his residence. Start from the central crossroads of Sakai and head south along a street with a ramp at the corner. Just before reaching a bridge, veer northeast and look for a row of houses draped in white cloth. Your target is the second house from the bridge.
Opening the door to this house concludes your quest. However, instead of meeting Imai Sokyu, you’ll be greeted by his son, Imai Sokun.
