Imai Sokyu & Tea Merchant Locations in Assassin’s Creed Shadows Revealed

Early in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Naoe embarks on a quest for vengeance against the masked individuals responsible for her father's death. You have the option to begin this journey with the Golden Teppo. Here’s 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, your clues point you towards 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, simply press the square button to send them to the southwestern section of the city, where they can pinpoint Imai Sokyu's location directly. Without scouts, make your way to Sakai and head to the Money Changer District. Use the L2 button to scan your surroundings, and look for a blue dot indicating Imai Sokyu's position.

Once you locate him, a brief sequence will ensue where you'll need to tail him. This will lead to a conversation in a teahouse, providing Naoe with crucial information about her next steps.

After meeting Imai Sokyu, your next task is to find the tea merchant, who is conveniently located nearby. Travel to the northern part of Sakai and, once again, use the L2 button to scan your surroundings. The blue dot will guide you to the tea merchant.

Locating the tea merchant allows you to advance in the quest, where Naoe will learn the intricacies of the tea ceremony, bringing her closer to obtaining the Golden Teppo.
