Assassin’s Creed Shadows Imai Sokyu Location

The clues for finding Imai Sokyu are:

• He is in western Settsu
• He is in southwestern Sakai

Navigate to Sakai on your world map. If scouts are available, press the square button to have them scout the southwestern part of the city to pinpoint Imai Sokyu. Without scouts, travel to Sakai and explore the Money Changer District. Hold L2 to scan the area, and a blue dot will guide you to Imai Sokyu’s location.

This triggers a brief sequence where you tail him, leading to a teahouse conversation where Naoe gathers details about her next target.

Assassin’s Creed Tea Merchant Location

Next, find the tea merchant, who is near Imai Sokyu’s location. Head to northern Sakai, then hold L2 to scan the area for the blue dot marking the tea merchant’s position.

This advances the quest, with Naoe learning tea ceremony basics, bringing you closer to the Golden Teppo.
