Finding Imai Sokyu in Assassin's Creed Shadows
Your only clues for locating Imai Sokyu are:
- He resides in western Settsu
- He can be found in southwestern Sakai
Navigate to Sakai on your world map. If you have scouts available, press the square button to investigate the southwestern sector and mark his location automatically. Without scouts, travel directly to Sakai's Money Changer District. Use the L2 button to scan your surroundings until a blue waypoint appears, guiding you to Imai Sokyu.
This triggers a brief surveillance mission where you'll follow him to a teahouse. There, Naoe obtains crucial information about her next target.
Locating the Tea Merchant in Assassin's Creed Shadows
The tea merchant is conveniently located near your meeting spot with Imai Sokyu. Travel to northern Sakai and again use L2 to scan for the blue waypoint.
Successfully finding the merchant allows Naoe to master tea ceremony basics - a vital step toward uncovering the Golden Teppo's secrets.
