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

In the early stages of *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, Naoe embarks on a quest to track down the masked individuals responsible for her father's death. You have the option to start this journey armed with the Golden Teppo. Here's a detailed guide on how to locate 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 the following clues:

• He is located in western Settsu.
• He resides in southwestern Sakai.

Navigate to the city of Sakai on your world map. If you have scouts at your disposal, simply press the square button to dispatch them to the southwestern part of the city, where they will pinpoint Imai Sokyu's exact location. 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 that will guide you directly to Imai Sokyu.

Following this, you'll need to tail Imai Sokyu, leading to a conversation in a teahouse. This interaction will provide Naoe with crucial information regarding her next objective.

Assassin's Creed Tea Merchant Location

After meeting Imai Sokyu, your next task is to find the tea merchant, conveniently located nearby. Travel to the northern part of Sakai and once again use the L2 button to scan for the blue dot indicating the tea merchant's position.

Locating the tea merchant will advance your quest, allowing Naoe to delve into the art of the tea ceremony, bringing you closer to obtaining the Golden Teppo.
