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. Players have the option to begin this journey with the Golden Teppo. Here's a detailed guide on how to locate Imai Sokyu and the tea merchant within the game.

Assassin's Creed Shadows Imai Sokyu Location

To find Imai Sokyu, you'll need to head to the western region of Settsu, specifically the southwestern part of Sakai. Navigate to Sakai on your world map. If you have scouts at your disposal, simply press the square button to deploy them to the southwestern area of the city, which will help pinpoint Imai Sokyu's location directly. Without scouts, you'll need to travel to Sakai yourself and explore the Money Changer District. Use the L2 button to scan the area; a blue dot will appear, guiding you to Imai Sokyu.

Upon locating him, you'll initiate a sequence where you follow Imai Sokyu, leading to a conversation in a teahouse. This interaction provides Naoe with crucial information for her next objective.

Assassin's Creed Tea Merchant Location

Following your encounter with Imai Sokyu, your next task is to find the tea merchant, conveniently located near your previous meeting spot. Head to the northern part of Sakai and, once again, use the L2 button to scan your surroundings. The blue dot will indicate the tea merchant's position, allowing you to progress in the quest.

Engaging with the tea merchant will teach Naoe the basics of the tea ceremony, bringing her one step closer to acquiring the Golden Teppo.

That concludes the guide on locating Imai Sokyu and the tea merchant in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*. For more insights and tips on the game, including detailed information on difficulty settings and how to romance Katsuhime, be sure to visit The Escapist.
