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 for vengeance against the masked individuals who killed her father. As you begin this journey, you have the option to start with the Golden Teppo. To progress, you'll need to locate Imai Sokyu and the tea merchant. Here's a detailed guide to help you find them in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*.

Assassin's Creed Shadows Imai Sokyu Location

Your quest to find Imai Sokyu begins with the following clues:

• He is located in western Settsu.
• He can be found in southwestern Sakai.

Navigate to the city of Sakai on your world map. If you have scouts at your disposal, press the square button to send them to the southwestern part of the city, where they can pinpoint Imai Sokyu's exact location. Without scouts, make your way to Sakai and head towards the Money Changer District. Use the L2 button to scan your surroundings, and look for a blue dot indicating Imai Sokyu's whereabouts.

Following this, you'll engage in a brief sequence where you tail Imai Sokyu. This will lead to a conversation in a teahouse, providing Naoe with crucial information about her next objective.

Assassin's Creed Tea Merchant Location

After meeting Imai Sokyu, your next task is to locate the tea merchant, who is conveniently located near your previous encounter. Travel to the northern part of Sakai and again use the L2 button to scan for the blue dot, which will guide you to the tea merchant.

Finding the tea merchant will allow you to advance in the quest and learn the essentials of the tea ceremony, bringing you one step closer to acquiring the Golden Teppo.
