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

In the early stages of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, Naoe embarks on a quest to hunt down the masked individuals responsible for her father's death. You have the option to begin this journey with the Golden Teppo. Here's a detailed guide on how to find Imai Sokyu and the tea merchant in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Imai Sokyu Location

To locate Imai Sokyu, you'll need to follow these clues:

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

Navigate your world map to the city of Sakai. If you have scouts available, you can deploy them by pressing the square button to quickly pinpoint Imai Sokyu in the southwestern part of the city. Without scouts, simply travel to Sakai and head towards the Money Changer District. Use the L2 button to scan your surroundings, and a blue dot will guide you to Imai Sokyu's location.

Following Imai Sokyu will lead to a brief sequence where you tail him, culminating in a conversation at a teahouse. This interaction will provide Naoe with crucial information for her next objective.

Assassin’s Creed Tea Merchant Location

Finding the tea merchant is the next step, and fortunately, they are located near where you met Imai Sokyu. Head north within 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 further your quest, allowing Naoe to delve into the basics of the tea ceremony and edge closer to obtaining the Golden Teppo.
