*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* finally delivers the much-anticipated feudal Japan setting that fans have been yearning for since the series began, and it does so in spectacular fashion. With a wealth of activities to engage in—or choose not to—one question that might arise is whether you can climb the torii gates within the game. Here's what you need to know about this intriguing aspect of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
Can You Climb the Torii Gates in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?
To get right to the point, yes, you can climb the torii gates you encounter in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. However, doing so won't trigger any specific gameplay events or rewards. Early in the game, as you take control of Naoe and explore the open world, you'll come across Shinto shrines marked by these iconic torii gates. While the game advises against climbing them to respect their sanctity, it is indeed possible to ascend to the top if you're inclined to do so. But be warned, there's nothing to be found at the summit of these gates, making the climb purely a matter of personal curiosity.
Why Shouldn’t You Climb the Torii Gates?
In the context of Japanese culture and Shinto beliefs, torii gates serve as sacred thresholds through which spirits pass, marking the boundary between the sacred and the profane. As such, these gates command a level of reverence, and climbing over them is generally considered disrespectful. *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* reflects this cultural sensitivity by encouraging players to refrain from such actions. While there are no in-game penalties for climbing the gates, adhering to this cultural norm is a gesture of respect.
That covers everything you need to know about climbing the torii gates in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
