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 hunt down the masked individuals responsible for her father's death. You can opt to start this journey with the Golden Teppo, and here’s how you can locate Imai Sokyu and the tea merchant in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Imai Sokyu Location

To find Imai Sokyu, you’ll have two main clues to work with:

• He is located in western Settsu.
• He is specifically in the southwestern part of Sakai.

Open your world map and navigate to Sakai. If you have scouts at your disposal, you can press the square button to send them to the southwestern area of the city, where they will pinpoint Imai Sokyu's exact location. If you're without scouts, simply travel to Sakai and make your way to the Money Changer District. Use the L2 button to scan your surroundings, and you should spot a blue dot indicating Imai Sokyu's position.

Following this, you’ll engage in a brief sequence where you tail Imai Sokyu, 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

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

Locating the tea merchant will advance your quest, allowing Naoe to learn the essentials of the tea ceremony, bringing you one step closer to acquiring the Golden Teppo.
