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 locating Imai Sokyu and the tea merchant in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Imai Sokyu Location

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

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

Navigate to Sakai on your world map. If you have scouts at your disposal, press the square button to deploy them to the southwestern part of the city, which will lead you directly to Imai Sokyu. Without scouts, travel to Sakai and head to 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 this, you'll engage in a sequence where you tail Imai Sokyu, culminating in a conversation at a teahouse. This interaction provides Naoe with crucial information about her next objective.

Assassin’s Creed Tea Merchant Location

Next, you'll need to find the tea merchant, conveniently located near where you met Imai Sokyu. Make your way to the northern part of Sakai. Again, use the L2 button to scan the area and locate the blue dot indicating the tea merchant’s position.

Finding the tea merchant advances your quest and allows Naoe to learn the essentials of the tea ceremony, bringing you closer to acquiring the Golden Teppo.

That's all the information you need to find Imai Sokyu and the tea merchant in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and comprehensive guides on the game, including details on difficulty settings and how to romance Katsuhime, be sure to visit The Escapist.
