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 avenge her father by hunting down the masked assailants, and you have the option to start with the Golden Teppo. Here’s a detailed guide on how to locate Imai Sokyu and the tea merchant in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Imai Sokyu Location

Your search for Imai Sokyu begins with a few crucial clues: he is located in the western region of Settsu and the southwestern part of Sakai. To find him, navigate to Sakai on your world map. If you have scouts at your disposal, press the square button to deploy them to the southwestern area of the city, which will lead them directly to Imai Sokyu. Without scouts, you'll need to travel to Sakai yourself and head to the Money Changer District. Use the L2 button to scan your surroundings, and look for a blue dot indicating Imai Sokyu’s precise location.

Once you find him, you'll follow Imai Sokyu through a brief sequence, culminating in a conversation at a teahouse. This dialogue provides Naoe with essential information for 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 nearby. Make your way to the northern part of Sakai. Again, utilize the L2 button to scan your surroundings and spot the blue dot marking the tea merchant’s location.

Finding the tea merchant advances the quest, allowing Naoe to learn the intricacies of the tea ceremony. This knowledge brings you one step closer to acquiring the Golden Teppo.

That concludes the guide on locating Imai Sokyu and the tea merchant in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more insights and tips on the game, including detailed information on difficulty settings and how to romance Katsuhime, be sure to visit The Escapist.
