Yaya can be recruited as an ally during The Stray Dogs quest in Assassin's Creed Shadows (AC Shadows). Learn how to recruit Yaya, all the choices that affect her recruitment, and her active and passive abilities.
List of Contents
| Quest | Choices |
|---|---|
| Heads Will Roll | Justice must be served. Killing them isn't justice. |
| The Stray Dogs | Forgive him. Punish him. |
| The Stray Dogs | You need to forgive each other. You need to take responsibility. |
There are three choices that impact Yaya's decision to join you as an ally. You just need to choose at least two out of three forgiveness-aligned answers if you want to be able to recruit Yaya.
The best Yaya choices are Killing them isn't justice, Forgive him, and You need to forgive each other. These will guarantee Yaya's recruitment. Choosing two of any of the opposite choices will result in Yaya rejecting you.
If you are playing on Canon Mode, Yaya is automatically recruited as you progress through the game and complete The Stray Dogs.
Once you finish Yaya's League quest called The Stray Dogs, you can ask Yaya to work together with you. This is your only chance to recruit Yaya.
If you've made enough choices that she agrees with during Heads Will Roll and The Stray Dogs, then she will agree to join your team once you ask her. If you didn't make enough of the peaceful, forgiving choices, then Yaya will refuse to join you if you ask her.
