Assassin's Creed Shadows (AC Shadows)

Sokyu's Son or Daughter?

Add to Watchlist

AC Shadows Sokyu

Naoe will still need to take out the gunsmiths regardless of who she says her contact is in Assassin's Creed Shadows (AC Shadows). Learn if you should say Sokyu's son or daughter and what its effects are in this guide!

Sokyu's Son or Daughter Outcomes

Your Choice Won't Affect the Outcome

Choice Result
I know Imai Sokyu's son. Yakichi will insist Asajiro to just give Naoe the contracts but it won't affect the outcome.
That's none of your business.
I know Imai Sokyu's daughter. Asajiro will tell you that Imai Sokyu doesn't have a daughter. This won't affect the outcome either.

After eavesdropping on the gunsmiths during the Searching Sakai quest, Naoe confronts them and asks to hand over the contracts. Yakichi and Asajiro will question Naoe and her connection to Imai Sokyu.

None of these choices will affect the following events, and you will still have to chase the two or drop them on the spot for the contracts.

Sokyu's Son or Daughter?

Say That It's None of Their Business

telling them that it

Ultimately, your choice doesn't matter, as it will still lead to Asajiro trying to extort 500 Mon from you and starting a fight or chasing and killing both of them in public. None of these choices is canon either, as the canon route is Naoe replying, "My name is not important." when Yakichi asks who she is.

You can intimidate them by replying, "It's none of your business." or remain calm and reply, "I know Imai Sokyu's son." Just don't say you're with Imai Sokyu's daughter, as it is a fact that he doesn't have a daughter.
