AC Shadows Should You Believe Mitsuhide

Not believing Mitsuhide's revelation about the identity of the Onryo's leader during the Friend of My Enemy quest is the canon choice in Assassin's Creed Shadows (AC Shadows). Learn about the outcomes of both dialogue choices of this conversation in this guide!

Mitsuhide Conversation Outcomes

No Consequences on Either Choice

Choice Result
I believe you. Mitsuhide tells Naoe that he knows Nobunaga's secrets, including the death of Naoe's father. He then proceeds to convince Naoe by showing the mask of one of the Onryo.
I don't believe you.
(Canon Choice)
Mitsuhide tells Naoe that he didn't believe Nobunaga was behind it, either. Not until he found the mask of one of the Onryo.

After finding Mitsuhide in the center of Katano Castle's grounds, he will let you in on his plan to kill Oda Nobunaga and reveal that he is "The Horseman" of the Onryo. You will have the option to believe this or not, but neither will bear consequences.

Not Believing is the Canon Choice

Nobunaga

You can pick either choice without worrying about their effect on the quest's outcome. Your choice only affects the following lines in the dialogue, but Mitsuhide will still prove his claims by presenting the Horseman's mask.
