During the Searching for Sakai quest, you’ll have to find Imai Sokyu, who may have some information about the deadly Onryo group. Since the instructions for this mission are relatively vague, we’ll show you Imai Sokyu’s location in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

AC: Shadows Imai Sokyu location

You can find Imai Sokyu south of Sakai, near the Money Changer and Sakai Firearm Districts. Use your aim to pinpoint his quest marker, saving you from using your Scouts.

It’ll take you over to a house, where you’ll discover Sokyu and his son, Sokun, sitting at a table. Unfortunately, Sokyu won’t speak to you quite yet, but you can request an audience with him through Imai Sokun.

Searching for Sakai: Shizuka, Sanuki, and Shigure choice, explained

When speaking to Sokun, he’ll ask, “What shall I call you?” You can’t reveal Naoe’s real name, so you must choose between Shizuka, Sanuki, and Shigure. It doesn’t matter which one you pick; however, you’ll need to remember the one you’ve selected. NPCs will ask you for your name🅘 later on, and they can get confused when you use a different one.

If you do happen to choose the wrong name in the future, it shouldn’t impact this quest’s outcome too much. You’ll just have to go through the embarrassment of the NPC’s snarly looks when you pick the incorrect dialogue point.

You’ll conclude the AC: Shadows Searching Sakai quest shortly after this conversation. Expect an XP boost of +1,000, increasing your player rank for high-tier weapons and equipment. It’ll also open up two more side quests in the Onryo’s Golden Teppo storyline. You must prepare yourself for a tea ceremony, including acquiring a Kosode in southwestern Sakai and speaking to a tea merchant in northern Sakai. Complete these two tasks to get closer to the woman with the gold-trimmed teppo, rewarding you with one of the best weapons for Naoe.
