Yaya: You Need To Forgive Each Other Or You Need To 8gjwup

Navigate the crucial choices in Assassin's Creed Shadows involving Yaya and Tetsuo. Learn how to recruit Yaya as an ally by choosing forgiveness.

Alright, let's talk about Yaya and Tetsuo in Assassin's Creed Shadows. You've just finished up 'The Wounded Assassination,' and Yaya's story is about to hit a major turning point. Remember that earlier choice you made with her? It's going to impact things moving forward, and Yaya's been leaning towards forgiveness, which is key here.

This comes up again during 'The Stray Dogs' quest. You'll be faced with a decision: should Yaya forgive the Shrine Raider, or should she punish him? If you're aiming to get Yaya as a permanent ally, you'll want to choose forgiveness. After you wrap up 'The Stray Dogs,' you'll get the big one – the choice that truly determines if she'll join your cause.

“You need to forgive each other.”

If you've been following Yaya's narrative and picking the forgiveness options all along, this should feel like the natural choice. Even if she'd momentarily forgotten about it, Yaya really values forgiveness. Choosing this option here not only convinces her to forgive Tetsuo but also helps her forgive herself for past events. If you've consistently chosen forgiveness for Yaya, you'll eventually get an option at the end of this scene: “Let’s work together.” Selecting this will bring her onto your team as a usable ally, ready to be assigned from the Dojo you can build back at The Hideout.

“You need to take responsibility.”

Now, if you decide to push Yaya to take responsibility for her actions that led to Tetsuo's betrayal, she'll be less than thrilled. While she will ultimately accept responsibility, it goes against her core beliefs. If you choose this path, when presented with the prompt “Let’s work together.”, she'll decline your offer to join as an ally. We're still looking into whether this choice can be reversed later on to recruit Yaya, so check back for updates.
