Follow our guide to complete the 'Dress for Success' quest in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Learn where to find the kosode merchant and how to retrieve stolen silks from pirates.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When the quest begins, a hint will point you to the southwestern part of Sakai. Locate the merchant there (look for a blue dot using Observe). She is stirring a large pot.
  2. 2
    The merchant explains that she can make you a kosode, but it will be ready in a week due to pirates disrupting a silk shipment.
  3. 3
    To retrieve the silks, open your map and head to the pirate location just off the shore of Sakai.
  4. 4
    Identify the two larger boats in the port. One has a Viewpoint. The other boat is occupied by pirates.
  5. 5
    Approach the occupied boat. There are five pirates: two at the front and back (ranged enemies), two in the center, and one patrolling.
  6. 6
    Prioritize taking out the ranged enemies at the front and back first.
  7. 7
    If the two pirates in the center are unalerted, they will be near explosive pots. Use a ranged weapon to time an attack when a larger enemy walks near them to eliminate all three.
  8. 8
    If you are detected, focus on the lesser enemies first, saving the larger enemy for last.
  9. 9
    The larger enemy has unblockable attacks, so you will need to dodge them.
  10. 10
    Once all enemies are defeated, loot the ship.
  11. 11
    Locate the main chest in the center of the ship to find the Bale of Silk.
  12. 12
    Return the Bale of Silk to the merchant.
  13. 13
    You will be given a choice between a Red Silk Kosode or a Black Silk Kosode. Either choice completes the mission.
Tips
  • Use Observe to find the merchant by looking for a blue dot.
  • The boat with the Viewpoint has no enemies but contains a chest with loot.
  • If you need to fight the larger enemy, be prepared to dodge his unblockable attacks.
  • Red Silk Kosode OR Black Silk Kosode
