Searching Sakai: The Golden Teppo 2

Need help finding the golden teppo in Assassin's Creed Shadows? Follow our guide for the 'Searching Sakai' memory, including dialogue and tips to find the blacksmiths.

Hey there! So, you're trying to track down that fancy golden teppo in Assassin's Creed Shadows, huh? Let's dive into the 'Searching Sakai' memory. It's all about Naoe looking for clues about the person who used that golden arquebus to kill her father, Fujibayashi Nagato. She's heading to Sakai to find blacksmiths who might know something. When you first arrive in Sakai, you'll hear some merchants talking. One mentions someone who spent a fortune to get Imai Sokyu's favor and expects a return. Another notes that Master Sokyu is close to Lord Oda Nobunaga. As Naoe, you'll head to the Sakai Firearm District. You'll try talking to a sword merchant, but he's more interested in selling you swords than teppo. Keep looking, and you'll find a teppo merchant. When you ask about a teppo trimmed with gold, he'll say he's not an artisan and just sells them. Next, you'll find a weapons blacksmith. He'll scoff at the idea of gold, suggesting Tamba silver instead, but Naoe insists on gold. He'll refuse. Don't worry, there's a lead! You'll overhear a conversation in an alley between Asajiro and Yakichi. They're talking about selling forged letters that grant access to Imai Sokyu, mentioning deals for 'thirty bars of silver for the Portuguese of Nagasaki' and 'a shipment of Tanegashima teppo' for Oda Nobunaga. Yakichi is worried about being caught, especially since his own mon was used and he's spent his money on these forgeries. Naoe will reveal herself and demand the letters. Yakichi is scared, but Asajiro tries to extort Naoe for five hundred mon. Naoe, revealing she's a shinobi, will chase down Asajiro and be forced to kill him to get the contracts. She figures these letters will help her pose as a trader. Naoe will then head to the southwestern part of Sakai, adopting the persona of 'Sanuki,' a trader. She'll approach the Imai family residence. Imai Sokun will initially be dismissive, but when Naoe mentions she has trade contracts, he'll want to see them. After reviewing the forged documents, Sokun will be intrigued, noting his father's dealings with Nagasaki and Tanegashima teppo, and his father's role as Lord Nobunaga's tea master and supplier. He'll agree to help Naoe find what she's looking for in exchange for a share of the profit. Just remember, in Sakai, nothing comes without a cost!
