Follow our walkthrough for Assassin's Creed Shadows' 'Honor Among Thieves' quest. Learn how to find the scroll for Gennojo in Kyoto, navigate restricted areas, and make key dialogue choices.
Walkthrough
- 1After completing 'Sake and Swords', Gennojo will give you the 'Honor Among Thieves' quest. He is located north of Kyoto, outside the Kubo Sama Old Residence.
- 2The Kubo Sama Old Residence is a restricted area. You can enter it, but be aware of guards and servants. Killing servants does not incur a penalty, but they can alert guards if they spot you.
- 3Use Eagle Vision to tag enemies and identify quest items (blue dots) and the required scroll.
- 4The best entry point is near Gennojo, offering minimal guard presence and a good vantage point. Alternatively, enter from the western side near a haypile, which allows for early engagement with guards.
- 5After dealing with the guards by the stables and the well, proceed cautiously, using rooftops and looking for isolated enemies.
- 6One house in the northwestern corner may contain a scroll, but it might not be the correct one. The house next to it likely contains the required scroll: a map of Yamashiro pinpointing Nijo Palace.
- 7Once you have the scroll, you can leave the restricted area and return to Gennojo. Looting the rest of the area may attract more enemies.
- 8Return to Gennojo with the scroll.
- 9When prompted for dialogue choices to advance his romance, select 'I’m keeping it, then'. For the subsequent choice, pick the top option, 'I’m all in', to ensure progression.
- 10The quest concludes after these dialogue choices, leading into the next quest, 'Stolen Hearts'.
Tips
- Tagging enemies with Eagle Vision is crucial for planning your infiltration and identifying the target item.
- The area near the haypile on the western side offers a strategic entry point for stealth or combat.
- Be thorough in checking houses, especially in the northwestern part of the compound, to find the correct scroll.
- Consider the risk versus reward when deciding whether to loot the entire restricted area.
