Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Shortly after taking out your first couple of target inAssassin ’s Creed Shadows , you may have a unique opportunity to chase after a group of thieves who direct spiritual site . This seeking is intimately tie to the former main quest , as well as your recruitment efforts inAC Shadows , so although it ’s only technically a sidequest , it should not be missed .

Yaya ’s personal questline , which begins and terminate with " Stray Dogs , " isonly usable if you made the good choicewithMitsumune and the give up soldiers , followingthe Wada Koretake assassination . Although you may already have an inkling of how the decision works - especially if you compensate close attention to how that particular pursuit amount to an remainder , the shrine raiders line up themselves in a far more complicated situation that challenges Yaya ’s personal philosophical system . Here ’s how the conclusion play out .

What Happens If You Forgive The Shrine Raiders?

Pros & Cons Of Forgiveness

After assassinating Wada Koretake , your friend , Mitsumune , will conquer a smattering of endure soldier and threaten to put to death them for their crime . They ’re clearly defeated and actively surrendering , and Yaya , a largely peaceable soul , objects to their killing , and would rather see them forgive . Mitsumune will kill the soldier either way , but you have to object to their execution(choosing " Killing them is n’t justice " ) to unlock " Stray Dogs . "

Ubisoft ’s Assassin ’s Creed Shadows is comfortable on the center , but a generally basic computer simulation , short upgrades , and insipid side activities weaken the impression .

Yaya will then appear on your objectives screen , and you may go and conform to her whenever you ’re ready . The quest has the two of you - Yaya and Naoe - look into a series of theft at local shrine . You ’ll have several opportunity to pick out whether to forgive or penalise various criminals , butnone of those conclusion really matter until you attain the end of the trail .

Eventually , you discover that the guilty party was lead by a monastic . Yaya will chastise him for a while , then turn to Naoe and ask what she think they should do with him . You ’ll have another dialogue pick here :

If you choose " We forgive him , " thenYaya will okay . Although respect for holy places is a priority for her , more important is esteem for human spirit . She ’d rather the monk have the opportunity to repent and make up for his misdeeds than die on the spot .

With that , Yaya announce that Naoe has passed her ultimate test , and that she ’s now convinced it ’s deserving conjoin Naoe ’s side . Yaya will henceforward become part of The League , Naoe ’s collection of comparable - minded exemption fighters . Butunlike other recruitable characters , Yaya wo n’t just give ear around at the Hideout . She ’s really summonable in battle , and pretty utile at that .

you’re able to customise the controls for summoning your ally - as well as which allies are assigned to which character - at your Hideout .

Once Yaya is summoned , she ’ll rampage around for a bit , drawing enemy fervour and conduct a little scathe herself . She can be helpful in take out foe - however , I encounter her much more utile as a beguilement . When you ’re playing as Naoe , if you find yourself fence by enemy and ca n’t seem to outrun them , simply summon Yaya , and she ’ll usually keep them busy long enough that you’re able to get far , far away .

Other than that , there are no particular rewards for opt to forgive the shrine raiders . I have n’t see them pop up anywhere else in - game , so for all intents and purposes , it seems like they fundamentally disappear off the typeface of the Earth after this face-off . Yaya ’s questline end here irrespective of what you choose , so do n’t worry about missing out on extra story content either way .

What Happens If You Punish The Shrine Raiders?

Pros & Cons Of Punishment

If you alternatively prefer " We penalise them , " thenYaya will , of course , disapprove . She wo n’t lash out them herself , or even get Naoe go after them ; she ’ll just stir her head and excuse that penalty is not her way . She ’ll still rent the shrine raiders go free with a word of advice , though . Naoe wo n’t kill them , so you wo n’t get any special rewards from them this manner , either .

There are a net ton of featured skills and abilities available for both Naoe and Yasuke in Assassin ’s Creed Shadows . Here ’s a comprehensive list .

The major difference here is that , if Naoe makes the wrong choice , Yaya will deem her and her drift too violent to continue collaborate with . As a result , you wo n’t be able to recruit Yaya to The League , which means that you wo n’t be capable to come up her or pass clock time with her around the den . Yaya is n’t recruitable anywhere else in the game , so this in effect end your interaction with her for good . Her questline ends here either direction , so you do n’t miss out on any story content by choosing to penalize .
