Assassin’s Creed Shadows

InAssassin ’s Creed Shadows , Gennojo ’s questline come to a head in a single , polar decisiveness . You first meet Gennojo as part of a main quest , in which you have to track down a stolen letter and are acquaint to the flirtatious thief who take up it . Meeting Gennojo here open up up a short sidequest chemical chain , giving you an chance to con more about the pall rogue and his own mission for revenge . If you postdate it far enough , you could evenromance Gennojo as Naoe , deepening their relationship - but it only dumbfound more complicated from there .

finally , Gennojo will reveal that he ’s on a mission for retaliation because the daimyo collected an below the belt demanding revenue enhancement from his village ’s rice harvest home one year . The result , he said , was a block storage shed spill over with rice , while his fellowship and neighbour starved , their own pantries remaining empty . indoors , you only detect a unmarried metric grain of rice , and Gennojo wing into an unmanageable rage . With an armful of explosives , he attempts to blow the whole thing - including himself - sky - gamey .

What Happens If You Stop Gennojo?

Pros & Cons Of The Aggressive Approach

You ’ll have three option at this point . Do notice thatthis is a time - circumscribe decision : you ’ll have to make a option within just a few seconds , or Naoe wo n’t do anything and will go out Gennojo to his own devices .

If you choose the pick that take " Stop Gennojo,“Naoe will nobble up behind him and bash him right in the jaw , knocking him unconcsiousin a form of nonlethal character assassination . Gennojo tumble to the basis , and Naoe is able to get him out of the way before he activates the volatile fuse - in other words , his superbia and his face may hurt , but he ’ll live .

A myopic time subsequently , Gennojo wakes up in a mess of straw with Naoe tend to him . He ’s clear a pot calmer now , and the two portion a much more level - head conversation . Eventually , Gennojo comes to the conclusion that his family would n’t have require him to die , even if it meant getting retaliation for them .

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

You ’ll then have the opportunity to invite Gennojo to The League . If you extend the offer , he comes tolive at the Hideout . Doing so may unlock other opportunities with Gennojo afterwards - maybe further chronicle quests , new Hideout services , or further romance prospect - but for now , Gennojo does n’t seem to be particularly useful . He ’s not asummonable friend like Yaya , or a crafting resource like Heiji . Still , it ’s nice to know that he ’s still alive and actively aid Naoe and Yasuke ’s movement . If you prefer to part way here , he gets up to who - knows - what , and could just as easily get himself killed .

Nor does Gennojo ’s romance electric arc seem to germinate any furtherafter this point - you ’ve likely already had ( and eithert taken or decline ) the chance to see a dearest scene with him , whether you roll in the hay it or not . The opportunity to romance him comes after you rescue him from a pair of samurai who have kidnapped him , long before this head . This is ultimately the orgasm of his own personal arc , and not much more . Naoe will have opportunities to chat up others later , but her journey with Gennojo seems to have come to an end by the prison term you make this determination .

What Happens If You Soothe Gennojo?

Pros & Cons Of A Gentle Approach

If you determine to approach Gennojo more gently , by but opt to " soothe " him , you ’ll hop a measure . Instead of punching him , Naoe will just call out to him . She ’ll give him a similar monologue , telling Gennojo about her own trauma , and how she learned not to blame herself for her class ’s deaths . This is enough to make him falter;Gennojo drops his explosive , and walk out .

Assassin ’s Creed Shadows has an terminate epilog that ’s easy to overlook , so here ’s what you need to do to ensure you get it ( and the rewards ) .

From there , much of the same take on out : you ’ll get to choose whether to call for Gennojo to The League as per usual , and the pursuit will stop with the same rewards . at long last , the difference between " stop " and " soothe " mostly comes down to how the ensuing scenery plays out ; as far as I can distinguish , it does n’t have any wider history impacts . It ’s up to you to make up one’s mind , free-base on your rendition of the option and Naoe and Gennojo ’s relationship .

What Happens If You Do Nothing?

Pros & Cons Of The Hands-Off Approach

If you choose " do nothing , " Naoe will do … well , nothing , as Gennojo alight the fuse and walks towards the store shed . The explosive will go off , and Gennojo will diein a blaze of glory , having in conclusion avenge his home - but at what cost ?

Somewhat unexpectedly , this is thecanon result inAC Shadows .

This is , of course , the sadder outcome . Even thoughone could reason it ’s a fitting end for Gennojo , who ’s never shown any fussy wish for life and death , it ’s just another tragedy brought on by the war , and a total final stage to Gennojo ’s family line . It is , however , a major incentive for Naoe run into the latter chapter of the secret plan , even if it is a scrap supererogatory - has n’t she already lost enough ?

You Should Soothe Or Stop Gennojo

Save Him, But The “How” Is Up To You

Ultimately , when give the option , you should either console or stop Gennojo- just do n’t do nothing . Both pick will save Gennojo ’s spirit and leave to a happier ending , but it ’s up to you how all that unfolds .

in person , I like the result of " barricade Gennojo " better . Naoe and his family relationship has always been a little antagonistic . Even when they ’re transparently strike on each other , there ’s still a speck of good - natured mockery to it all . Gennojo ’s always been a little intemperately - manoeuvre , too , and it only stands to reason that it ’d take a little extra force to make him see reason .

Assassin ’s Creed Shadows can have a learning curve , but making sure to prioritise a few central feature keeps everything be active along nicely .

Still , with how little this decisiveness seems to exchange about the big story , you should experience free to choose whatever makes the most sense here . Just know that if you choose to do nothing , Gennojo will choke . The other two available choice , though , are evenly executable for keeping him awake , leading to a estimable outcome inAssassin ’s Creed Shadows .
