Players will encounterseveral moments in the game where they’ll have to make a choicethat may have an impact on the overarching narrative ofAssassin’s Creed Shadows. One of these choices occurs in the Of My Enemy quest, where we see Naoe and Yasuke working with a deceitful merchant, Hiromichi. After fulfilling his request to assassinate an Ox’s commander, you’ll retrieve a shipping manifest from their body. Now, players will need to decide whether they should give the manifest to Hiromichi or withhold it.
Assassinating the Ox’s Lieutenant in AC Shadows
To assassinate the Ox (Shinbakufu) inAssassin’s Creed Shadows, players mustgain entry into the Miki Castle. However, to secure a passage inside undetected, you’ll need to fulfill Hiromichi’s (the merchant) request to assassinate Ox’s faithful commander. Since Hiromichi fears that the commander might replace him soon, assassinating him will be mutually beneficial to Naoe and Yasuke.
After visiting the Takasago Shrine, players find out that the Ox isn’t in the shrine but guarding some cargo on a ship. The ship is located towards the southeast of the Kakogawa Estuary. After finding the Takasago Commander and assassinating him, players willrecover a Shipping Manifestfrom his body. Now, players must report back to Hiromichi to update him on the successful assassination.
Should You Give the Shipping Manifest to Hiromichi or Withhold it in the “Of My Enemy” Quest?
After updating Hiromichi on the successful assassination of the Ox’s lieutenant, he’ll ask the players if they’ve found a Shipping Manifest on his body. He further adds that if he got ahold of that Shipping Manifest,he would ensure the continued flow of goods into Harima. This means no one will go hungry, but it’ll also help Hiromichi cut off the competition.
Although Hiromichi has a good reason to demand the Shipping Manifest, his secondary intentions may sound nefarious to many. So, it’s up to the players whether they shouldgive the Shipping Manifest to Hiromichi or withhold itinthe Of My Enemy quest inAssassin’s Creed Shadows.
If you decide togive the Shipping Manifestto Hiromichi, he’ll commend the player’s ability to set aside their moral objections in the pursuit of the greater good. However, if you decide towithhold the Shipping Manifest, Hiromichi will simply walk away, and the mission will be marked as complete regardless of the choice.
