Completing Lady of Whispers main quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

You can find the quest under Yasuke’s section on the Objective Board. The quest starts in Azuchi, located in the Omi region. Head to the location marked on the map, south of Azuchi Castle, halfway down a long stairway.

This mission is exclusive to Yasuke, so if you're currently playing as Naoe, you’ll need to switch characters.

2) Kill the Akechi soldiers

When you arrive at the location, you’ll find eight Akechi soldiers waiting for you. They will attack on sight, so be prepared. If your level is low, this fight can be tough since you’ll face different types of enemies, including a captain and a brute.

A smart strategy is to avoid taking on the whole group at once. Instead, try to lure a couple of enemies down the stairs to fight them in smaller groups. If you stay lower on the stairs, you might get lucky as some enemy attacks could miss you due to the height difference.

Make sure to use your combat abilities once you’ve built up your adrenaline bar. Also, try using ranged attacks to weaken enemies before they close in on you. Once you've cleared the courtyard, head into the first house to find the final soldier and defeat him.

3) Talking to the young lady

After clearing the area, you’ll notice a young woman crouching in the courtyard. Approach her and have a brief conversation. Next, you need to go to Sokenji Temple, located on the western side of Azuchi Castle. If you’ve unlocked the viewpoint at the temple, you can fast travel there to save time.

Once you arrive, go beneath the roof of a structure and approach the table. Interacting with the table will trigger a cutscene and complete the quest.

Finishing the quest will earn you 1,000 XP. This will also unlock the next main quest, Lords of Azuchi. Managing the fight against the Akechi soldiers is the key to completing this quest. Try not to fight the whole group at once and use the terrain to your advantage. Keep an eye on your health and adrenaline bar, and you’ll get through the fight more easily.
