Confronting the Golden Teppo in Assassin's Creed Shadows

After successfully infiltrating Imai Sokyu's tea ceremony, Naoe's hunt for the Golden Teppo has ended. Wakasa is one of the three guests, and after interacting with her briefly from the previous mission, you will have gathered enough evidence to prove that she was the one who shot Naoe during The Onryo Samurai. Wakasa had no clue who Naoe was and invited her to Osaka Castle.

If you chose Otama instead of Wakasa during the previous mission, it led to an alternate mission where you must hunt both women down. This version is much more subtle and intimate since Naoe managed to get in with nothing but her wit and will.

Inside the castle, the two will talk during a cutscene and you can begin snooping afterward. Walk around the room and on the left side, you can see a rifle hanging on the wall.

Approach it and pick it up while Wakasa is looking away. This will trigger a cutscene and Wakasa will start by saying that the rifle is not a child's toy, to which Naoe responds by saying it is a coward's weapon. Wakasa will then piece it together that Naoe was her victim that night.

Wakasa will try to reason with Naoe and ask what she can do or give to make it right, but Naoe is adamant that the only way for her to repay her debt is with blood. Your target will then try to appeal to your humanity and convince you to reconsider, opening up a few dialogue options for Naoe.

Should you go for the box or revenge?

Wakasa is desperate to stay alive and offers her material belongings in exchange for Naoe's mercy. You can end it immediately by killing her with the revenge option or go for the box. Wakasa will be relieved for a split second and say that it isn't there and she can take Naoe to where it is.

Naoe won't budge and demands Wakasa tell her where it is rather than lead her there. Wakasa will use the box as leverage to stay alive and tell Naoe she won't tell her where it is since she will pull the trigger afterward. Naoe has had enough and will kill her on the spot.

If you are on the clock, go straight for the revenge option since there is no way to change the outcome. The Golden Teppo's fate was sealed when she invited Naoe inside her home, marking the end of her hunt for her father's killer and the Drive the Point Home quest.
