Reveal the True Villain in Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Accuse Hokkyo, Junkei, or Ayako?

by

In the primary mission of “Assassin’s Creed Shadows,” known as “The Darkness Falls,” you, as the player, participate in peace negotiations between Tsutsui Junkei and Akiyama Ayako. Joken Hokkyo serves as a neutral third party mediator during these discussions. However, if it becomes evident that the talks are failing, the task of identifying the culprit falls on your shoulders.

Following a brief chat with Kojiri, players in Assassin’s Creed Shadows will face a dilemma: they must decide whether to accuse Joken Hokkyo, Tsutsui Junkei, or Akiyama Ayako. By this stage, many should have a fair understanding of who’s been manipulating events, but for those still uncertain, the subsequent section outlines the repercussions of each possible choice.

Should You Accuse Joken Hokkyo, Tsutsui Junkei, or Akiyama Ayako?

In the style of many crucial choices found in ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’, the identity of who players point a finger at – whether Joken Hokkyo, Tsutsui Junkei, or Akiyama Ayako – doesn’t fundamentally alter the outcome. True, misjudging who the culprit is may cause temporary irritation, but swiftly, the true villain will be exposed and brought to account.

What Happens if You Accuse Joken Hokkyo?

If players suggest that Joken Hokkyo is guilty, he denies it by claiming that Yasuke has lost his mind. This allegation triggers the samurai to instantly hurl a knife at the monk’s head. In a split second, the monk catches the knife with his hands, unveiling his true nature as The Wise. Without hesitation, he commands his followers to execute everyone, starting with Yasuke.

What Happens if You Accuse Tsutsui Junkei?

In a similar manner as any innocent individual might feel, Tsutsui Junkei expresses dissatisfaction over being implicated. Yet, Kojiri interrupts the proceedings, instructing Yasuke to throw his sword at Joken Hokkyo. The reason behind the samurai’s immediate compliance remains unclear, but it ultimately leads to the monk catching the sword and disclosing his hidden true nature.

What Happens if You Accuse Akiyama Ayako?

Accusing Akiyama Ayako is similar to accusing Tsutsui Junkei, resulting in Akiyama Ayako objecting, Kojiri instructing Yasuke to attack Joken Hokkyo, and a violent melee ensucing. Once Joken Hokkyo’s men have been handled, players must pursue the monk and finally eliminate him.
