Quest Overview

Setting: Kyoto, Japan (1581).
Main Character: Yasuke
Objective: follow Father Valignano to a meeting with Oda Nobunaga.

Walkthrough

Follow Akechi Mitsuhide

As soon as the opening cutscene ends, you will take control of Yasuke. Your first goal is to search for Akechi Mitsuhide through the streets of Kyoto.

Move ahead using the left thumbstick (controller) or WASD (keyboard).
As you move further, take in the bustling the city surroundings.
Once you reach the steps at the end of the walkway, another cutscene will play.

Dialogue Choices

At this time, you will be given two dialogue options:

"I understand you well."
"Say nothing."

If you select "Say nothing," further dialogue options will appear:

"I was following Valignano's orders."
"I am still learning your language and customs."

Regardless of your choice, the end will be the same. Yasuke is liberated from Father Valignano's service and assigned to serve for Oda Nobunaga.

Meeting with Nobunaga

Following the conversation, Nobunaga dismisses Valignano and meets with Yasuke alone. Shortly later, Valignano returns with a request, which Nobunaga granted. This is the end of "The Lord's Favor."

Move to the Next Quest

After the cutscene, a quick Animus transition screen appears, bringing you right into the following mission, "Spirit of a Warrior," which begins with a harsh battle.
