In the immersive realm of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players are beckoned to participate in a variety of world events, enriching their gaming experience. One intriguing encounter can be discovered in the Izumi Settsu province, where players have the opportunity to tackle a riddle for a chance at extra Mon.
The NPC associated with this riddle can appear in varied locations, often within or near Sakai, but they may also be found in more isolated areas, offering a surprising twist to players’ explorations.
I Am Sucked in from the Bottom and Let Out from the Mouth. What Am I?
Upon agreeing to the NPC’s wager, players will be presented with a riddle that challenges their wit: “I am sucked in from the bottom and let out from the mouth.”Among the three answer choices, the correct response is “Is it tobacco smoke?”. Selecting one of the incorrect options will cost players 100 Mon.
You Can Keep the Mon or I Want My Mon?
After correctly answering the riddle, the NPC may attempt to withdraw from the wager, insisting they need the funds to settle debts. If players choose “I want my Mon,”they will receive 100 Mon. Alternatively, if they opt for “You can keep the Mon,”the NPC will compensate with either Scout Intel or World Rumor—a strategic decision in the game’s context. Given the relatively easy acquisition of Mon in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, it may be more beneficial to allow the NPC to retain the funds.
For players who haven’t deployed any scouts since the last seasonal shift, permitting the NPC to hold onto the money automatically secures a World Rumor. Conversely, those who have uncovered all points of interest on the map will be rewarded with Scout Intel, enhancing their gameplay experience.
