Upon encountering Gennojo, a charismatic thief with a penchant for flirting with Naoe in the narrative of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players unlock a unique questline that explores Gennojo’s troubled history and quest for vengeance. This questline unfolds through several missions, culminating in the pivotal final mission titled “Godless Harvest.”At this critical juncture, Naoe faces a choice that will ultimately determine Gennojo’s fate and whether he will become a valuable ally within the league.
Locating the Rice in the Godless Harvest Quest
The “Godless Harvest”quest marks the final chapter of Gennojo’s storyline in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This mission prompts Naoe to venture into the castle in Kyoto, the site of Gennojo’s tragic past where his parents were murdered. The main task is to infiltrate the Nijo Palace to locate the hidden rice.
To start, players should approach the palace gates directly located behind Gennojo. Crossing the bridge leads into a hostile environment filled with patrolling enemies, necessitating a stealthy approach to avoid conflict.
Once inside, navigate to the northern section of the Nijo Palace. Utilizing Naoe’s Eagle Vision ability, players can identify the blue dot indicating the rice sack’s location. After collecting the rice, Gennojo joins Naoe, escalating the mission into an exhilarating boss battle against Tatsugoro.
Deciding Gennojo’s Fate: Soothe, Stop, or Ignore
Post the defeat of Tatsugoro, Gennojo’s simmering rage leads him to prepare explosives for a destructive act against the shed. Here, players face a critical choice: soothe Gennojo’s anger, forcibly intervene, or take no action in the game.
Choosing Between Soothe and Stop
Opting to “Stop Gennojo”results in Naoe stealthily disarming him before he can detonate the explosives. This confrontational choice caters to players who prefer to keep Naoe away from any romantic entanglements with Gennojo.
Conversely, selecting the “Soothe Gennojo”option embraces a more diplomatic strategy, where Naoe engages in a meaningful dialogue to calm Gennojo. By relating to his emotions, Naoe successfully persuades him to abandon the explosives.
Regardless of the chosen path, both outcomes ultimately lead to the same conclusion: Gennojo becomes a member of the league in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
The Consequences of Inaction
If players decide on the “Do Nothing”option, Naoe refrains from intervening. Consequently, Gennojo, engulfed in his fury, enters the shed, resulting in a deadly explosion that claims his life. This detrimental choice denies players the opportunity to recruit Gennojo as an ally in the league.
