Overview of the Wolves and Foxes Quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
The Wolves and Foxes quest marks an early, pivotal challenge within Naoe’s storyline in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Players are tasked with aiding an Igan battalion in their fight against Mitsuhide’s forces. Following the fierce battle, Tokugawa expresses his gratitude to Yasuke and Naoe for their critical assistance. After this initial interaction, players face a crucial decision: respond as Naoe, advocating for swift action, or as Yasuke, promoting a more cautious approach. Let’s delve into the implications of this choice.
Initiating the Wolves and Foxes Quest
To unlock the Wolves and Foxes quest, players must first complete the Before the Fall quest. Following this, they will travel to the Little Leaf Glade in the Yamashiro province, where they are tasked with joining Tokugawa Ieyasu to defend Igan soldiers from Mitsuhide’s battalion.
Upon arriving, you will find Igan warriors engaged in a fierce battle within the glade. Your primary objective is to defeat all enemy soldiers before approaching Tokugawa. After clearing the area of Mitsuhide’s forces, players are prompted to converse with Tokugawa.
Considering Patience with Tokugawa
During the dialogue, Tokugawa acknowledges the contribution of Naoe and Yasuke, which facilitated their victory. He reveals a strategic shift where they plan to retreat from Mitsuhide’s rule, aided by Hattori Hanzo, while awaiting the perfect moment to counterattack. Players will soon face a dialogue choice: Yasuke advises patience with “We will be patient,”while Naoe argues, “Patience will not stop Mitsuhide.”
Selecting Yasuke’s Response: “We Will Be Patient”
If players choose Yasuke’s response, he will reference his mother’s wisdom: “Haste leads to waste.”Tokugawa agrees with this notion and elaborates on his strategy, emphasizing that their ultimate aim is achieving peace and stability.
Selecting Naoe’s Response: “Patience Will Not Stop Mitsuhide”
Conversely, if the player opts for Naoe’s response, he will emphasize that Mitsuhide’s aggressive tactics differ significantly from their vision. Despite this, Tokugawa reiterates the critical importance of patience in their ongoing struggle.
While both responses offer slightly varied dialogue, they lead to the same overarching outcome in the Wolves and Foxes quest. The progression of the narrative remains unaffected by which choice you make in this instance.
