Complete Chef Hong Main Quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows: A Guide

The Chef Hong main quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows serves as a brief yet essential diversion amidst the larger, more chaotic narrative. It follows shortly after the completion of the Red Walls quest, leading players back into the vibrant streets of Wakasa, specifically in the central Obama district.

To embark on this quest, open the Objectives Board, navigate down to the Shinbakufu category, and you’ll find the mission waiting for you. Below is a comprehensive guide to navigating through this main quest.

Finding Chef Hong

Locating Chef Hong is straightforward, but there is a little nuance to it. Head to the middle of Obama and search for a street adorned with red lanterns. This area is bustling with vendors and various NPCs engaged in their daily routines.

Look for a shop that is open and spacious rather than a crowded, dimly lit stall. Once you’re nearby, pressing the ‘Observe’ button will reveal numerous blue dots, indicating you’re in the right spot. Enter this more expansive shop to initiate the scene with Chef Hong.

Engaging in Dialogue Choices

During your interaction, Chef Hong will present you with two delicious meal options:

  • Rice with vegetables
  • A steaming bowl of udon

Select whichever dish entices you; your choice won’t affect the quest outcome. After enjoying your meal, Chef Hong will inquire about the experience, offering two potential responses:

  • The noodles were delicious.
  • They could use some improvement.

Again, your response is purely aesthetic; pick whatever aligns with your inner food critic. Following this chat, you’ll need to choose which character to control: either Naoe or Yasuke, concluding this segment of the quest.

In addition to a well-deserved break from combat, you will earn 1000 EXP and make significant progress in the Shinbakufu storyline. This quest seamlessly bridges the narrative from Nagahide’s arc, enhancing the dramatic tension building in Wakasa.

While the Chef Hong quest is not laden with spectacular action sequences, it holds valuable narrative significance within Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Therefore, it’s a mission you definitely do not want to overlook.
