Reach the Sakafuneishi ruins
To track The Meaning of the Blade, navigate to the Objectives Board. Scroll to the Naoe group and select the quest under Naoe (Assassins).
Find the Sakafuneishi ruins in the Asuka Rock Basin in the Yamato region.
Interact with the rock that has the Assassins symbol.
Find what lies in the ruins
Head down and turn right.
Interact with the platform in front of you.
Follow Hattori Hanzo
You can activate auto-follow if you wish.
When he stops, interact with him.
He presents a couple dialogue options:
- [You sacrificed Tsuyu’s mission.]
- [You sacrificed Tsuyu’s family.]
Then:
- [Forgive Hanzo]
- [Attack Hanzo]
If you choose to attack him, you get a second chance to decide:
- [Forgive Hanzo]
- [Kill Hanzo]
No matter what happens, you end up forgiving Hanzo and he lives. The only difference is you fight Hanzo if you choose “kill Hanzo” before the end of the quest.
This finishes The Meaning of the Blade in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
