You will meet a variety of different characters during your journey in Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, but there are a select few that are considered special. These special NPCs are characters that your protagonists can actually romance during the course of their respective quests. One of the first characters you will likely meet, and even romance, is a thief by the name of Gennojo. This page will detail how to unlock Gennojo, as well as which answers to give to start the romance with him.
Gennojo is one of the characters that Naoe can romance during the game.
Unlocking Gennojo¶
As mentioned above, Gennojo is a thief that you will meet during the course of the main story. In fact, once you kill your first two story targets upon reaching the open world, you will join forces with Yasuke and open up more options for quests. One of these picks is the Shinbakufu simply named The Fool. This will start the quest called The Bad Brother, after which, two more missions will become unlocked. The important one here is called Missing Missive, which is where you will finally meet Gennojo.
Note that you should be controlling Naoe during said quest, as that is where you can start the romance with Gennojo. You can also avoid a combat encounter with Gennojo by using Naoe during the same quest, since one of the options for her just has him forfeiting that battle. After that first encounter, you won’t meet Gennojo again until the end of Lost Honor. When you complete that, you’ll unlock his own series of quests, with romance choices during the first three of them. Look below for all of the answers you’ll want to give to have that relationship with Gennojo.
All Gennojo Romance Answers¶
