At the end of the Searching Sakai mission in Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, you are getting set up for a tea ceremony with Imai Sokyu, but are lacking a few things. One of those things happens to be the proper dress for the situation, called a kosode (the predescessor to the modern-day kimono). Your goal in this mission is to acquire a kosode, although it’s not going to be as simple as it sounds.
(1 of 2) You’ll find the kosode merchant towards the southwestern corner of Sakai.

Kosode Location¶
When you begin this quest, you will see a hint that kosode are sold in the southwestern portion of Sakai. You will have to venture close to the southwestern corner of the town here to find the merchant (remember to look for the blue dot when using Observe); she is stirring something in a big pot. When you speak to her, you’ll find out that she can make you one, but it’ll be ready in a week. It seems some pirates have stopped a shipment of silk from being delivered, so the delay is because of them.
Retrieve the Silks¶
You know the pirates have stopped the shipment of silks, which means they likely stole them, so you’re going to get them back. Open your map and you’ll see that the pirates are located just off the shore of Sakai, but there are a number of boats parked in the port. Looking at the situation, there are two boats that are bigger than all the others, one of which has a Viewpoint at the top of it. If you get close to that boat and use your Eagle Vision, you’ll notice nothing is on it (there is a chest with some loot, if you want it).
That leaves the other boat and there will be some pirates on that one. To be exact, there are five pirates on the boat, two of which are positioned at the front and back. Those should be the first two you take out, since they are ranged enemies. Two others are next to each other in the center of the ship, while one more will be patrolling the vessel. Note that if left unalerted, then the two in the center of the ship should be standing next to some explosive pots. Time a ranged weapon when the bigger enemy walks by the same area, which should take out all three.
(1 of 3) The big ship with the enemies on it is the one you want to board.
Should you be seen, take out the lesser enemies first and leave the bigger enemy for last. His attacks should all be unblockable, so you’ll have to dodge. Once the coast is clear, loot the ship of all of its goodies, then locate the main chest in the center for the Bale of Silk. Bring this back to the merchant and you’ll get a choice of a Red Silk Kosode or Black Silk Kosode. It doesn’t really matter, so pick one to end the mission.
