In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Dress for Success is a side-mission where you get yourself a Kosode, a set of clothes for a future tea ceremony. This is an important mission towards the Golden Teppo quest under The Onryo missions. To get the Kosode, you will need to assist a merchant by stealing the stolen silk from a pirate ship. Along the way, you’ll be asked to make choices that, while not earth-shattering, will impact the character dialogue. This walkthrough will lead you through each step so that you’ll be able to finish the quest and acquire the Kosode successfully.
“Dress for Success” Quest
The Dress for Success quest becomes available alongside The Perfect Gift after completing the story mission Searching Sakai. In this quest, Naoe is tasked with finding a Kosode in preparation for a tea ceremony that her target might attend. Acquiring the Kosode is a key step in the Dress for Success quest, helping you progress toward the Golden Teppo target as part of The Onryo objectives in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Meeting The Merchant
In order to acquire the Kosode, you’ll need to undertake some tasks beginning with encountering a merchant and combating some pirates. Make your way down to the south end of Sakai’s port, past the Money Changer District, and you will come across a woman merchant near a shop across the water. She will explain her stolen cloth and request that you assist her in recovering it from a pirate ship.
Retrieving The Stolen Silk
The swiped silk is on a boat that sails to the far west, which you can board by riding one of the boats along the shore. Once you are on board, you have a choice between fighting off the pirates or sneaking by them to steal the silk without them noticing. After getting it, go back to the merchant to finish the mission.
Where To Get The Kosode
To acquire a Kosode for Imai Sokyu’s Tea Ceremony, speak to the merchant once more, and you will have an option between a red Chinese silk Kosode or a black Portuguese silk Kosode. Although your choice won’t affect the game much, it will somewhat alter the way characters behave for the remainder of the quest. That’s how you get a Kosode in the “Dress for Success” quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
