How to recruit Yaya – Assassin’s Creed Shadows

by

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the first character you can potentially enlist as an ally is Yaya. She’s quite formidable in combat, charging through adversaries and creating a great diversion while you stealthily eliminate high-value targets. Despite her strong-willed nature, Yaya holds a particular perspective on the world. To win her cooperation, you’ll need to appeal to her understanding and compassion.

Best choices to recruit Yaya in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

At three crucial points, you’ll find yourself facing moral dilemmas, and Yaya will provide her guidance. These situations will arise post your encounter with Wada Koretaka’s troops.

  • During the “Heads Will Roll” quest, forgive the surviving enemies and pick the “Killing them is not justice” dialogue option. Mitsumune will make some pretty solid arguments for chopping off heads, but ignore him.
  • During the “Stray Dogs” quest that you can do for Yaya on the Objectives screen, make sure you let the shrine thief go free at the end.
  • When you exploring what happened at the Church of Takatsuki, make sure you recover the kanazashi from Tetsuo. You can find him in the church itself, which is located in Senri Hills in the south of Takatsuki. He will run, so follow him, and then Yaya will appear and intercept him. Tell them that they need to forgive each other. After that, tell Yaya that you should work together, and she will be recruited to your cause.

In confrontations, Yaya tends to exhibit a somewhat aggressive behavior, leveraging her powers to shove opponents, send them tumbling, and deliver swift kicks. She excels when utilizing abilities that grant additional damage to enemies already on the ground.
