The Rising the Tide quest is a main quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, set in the later course of the game.

This article covers everything you need to know for completing the Rising Tide mission in AC SHadows.

Details of the Rising Tide Main Mission in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

To begin the Rising Tide mission in AC Shadows, head to the Objectives tab and scroll down to the Onryo group. Afterwards, select this quest under the Shinbakufu heading. Use the Ogura Peak fast-travel point to arrive at the Oyamazaki village.

The Rising Tide mission in Assassins’s Creed Shadows is an easy one. All you need is to follow the cutscene to the end. The mission has only one objective: to wait for Ise Sadaoki to arrive.

Wait for Ise Sadaoki

Dive into Ogura Pond and swim across. Afterward, take a sharp right turn to climb uphill and reach Iwashimizu Hashiman Shrine. Jump over the shrine’s fence to trigger a cutscene. In the scene, there is an ongoing sumo match, surrounded by numerous spectators, including Naoe and Yasuke.

Yasuke will be fully focused on the match when Naoe alerts him. Soon, a stranger will interrupt them and draw their attention towards the ongoing fight. He will further add that winning a battle takes both muscle and mind. This opens up a dialogue for both the protagonists:

• The real threat is the mind. – Yasuke
• The real threat is strength. – Naoe

Choose whichever option you want, as the choice does not affect the outcome. Afterwards, Naoe asks the stranger about the winner of the current sumo match. Then, after answering this, the stranger will leave the vicinity.

Later, Naoe and Yasuke realise that the stranger is Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the unseated Shogun. Soon, the match is over, and the Rising Tide mission in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is complete.
