The Stray Dogs is the final quest youll need to complete to recruit Yaya the monk as an ally in Assassins Creed Shadows. In it, you need to find a Kanzashi that was stolen by a guy named Tetsuo.In this Assassins Creed Shadows guide, well give you a full Stray Dogs quest walkthrough, including where to find the Kanzashi and if you should side with Yaya or Tetsuo.Where to find Yaya in The Stray DogsThe first thing you need to do in The Stray Dogs is find Yaya after Heads Will Roll the pre-requisite quest, which youll complete during the assassination of The Wounded. Youll find her north of Sakai, in the western part of Osaka, in the Fishermans District. The objective is a straight shot north from the Sakai Kakurega.Once you reach the city area, youll find Yaya doing what she does best: smashing heads. Help her kill the remaining enemies and then talk to her. Should you punish or forgive the shrine raider in The Stray Dogs?While youre talking with Yaya, youll be asked to pass some judgement on a shrine raider who has as the name suggests stolen from a shrine.Just like in Heads Will Roll, youll be given a bit of a false choice here.If you say we forgive him, you and Yaya will agree and send the raider away.If you say we punish him, Yaya will push back and suggest that you spare him so he can learn a lesson. Regardless of what you pick, the thief is spared.Despite a notification saying this will impact Yaya, we were able to recruit her as an ally at the end of the mission both when we voted to punish the thief and when we replayed the mission and voted to save him. But if youre trying to make Yaya as happy as possible, we suggest you go for forgiveness especially if you angered Yaya during Heads Will Roll by voting to execute the guards.Kanzashi location in The Stray DogsAfter talking to Yaya and following her, shell send you to find a Kanzashi, which is being held in the Church of Takatsuki.Travel to the Takatsuki Kakurega and head directly west. Youll find a little fort area that has guards posted outside. Climb the walls and hang out on the rooftops. On the eastern side of the fort (to the right from the front gate), youll find a tall building that has a large stone Christian cross stuck into its front yard.Enter the building via the front door or a window on the top floor. On the main floor of the church, youll find Tetsuo. Confront him and hell run from you.At this point youll be told to chase Tetsuo. But this isnt like other Assassins Creed games where the goal is to catch up and assassinate the poor guy. Instead, just follow close behind until he reaches the edge of town, where Yaya will come out of nowhere to lay his ass out.Should you side with Yaya or Tetsuo in The Stray Dogs?Youll be given another dialogue choice here where you can say you need to forgive each other to Yaya and Tetsuo, or you can tell Yaya you need to take responsibility. Your choice changes Yayas dialogue slightly, but wont impact the actual quest at all, despite the this will impact Yaya warning.After you resolve things with Tetsuo, youll be given another dialogue wheel, and this choice actually matters.If you say lets work together, Yaya will join you at the Hideout (and in-combat, on a cooldown) as an ally.If you say I wish you well, she wont become an ally.Yaya is very good at knocking enemies over, which can be a huge boon if you get into combat as Naoe, so we highly recommend you pick her up as an ally. Once you tell her to join you, youll finish the quest and Yaya will join your crew.For moreAssassins Creed Shadowsguides, see our running lists ofLost Pages,Kuji-kiri, andarmorlocations.
