As you travel around the world in Assassin's Creed: Shadows, you might encounter a random lady who asks you, "Which Province is the Seashell from?"
A number of the random encounters are riddles; one example is the Seashell Riddle, a minor event located in the Katano Region, where players must determine the correct answer to the Noble Woman's question. Many of these riddles and random encounters will offer you the choice of additional Scout uses or uncovering World Rumors for players.
Here's the answer to the Seashell Riddle given by the Old Woman.
Which Province is the Seashell from Assassin's Creed Shadows Riddle
The Old Lady with the Seashell Riddle appears near the Katano Kakurega (the Hideout in the area). She then challenges players with the question: 'If you're so clever, then answer this. From which province is the seashell?'
Players have three possible answers to choose from, with Wakasa being the correct one. Below are the available options, with the last one being the right answer to her riddle.
- It must be from Omi.
- It is from Kyoto.
- I believe it's from Wakasa. (Answer)
Players will be offered the same two reward options that all random encounters offer:
- Refresh your scouts
- World Rumour/Knowledge
Pro tip: If you play on Guided Mode, then the Scout refresh is the better option. If not, then World Rumour is the best option.
That's it; the encounter is complete, and you can move on with your life, and maybe you'll encounter more Riddles on your adventure.
