*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* delivers the long-awaited feudal Japan setting fans have been clamoring for since the series began, and it's nothing short of spectacular. With a vast array of activities to engage in—or deliberately avoid—one question that might cross your mind is whether you can climb the torii gates in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. Here's what you need to know.
Can You Climb the Torii Gates in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?
To get straight to the point, yes, you can indeed climb the torii gates scattered throughout *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. However, climbing them won't trigger any special gameplay events.
Early in the game, as you take control of Naoe and explore the expansive open world, you'll encounter Shinto shrines marked by torii gates. The game advises against climbing these gates to respect their sanctity, yet it's possible to ascend to the top if you feel the urge. Doing so won't uncover any hidden treasures or gameplay advantages; it's simply an option for those who want to defy the game's suggestion.
Why Shouldn’t You Climb the Torii Gates?
In Japanese culture and Shinto beliefs, torii gates serve as portals where spirits pass between the sacred and the profane. These gates warrant a sense of reverence when you pass through them, and climbing over them would be seen as disrespectful. This cultural significance is why the game explicitly advises players against climbing them.
While there are no in-game repercussions for scaling these gates, it's important to honor the cultural context and show respect by not doing so.
That covers everything you need to know about climbing the torii gates in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and insights on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
