Should you help with the Fukui Curse in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

The Fukui Curse in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is an affliction (real or imagined) that affects some of the people you’ll meet. These are people you’ll run into along the side of the road who have all had some sort of bad luck and blame the curse.

Our Assassin’s Creed Shadows guide will tell you if you should help people with the Fukui Curse.

Should you with the Fukui Curse in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

When you’re out riding around in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you’ll sometimes pass by people who need your help. Sometimes they just need some resources or rations. A lot of the time, you’ll just spot someone being abused by bandits or ronin.

Every once in a while, though, you’ll talk to someone who insists they’re under a Fukui Curse. They’ll usually have a story about bad luck or accidents and blame their curse. You’ll get the option to help them — usually to give mon — or refuse.

Always refuse to help them.

They’ll explain why you’re right not to help, and then they’ll reward you with either a World Rumor — the location of a point of interest to go check out — or Scout Intel that refills one of your scouts. (These, by the way, are the same rewards you get for helping most people.)
