In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the Tea Ceremony is one of the pivotal early main quests that demands careful navigation through a series of dialogue choices. Here's a detailed guide on how to successfully complete the Tea Ceremony and the best answers to select.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Tea Ceremony Answers
Throughout the quest, you'll engage in conversations with various NPCs, beginning with Imai Sokyu. Your initial choice will be between "The tea ceremony is a spiritual experience" and "It’s a place to make contacts." Both options are acceptable, so feel free to choose the one that resonates with you.
Following this, you'll interact with three guests at the ceremony. Below are the optimal responses for each:
Guest/Prompt | Response |
---|---|
Otama | “I had a good teacher” or “I know the son well” |
Wakasa | “I’m new to Sakai” “I didn’t say where I was from” |
Satoko | N/A |
Completing the ceremony | “Turn bowl right twice” |
Confront Otama or Wakasa | Wakasa |
What Happens If You Pick the Wrong Answers?
Most dialogue choices during the ceremony won't have significant repercussions. Even if you mishandle the ceremony, you might receive some disapproving glances from the guests or Sokyu, but the quest's outcome remains unchanged.
However, the decision to confront either Otama or Wakasa does matter. If you confront Otama, you'll track her down only to discover she's corrupt but not the Golden Teppo you're after. This triggers the quest "Defensive Position," leading Naoe to pursue Wakasa anyway.
On the other hand, choosing to confront Wakasa results in her inviting Naoe to her home, initiating the quest "Drive the Point Home," and the story continues as expected.
