In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the Tea Ceremony is an early main quest that requires careful navigation through a series of dialogue choices. Here's a detailed guide on how to successfully complete the Tea Ceremony and the correct responses to choose.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Tea Ceremony Answers
During the quest, you'll engage in conversations with various NPCs, starting with Imai Sokyu. You'll be presented with two options: "The tea ceremony is a spiritual experience" or "It’s a place to make contacts." Both are valid, so select the one that resonates with you.
Next, you'll interact with three guests at the ceremony. Below are the correct 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 Tea Ceremony have no significant impact on the quest's outcome. Even if you mishandle the ceremony, you might receive disapproving glances from the guests or Sokyu, but the quest remains unaffected.
However, the choice of whom to confront—Otama or Wakasa—does matter. If you confront Otama, you'll pursue her, only to discover she's corrupt but not the Golden Teppo you're seeking. This leads to the quest "Defensive Position," where Naoe continues the search for Wakasa.
Conversely, choosing to confront Wakasa results in her inviting Naoe to her home, initiating the quest "Drive the Point Home," and the story progresses as expected.
