In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the Tea Ceremony is an essential early main quest that requires careful navigation through dialogue and actions. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to successfully complete the Tea Ceremony and the optimal responses to choose.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Tea Ceremony Answers
During this quest, you'll engage in conversations with various NPCs, starting with Imai Sokyu. Your first dialogue choice is between “The tea ceremony is a spiritual experience” and “It’s a place to make contacts.” Both options are acceptable, so select the one that aligns with your character’s perspective.
Next, you’ll interact with three guests at the ceremony. Below are the recommended responses for each guest:
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 won’t significantly impact the quest’s outcome. You might receive disapproving glances from the guests or Sokyu if you make mistakes during the ceremony itself, but these won’t alter the quest’s progression.
However, the choice between confronting Otama or Wakasa does have consequences. If you choose Otama, you’ll pursue her, only to discover she isn’t the Golden Teppo you’re after. This leads to the quest "Defensive Position," where Naoe then seeks out Wakasa.
On the other hand, confronting Wakasa leads her to invite Naoe to her home, initiating the quest "Drive the Point Home," and the story continues as intended.
