In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the Tea Ceremony is one of the initial main quests that requires careful navigation. Here's a detailed guide on how to successfully complete the Tea Ceremony, including the correct answers to choose.
During the Tea Ceremony quest, you'll engage in multiple conversations with NPCs, starting with Imai Sokyu. When speaking with Sokyu, you'll have the option to say, "The tea ceremony is a spiritual experience" or "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. Here 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 |
Most dialogue choices during the Tea Ceremony have no significant consequences. You might receive disapproving looks from the guests or Sokyu if you make mistakes during the ceremony, but the quest's outcome remains unchanged.
However, the choice between confronting Otama or Wakasa does matter. If you choose to confront Otama, you'll track her down, 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.
On the other hand, if you opt to confront Wakasa, she'll invite Naoe to her home, initiating the quest "Drive the Point Home," and the story will continue as expected.
