In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the Tea Ceremony is an early main quest that involves intricate social navigation. Here’s a detailed guide on how to successfully complete the Tea Ceremony and the optimal dialogue choices to make.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Tea Ceremony Answers
Throughout this quest, you'll encounter several dialogue options while conversing with various NPCs. Your initial interaction will be with Imai Sokyu, where you must choose between “The tea ceremony is a spiritual experience” or “It’s a place to make contacts.” Both options are acceptable, so feel free to select the one that resonates with you.
Subsequently, you’ll engage 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 have no significant impact on the quest's outcome. You may receive disapproving glances from the guests or Sokyu if you mishandle the ceremony, but the quest progresses regardless.
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 shifts focus to find Wakasa.
Conversely, if you confront Wakasa, she'll invite Naoe to her home, initiating the quest "Drive the Point Home," and the story will continue as expected.
