Embarking on the Tea Ceremony quest in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* offers an intricate journey that demands skillful navigation and strategic dialogue choices. Here’s a detailed guide on how to successfully complete the Tea Ceremony and the optimal responses to select.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Tea Ceremony Answers
As you progress through this quest, you'll find yourself engaging in pivotal conversations with various NPCs. Your initial interaction will be with Imai Sokyu, where you'll have the option to say either, "The tea ceremony is a spiritual experience" or "It's a place to make contacts." Both choices are valid, so feel free to select the one that resonates with you the most.
Following this, you will interact with three guests at the ceremony. Here are the ideal 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 won't have significant repercussions, except for the decision regarding whom to confront—Otama or Wakasa. Even if you make a mistake during the ceremony itself, you might only receive disapproving glances from the guests or Sokyu, but the overall outcome of the quest remains unchanged.
Choosing to confront Otama leads you to pursue her at the quest's end, only to discover that although corrupt, she is not the Golden Teppo you seek. This triggers the "Defensive Position" quest, where Naoe continues the search for Wakasa.
Conversely, opting to confront Wakasa results in her inviting Naoe to her home, initiating the "Drive the Point Home" quest, and the story unfolds as expected.
