In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the Tea Ceremony is an essential early main quest that involves navigating through various dialogue choices to progress. Here's a detailed guide on how to successfully complete the Tea Ceremony, along with the optimal responses to choose.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Tea Ceremony Answers
During the Tea Ceremony quest, you'll engage in conversations with several NPCs, starting with Imai Sokyu. You'll be presented with the following options:
- "The tea ceremony is a spiritual experience"
- "It’s a place to make contacts"
Both choices are acceptable, so feel free to select the one that aligns with your character's perspective.
Next, you'll interact with three guests at the ceremony. Here are the recommended 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 consequences. Even if you make mistakes during the ceremony itself, you might receive disapproving glances from the guests or Sokyu, 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 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 decides to search for Wakasa anyway.
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.
