Embarking on the Tea Ceremony quest in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is a pivotal early challenge that requires finesse and strategic dialogue choices. Here’s a detailed guide on how to navigate the Tea Ceremony and the best answers to select to ensure a successful outcome.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Tea Ceremony Answers
Throughout the Tea Ceremony quest, you will engage in conversations with various NPCs, starting with Imai Sokyu. When speaking with Sokyu, you'll be presented with two dialogue options: "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.
Following your interaction with Sokyu, you'll need to converse 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 of the dialogue choices during the Tea Ceremony have no significant consequences, except for the decision to confront either Otama or Wakasa. If you mishandle the ceremony, you may receive disapproving looks from the guests or Sokyu, but the quest's outcome remains unchanged.
Choosing to confront Otama leads to a quest called Defensive Position. You'll discover that Otama, though corrupt, isn't the Golden Teppo you're after, prompting Naoe to pursue Wakasa instead.
On the other hand, if you opt to confront Wakasa, she will invite Naoe to her home, initiating the quest Drive the Point Home, allowing the story to progress as intended.
