In *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, the Tea Ceremony is an essential early main quest that involves intricate dialogue and actions. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to successfully navigate and complete the Tea Ceremony, including the correct answers to choose.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Tea Ceremony Answers
During the Tea Ceremony quest, you'll engage in conversations with various NPCs, starting with Imai Sokyu. Your initial choice is between "The tea ceremony is a spiritual experience" and "It’s a place to make contacts." Both options are acceptable, so select the one that aligns with your character's persona.
Next, you'll interact with three guests at the ceremony. Here are the optimal 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 options in the Tea Ceremony have no lasting consequences, except for the choice between confronting Otama or Wakasa. Even if you mishandle the ceremony, you might receive disapproving looks from the guests or Sokyu, but the quest's outcome remains unchanged.
If you decide to confront Otama, you'll track her down only to discover she's corrupt but not the Golden Teppo. This leads to the quest "Defensive Position," where Naoe continues the search for Wakasa.
Conversely, choosing to confront Wakasa results in her inviting Naoe to her home, initiating the quest "Drive the Point Home," and the story progresses as intended.
