Embarking on the Tea Ceremony quest in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is a pivotal moment that requires finesse and strategic dialogue choices. Here's a detailed guide on how to successfully navigate this quest, along with the optimal answers to select.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Tea Ceremony Answers
During the Tea Ceremony quest, you'll engage in a series of conversations with various NPCs, starting with Imai Sokyu. Your initial dialogue choice will be between “The tea ceremony is a spiritual experience” or “It’s a place to make contacts.” Both options are acceptable, so feel free to choose the one that resonates with you.
Following this, 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 options in the Tea Ceremony quest have no significant consequences, except for the decision to confront either Otama or Wakasa. Even if you make mistakes during the ceremony, you may receive disapproving glances from the guests or Sokyu, but these won't alter the quest's outcome.
If you decide to confront Otama, you'll pursue her at the quest's end, only to discover she's corrupt but not the Golden Teppo you're seeking. This leads to the quest "Defensive Position," where Naoe continues the search for Wakasa.
Conversely, choosing to confront Wakasa will lead her to invite Naoe to her home, initiating the quest "Drive the Point Home," and the story will progress as intended.
