In *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, the Tea Ceremony is one of the pivotal early main quests that requires careful navigation through dialogue choices. Here's a detailed guide on how to successfully complete the Tea Ceremony and the correct answers to select.
During the quest, you'll engage in conversations with various NPCs, starting with Imai Sokyu. You'll have two options: "The tea ceremony is a spiritual experience" or "It’s a place to make contacts." Both choices are acceptable, so feel free to pick the one that resonates with you.
Next, you'll interact with the three guests at the ceremony. Here are the correct 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 |
Most dialogue options during the ceremony have no significant consequences, except for the choice between confronting Otama or Wakasa. Even if you mishandle the ceremony, you may only 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 you seek. This leads to the quest "Defensive Position," where Naoe decides to pursue Wakasa instead.
On the other hand, choosing to confront Wakasa results in her inviting Naoe to her home, initiating the quest "Drive the Point Home," and the story continues as expected.
