Embarking on the Tea Ceremony quest in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is an early yet pivotal mission that involves some strategic decision-making. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to navigate through the Tea Ceremony and the optimal dialogue choices to select.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Tea Ceremony Answers
Throughout the quest, you’ll engage in conversations with various NPCs, starting with Imai Sokyu. You’ll be presented with two initial 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 your character’s persona.
Following this, you’ll interact with three guests at the ceremony. Here 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 dialogue choices during the Tea Ceremony won’t have significant repercussions, except for the final decision on whom to confront. If you mishandle the ceremony itself, you may receive disapproving glances from the guests or Sokyu, but the quest’s outcome remains unchanged.
Choosing to confront Otama will lead you on a hunt, culminating in the discovery that she was corrupt but not the Golden Teppo. This initiates the quest *Defensive Position*, prompting Naoe to seek Wakasa instead.
Conversely, if you decide to confront Wakasa, she will invite Naoe to her home, triggering the quest *Drive the Point Home*, and the storyline will continue as usual.
