In *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, the Tea Ceremony is an essential early main quest that requires careful navigation through dialogue choices. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to successfully complete the Tea Ceremony and the optimal dialogue options to select.
Assassin's Creed Shadows Tea Ceremony Answers
During the quest, you'll engage in conversations with various NPCs, starting with Imai Sokyu. You'll have the option to choose between "The tea ceremony is a spiritual experience" or "It’s a place to make contacts." Both choices are acceptable, so feel free to select the one that resonates with you.
Next, 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 during the Tea Ceremony won't affect the quest's outcome significantly. You might receive disapproving looks from the guests or Imai Sokyu if you mishandle the ceremony, but it won't alter the quest's progression.
However, the choice of whom to confront at the end—Otama or Wakasa—has consequences. If you choose to confront Otama, you'll discover that she is corrupt but not the Golden Teppo you're seeking. This leads to the quest "Defensive Position," where Naoe then searches for Wakasa.
On the other hand, if you decide to confront Wakasa, she'll invite Naoe to her home, initiating the quest "Drive the Point Home," and the story will continue as expected.
