In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the Tea Ceremony is an essential early main quest that requires strategic dialogue choices and actions. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to successfully navigate the Tea Ceremony and the optimal responses to choose.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Tea Ceremony Answers
During the quest, you'll engage in conversations with various NPCs. Your first dialogue will be with Imai Sokyu, where you can choose between "The tea ceremony is a spiritual experience" or "It's a place to make contacts." Both options are acceptable, so select the one that resonates with your character's perspective.
Next, you'll interact with the 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 ceremony do not have significant consequences, except for the decision to confront Otama or Wakasa. Even if you mishandle the ceremony itself, you might receive disapproving glances from the guests or Sokyu, but the quest's outcome remains unchanged.
If you choose to confront Otama, you will pursue her only to discover that, while corrupt, she is not the Golden Teppo you seek. This leads to the quest "Defensive Position," where Naoe decides to search for Wakasa regardless.
Conversely, if you opt to confront Wakasa, she will invite Naoe to her home, initiating the quest "Drive the Point Home," and the story will continue as usual.
