The Tea Ceremony is an essential early main quest in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* that involves intricate dialogue choices and actions. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to navigate the Tea Ceremony and the optimal responses to select.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Tea Ceremony Answers
Throughout the quest, you'll encounter various dialogue options as you interact with different NPCs. Your initial conversation is with Imai Sokyu, where you'll 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 engage 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 Tea Ceremony won't significantly impact the quest's outcome. You might receive disapproving glances from the guests or Sokyu if you mishandle the ceremony, but the quest will progress as intended.
However, the choice between confronting Otama or Wakasa does have consequences. Choosing to confront Otama leads you to discover that she's corrupt but not the Golden Teppo you're after. This triggers the quest "Defensive Position," where Naoe then seeks out Wakasa.
On the other hand, opting to confront Wakasa results in her inviting Naoe to her home, initiating the quest "Drive the Point Home," and the story continues as expected.
