In *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, the Tea Ceremony quest is one of your early main missions that requires careful navigation through various dialogue choices. Here's a detailed guide on how to successfully complete the Tea Ceremony and the correct answers to choose.
During the quest, you'll engage in conversations with multiple NPCs, starting with Imai Sokyu. You'll have to choose between "The tea ceremony is a spiritual experience" or "It's a place to make contacts." Both options 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 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 choices during the Tea Ceremony won't have significant consequences. Even if you make mistakes during the ceremony itself, you might only receive disapproving glances from the guests or Sokyu, but the quest's outcome remains unchanged.
However, the choice between confronting Otama or Wakasa does matter. If you choose to confront Otama, you'll end up tracking her down, only to discover she's corrupt but not the Golden Teppo you're after. This leads to the quest "Defensive Position," where Naoe decides to pursue Wakasa anyway.
On the other hand, if you opt to confront Wakasa, she'll invite Naoe to her home, initiating the quest "Drive the Point Home," and the story will continue as expected.
That covers everything you need to know about navigating the Tea Ceremony in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*. For more tips and insights on the game, including how to romance Katushime and a breakdown of the difficulty settings, be sure to check out The Escapist.
