Embarking on the Tea Ceremony quest in *Assassin's Creed Shadows* is a pivotal early mission that requires careful navigation through a series of dialogue choices. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to successfully complete the Tea Ceremony and the optimal responses to choose.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Tea Ceremony Answers
Throughout the quest, you'll engage in conversations with various NPCs, starting with Imai Sokyu. You'll face a choice between saying, "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 persona.
Next, you'll interact with three guests at the ceremony. Below 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 |
What Happens If You Pick the Wrong Answers?
Most dialogue choices during the Tea Ceremony don’t significantly impact the quest’s outcome. You might receive some disapproving glances from the guests or Imai Sokyu if you err during the ceremony, but the quest remains unaffected.
However, the decision to confront either Otama or Wakasa has consequences. Choosing Otama leads to a chase, revealing her corruption but not her identity as the Golden Teppo. This initiates the quest "Defensive Position," where Naoe decides to pursue Wakasa anyway.
Opting to confront Wakasa results in her inviting Naoe to her home, starting the quest "Drive the Point Home," and the story progresses as intended.
That concludes the essential information on navigating the Tea Ceremony in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*. For more insights and tips, including how to romance Katushime and understanding the game's difficulty settings, be sure to visit The Escapist.
