Embarking on the Tea Ceremony quest in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* requires you to navigate through a series of conversations and make key choices. This guide will walk you through completing the Tea Ceremony, including all the correct dialogue options you should choose.
During the Tea Ceremony, you'll engage in dialogue with various NPCs, starting with Imai Sokyu. You have two options to respond to him: "The tea ceremony is a spiritual experience" or "It’s a place to make contacts." Both options are acceptable, so feel free to choose the one that resonates with you.
Next, you'll interact with the three guests at the ceremony. Here are the correct 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 |
Most of the dialogue choices during the Tea Ceremony won't have significant consequences. If you make a mistake during the ceremony itself, you might receive disapproving glances from the guests or Sokyu, but the quest's outcome remains unchanged.
However, the choice of whom to confront at the end—Otama or Wakasa—does matter. If you confront Otama, you'll chase her down, only to discover she's corrupt but not the Golden Teppo you're seeking. This leads to the quest "Defensive Position," where Naoe decides to pursue Wakasa anyway.
If you choose to confront Wakasa, she'll invite Naoe to her home, triggering the quest "Drive the Point Home," and the story will progress normally.
