Guide your choice in Assassin's Creed Shadows: Confront Otama for a chase and letter, or confront Wakasa for a quicker resolution. Learn the consequences.
Alright, so you've mastered the art of tea etiquette in Assassin's Creed Shadows, which is awesome! Now, before the ceremony really kicks off, you've got a small but important choice to make regarding who to talk to. You'll need to chat with Otama, Wakasa, and Lady Satoko. Just remember to pick the same name you gave Imai Sokyu earlier – whatever that was, stick with it. Then, when it's time to actually perform the ceremony, make sure you bow to Sokyu with a "bow halfway", and then give the bowl a good spin, turning it right twice. Once that's all done, Naoe will tell you she needs to confront one of the two women, Otama or Wakasa. Here's the breakdown of what happens next.
- 1Confront Otama: If you decide to confront Otama, she's not going to stick around. She'll bolt, so you'll need to chase her down through the streets. Once you catch up and get close enough, you'll have to leap on her and assassinate her. Turns out, she wasn't the one you were *really* looking for, but hey, she was a pretty bad person. On her body, you'll find a letter that points to Wakasa. This means Wakasa is your target, but because you chose to go after Otama first, Wakasa has now escaped to Osaka Castle. You'll have to deal with her there, but don't stress too much – she'll be pretty high up near some scaffolding, making her relatively easy to get to without having to worry about the whole castle.
- 2Confront Wakasa: Now, if you choose to confront Wakasa directly, she's the actual person you're after. By assassinating her right there, you'll save yourself the trip to Osaka Castle later. This is the more direct route, and honestly, it just saves you a bit of time and Otama's life. You'll probably end up at Osaka Castle at some point anyway, though. The main thing to note here is that if you confront Wakasa, you'll miss out on a boss fight with her. But, to be honest, the source says it's so easy, you won't really be missing much.
- Don't feel too bad about taking Otama's life if you choose to confront her; the letter she has to Wakasa suggests she was pretty awful.
- The main difference between the two choices is really just how much time you save yourself.
Choosing to confront Wakasa directly saves you a bit of time by avoiding the chase and potential fight at Osaka Castle.
