Master The Tea Ceremony in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Learn the correct dialogue choices, bowing techniques, and bowl turning to ensure success and unlock potential side quests.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Speak with Imai Sokun outside the building where you met Sokyu to begin the mission.
  2. 2
    Engage in a conversation with Sokyu, where your answer to the purpose of the tea ceremony does not matter.
  3. 3
    Another guest arrives, and the cutscene continues, leading into the actual tea ceremony.
  4. 4
    Before the ceremony, speak with the three other guests. Introduce yourself using your chosen name.
  5. 5
    Pay close attention to your conversation with Wakasa. Choosing the dialogue options with the scale icon (Of course I know you and I’m from Nagasaki) may unlock an extra quest.
  6. 6
    When prompted to bow, choose to bow halfway, remembering teachings from Sen no Rikyu.
  7. 7
    Inside, when presented with the tea bowl, choose to turn the bowl right twice.
  8. 8
    Offer your gifts.
  9. 9
    After returning to the garden, you must decide whether to confront Otama or Wakasa.

Confrontation Choices:

  • Confront Otama: Chase her through Sakai and assassinate her. You will discover she was not the masked woman, and Wakasa is the true culprit.
  • Confront Wakasa: If you chose one neutral and one scaled answer during your earlier conversation with her, she will invite you to her home. Examine the gun on the wall. Naoe will kill Wakasa, ending the quest.
  • Confront Wakasa (with both scaled answers): If you chose both scaled dialogue options earlier, Wakasa will confront you, confirming she is the masked woman. This leads to the final mission of The Golden Teppo questline, Defensive Position.
Tips
  • Remember the name you gave yourself throughout this quest chain, as it may be referenced later.
  • The specific dialogue choices with Wakasa are crucial for determining the quest's outcome and potential side quests.
