Starting with Searching Sakai, you are being invited to a tea ceremony with Imai Sokyu, in an effort to learn some information on The Golden Teppo target, in Assassin’s Creed: Shadows. After you finally gotten a kosode and learned some tea etiquette, it’s time for the tea ceremony itself. This page will guide you through the tea ceremony itself, with the correct choices, as well as who to choose at the end of the quest.
Speak to Imai Sokun where you first met him to start this mission.
Tea Ceremony Answers¶
To start the mission, head to Imai Sokun, who should be waiting outside of the building where you first met Sokyu. This will immediately lead into a conversation with Sokyu, who starts by saying your name (if case you forgot). After some brief questioning, he will ask you the purpose of the tea ceremony, with the answer not mattering. Before things get more involved, another guest appears and the cutscene continues and then the tea ceremony will truly begin.
Well, before it starts, you can speak with the three guests joining you. While talking with each one, you’ll introduce yourself with your name, so make sure you pick the right one here, just to be sure you don’t screw up things later. Your answers to two of them shouldn’t really matter, but you should be careful with Wakasa, especially if you want an easier time ahead. Should you choose the answers with the scale icon both times (Of course I know you and I’m from Nagasaki), then there’s a chance of an extra quest. If you don’t, then the outcome is a little bit different, so read below. It’s time to get ready for the actual ceremony. When you are asked to bow, make sure you remember you teachings from Sen no Rikyu.
The correct choice is to bow halfway, so do that and you’ll head inside for some tea. Upon the bowl reaching your character, you’re given another choice, on which direction to turn the bowl, or to not turn it at all. The right answer here is to turn the bowl right twice. That concludes the actual tea ceremony, with you offering up your gifts at this point. Once you get back to the garden, you will ponder over the choices of who to confront, with there being two people.
(1 of 5) It’s a good idea to remember the name you gave throughout this quest chain.
Otama or Wakasa - Who to Confront?¶
You narrow down the choice to either confront Otama or Wakasa after the tea ceremony. If you recall the conversations earlier, you might lean more into Otama being the culprit. Choose her, though, and you’ll chase her down in the streets of Sakai, having to assassinate her. Upon killing her, you realize she wasn’t the masked woman, and that Wakasa is the true culprit.
If you choose Wakasa back at the garden, after choosing one neutral answer and one scaled answer, then she will invite you back to her home to talk some more. While there, check out the gun on the wall and this will lead to another conversation. The answer here doesn’t matter, as Naoe will kill Wakasa then and there, ending the quest. If you chose both scaled options (look above for the answers themselves), she will confront you and basically confirm that she’s the person who shot you. This will lead to one final mission left for you for The Golden Teppo, Defensive Position.
