In the Assassin’s Creed Shadows tea ceremony, selecting the right answers is key to achieving the best outcome, which involves the opportunity to eliminate the Golden Teppo while maintaining your cover. To accomplish this, it’s crucial to respond accurately to the various questions posed during the ceremony. A perfect performance with Master Imai Sokyu is essential; otherwise, you risk exposing your true identity to your target.
We’ve compiled a guide that outlines the optimal answers for the Tea Ceremony in order to successfully take down the Golden Teppo. This includes choosing the best gift, as well as the proper manner to bow and position the tea bowl, ensuring the success of your mission and your status among Sakai’s elite.
Best Answers for the Tea Ceremony in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
During the tea ceremony scene in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you will encounter multiple options with varying answers. Below we have highlighted the best responses in bold to help you secure the optimal outcome—allowing you to eliminate the Golden Teppo without revealing your identity.
- Provide your name to all guests (choose from Shizuka, Sanuki, or Shigure)
- The specific name doesn’t matter; just ensure it’s consistent throughout and matches what you told Imai Sokyu upon first introduction. At the end, Master Sokyu will call you by that name in front of everyone, and anyone who heard a different name will catch the mistake.
- Imai Sokyu: “What is the purpose of the tea ceremony?”
- The tea ceremony is a spiritual experience.
- It’s a place to network.
- Otama:“And how did you gain access to this prestigious event?”
- I had an excellent teacher.
- I’m well-acquainted with the son.
- Lady Satoko: “I didn’t know they allowed children at these ceremonies.”
- I’m friends with Master Sokyu.
- I have connections with the Imai.
- Wakasa: “You might have heard of me?”
- Of course, I know you.
- I’m new to Sakai.
- Wakasa: “Where did you claim to be from?”
- I didn’t specify where I’m from.
- (Lie) I’m from Nagasaki.
After this round of questioning, you’ll return to Master Sokyu to begin the ceremony itself. Be mindful that some characters may be rude, and even a solid response could yield an undesired effect.
How to Bow and Turn the Bowl Properly in the Tea Ceremony
Once you’ve completed the conversations with the guests, you can proceed with the actual Tea Ceremony under Master Sokyu’s guidance. This portion of the mission acts as a memory challenge based on the teachings of Sen No Rikyu. Here’s the correct sequence of actions for the ceremony:
- Bowing before Master Sokyu
- Bow your head.
- Bend at the waist halfway.
- Bow deeply.
- Turning the bowl
- Turn the bowl left twice.
- Turn the bowl right twice.
- Leave the bowl as is.
After you complete these actions, you will move on to discuss your gift, regardless of the choice you make. For more details on the ideal gift option, refer to the next section.
Importantly, this is also the moment where you will be tasked with deciding whether to confront Otama or Wakasa, based on your belief about who is the real murderer. We have created a separate guide that delves into the implications of this decision, as it carries significant consequences that merit further exploration.
Best Gift for the Tea Ceremony in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
When Naoe approaches Sen No Rikyu in Assassin’s Creed Shadows to inquire about the art of Tea Ceremonies, he offers her a choice of gifts from his collection for the important ceremony later. You have three options to choose from:
- Gold-trimmed teapot
- Tea-leaf jar
- Bamboo ladle
While all the options are appreciated by Imai Sokyu, he makes a note that the jar and ladle come from Sen No Rikyu’s collection, but does not comment on the teapot. We’re unsure if this detail has any impact, but we achieved the best ending by selecting the teapot.
