In this guide: Tea Ceremony dialogue options How to complete the Tea Ceremony Best Tea Ceremony outcome Tea Ceremony dialogue options Image by Destructoid Once you’ve spoken to the Tea Master and purchased a kosode, return to Imai Sokun to initiate the tea ceremony. (Note that your choice of kosode and gift for Master Sokyu won’t affect the outcome of this quest). There are three women who you’ll need to speak to at the party to figure out which is the Golden Teppo and your assassination target. The first woman, Otama, is located just to the left of the main doors. Upon approaching each of the women, you can give one of the three fake name choices. If you choose a name that doesn't correspond with the alias you gave to Imai, the other ladies will glare at you once you are announced as a guest but there won't be any major consequences. When speaking to Otama, she will disparage your choice of kosode regardless of which you choose to wear. You’ll then get the following dialogue choices: I had a good teacher: Otama will show snobbery that Master Rikyu was willing to teach you. I know the son well: Otama will treat you with thinly veiled suspicion. Next, you can approach Lady Satoko who is located by the musician up the path from Otama. You’ll have the following dialogue options: I’m friends with Master Sokyu. I have contracts with the Imai. Whichever option you choose here, you’ll receive the same outcome. Satoko will laugh at Naoe and then reveal that she likes to hunt for bandits in her spare time and is staunchly against thievery. She will then excuse herself. The third guest to chat with is Wakasa, located next to the large fox statue. If you wear the black kosode she will compliment you, if you wear the red she will instruct you to choose differently next time. You will have the following dialogue options: Of course I know you: Naoe gets Wakasa's place of birth wrong. I’m new to Sakai: Wakasa tells Naoe that she has good instincts and seems flattered before telling her about her ambitions. The next dialogue choice you’ll have is as follows: I didn’t say where I was from: Wakasa laughs, says it’s a good answer and extends an invite to Osaka Castle where she is "overseeing some work." This is the best option to pick if you do not wish to infiltrate the castle at a later date. I’m from Nagasaki: Wakasa catches Naoe in her lie. Avoid this option if you want to complete the quest earlier. How to complete the Tea Ceremony Image by Destructoid While at the Tea Ceremony you’ll have to perform the rites accurately. Choose the following options when given: Bow Halfway. Turn Bowl Right Twice. If you do not perform the rite successfully, Master Sokyu will give you a stern look and your lack of experience will be noted by the other guests.
