Tea Ceremony Dialogue Guide

Throughout this quest, you'll engage in multiple conversations requiring strategic dialogue selections. Your initial interaction with Imai Sokyu presents two dialog choices: either describe the ceremony as "a spiritual experience" or consider it "a networking opportunity."

Both responses are acceptable—select whichever aligns with your preferred approach.

Subsequently, you'll converse with three ceremony attendees. Here are the optimal responses for each conversation:

Participant/DialogueRecommended Response
Otama"My instruction was excellent" or "I'm familiar with the family"
Wakasa"I recently arrived in Sakai"
"I haven't disclosed my origins"
SatokoNot applicable
Ceremony completion"Rotate bowl clockwise twice"
Suspect selectionWakasa

Impact of Incorrect Choices

Most dialogue mistakes carry no significant consequences except for the final accusatory choice. Even ceremonial errors only elicit temporary disapproval from attendees without affecting quest completion.

Choosing to confront Otama leads to discovering her corruption while realizing she isn't your actual target (the Golden Teppo). This triggers the Defensive Position quest as Naoe redirects to pursuing Wakasa.

Accusing Wakasa correctly advances the narrative, initiating the Drive the Point Home quest when she invites Naoe to her residence.
