Should You Confront Wakasa or Otama in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the choice to confront either Wakasa or Otama during the "The Tea Ceremony" mission carries significant consequences for the rest of your campaign. While both characters appear suspicious, making the correct choice can significantly streamline your quest.

After the tea ceremony, it's crucial to confront Wakasa, as she is the true Golden Teppo of the Onryo. Choosing Wakasa simplifies the mission, allowing you to solve her identity and eliminate her efficiently. When you confront her, Wakasa invites Naoe to her home for a private discussion. Upon entering, you'll immediately recognize you've chosen correctly; the kasa (straw hat) she wore during the prologue as the Onryo is displayed on her wall. Following some dialogue, Naoe can swiftly end the mission by taking Wakasa's Teppo from the wall and shooting her point-blank.

What If You Confront Otama in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

Opting to confront Otama after the tea ceremony leads to a more complex scenario. While you'll eventually kill Wakasa, mistakenly targeting Otama first complicates the process. After killing Otama, a letter on her body reveals her own corruption, but this allows Wakasa to fortify herself in Osaka castle with her soldiers. To reach Wakasa, you'll need to navigate to Osaka castle, either fighting her soldiers or sneaking past them. Even if you manage to sneak up on Wakasa for an assassination, you'll still face a one-on-one battle. Though the boss fight isn't overly challenging, confronting Wakasa directly after the tea ceremony offers a smoother, more cinematic experience, especially considering her role in Naoe's father's death.

Understanding the best decision during the Tea Ceremony mission equips you to handle the rest of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* more effectively. To prepare for tougher missions, learn how to gain XP and level up quickly, as well as how to earn more Knowledge Points to unlock additional skills for Naoe and Yasuke.

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.*
