In your quest to uncover the Golden Teppo within Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players will face pivotal choices that significantly affect the storyline. During the core mission known as The Tea Ceremony, you are prompted to confront either Otama or Wakasa, both of whom are suspected of being connected to the Golden Teppo. Selecting the right suspect is crucial, as it influences your progression in the game.
This article delves into the implications of choosing between Otama and Wakasa, analyzing the distinct paths and outcomes associated with each confrontation.
Exploring the Consequences of Confronting Otama or Wakasa
As you navigate through the Tea Ceremony quest, interactions with a diverse cast, including Otama and Wakasa, become integral to your decision-making process. While some characters might appear innocent and spark no suspicion in Naoe regarding their connection to the Golden Teppo, the quest ultimately leads to an important choice: whom to confront.
It is essential to remember that Wakasa is indeed the true Golden Teppo. Each decision you make leads the narrative down different paths, as outlined below:
Outcomes of Confronting Wakasa
Choosing to confront Wakasa leads her to acknowledge Naoe’s scrutiny with the line, “You have observed me with more than mere curiosity.”She then requests a private conversation, during which her true identity as the Golden Teppo is unveiled. The quest continues with the mission “Drive the Point Home,”guiding you to Wakasa’s residence.
At the residence, players can retrieve the Teppo from a wall-mounted shelf before facing Wakasa again. Although two choices are presented after this encounter, both paths culminate in the same outcome: Naoe ultimately kills Wakasa, revealing her as the true Golden Teppo.
Outcomes of Confronting Otama
If you decide to confront Otama instead, the encounter swiftly shifts into a chase, concluding with her fleeing from Naoe. Upon successfully pursuing her, players will find that Otama is not the desired target. However, it becomes apparent that she is deeply corrupt, comparable to a Daimyo. Thus, her elimination is deemed a morally acceptable course of action.
Following the confrontation with Otama, a new quest, “Defensive Position,”is initiated, directing you to Osaka Castle for the ultimate task of assassinating Wakasa, the genuine Golden Teppo. Utilize Naoe’s stealth abilities to navigate through adversaries and accomplish your objective.
