Confront Wakasa or Otama in Assassin's Creed Shadows: What to Choose?

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the decision to confront either Wakasa or Otama during the "The Tea Ceremony" mission significantly impacts the rest of your campaign. Both characters raise suspicions, but there’s a clear choice that simplifies the quest and makes it more rewarding.

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

After the tea ceremony, you should confront Wakasa, who is revealed to be the Golden Teppo of the Onryo. Choosing to confront her leads to a straightforward resolution. Wakasa will invite Naoe to her home for a private discussion. Once inside, you’ll spot a kasa (straw hat) on her wall, the same one she wore during the prologue as the Onryo, confirming your choice. After some dialogue, Naoe can easily 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?

Choosing to confront Otama instead leads to a more complicated path. After mistakenly targeting Otama, Naoe will chase and kill her. A letter found on Otama will reveal her corruption, but this allows Wakasa to escape and fortify herself in Osaka Castle with her soldiers. To reach Wakasa, you’ll need to travel to the castle, either fighting through her guards or attempting to sneak past them. Even if you manage to get close enough for an assassination, you'll likely face Wakasa in a one-on-one combat. While the boss fight isn't overly challenging, confronting Wakasa directly from the start avoids the extra hassle and provides a more cinematic and satisfying kill, especially given her role in Naoe’s father’s death.

Understanding the best decision during the Tea Ceremony mission will set you up for success. To further enhance your gameplay, learn how to gain XP and level up quickly in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, preparing you for the game's tougher challenges. Additionally, discover how to efficiently 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.*
