During the tea ceremony in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, while you’re seated with guests, you are given three options—turn the bowl left twice, turn it right twice, or not turn it at all. There is a proper etiquette of turning the bowl, and the other ways will reveal your identity. Here’s the right choice to make and the consequences for each.
Should you Turn the Bowl in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?
Yes, you should turn the bowl right twice, a move that will keep your real identity hidden and you can easily proceed to the next quest of finding the Golden Teppo. There will be another choice to make in the next step and our guide will help you choose the Golden Teppo to eliminate. But for now, turning the bowl right twice is the way to go if you don’t want to blow your cover.
What happens if you make the wrong choice?
If you turn the bowl in the wrong way during this AC Shadows quest and make the wrong choice between the two options for the Golden Teppo, you get the Defensive Position quest instead of the Driving the Point Home mission. This is the tougher way to get to the Golden Teppo, so if you prefer a higher challenge, you can change your decision based on these outcomes.
Some say that the turning bowl choice only affects Sokyu’s reaction and raises some suspicions about Naoe, but the ceremony will continue normally. This could be true because we know for sure that the choice between Otama and Wakasa is the main one that affects the next quest that gets triggered. However, if you want to continue hiding your identity from the beginning, choose to turn the bowl in the correct direction.
That was everything about this choice. If you’d like to read more tips and tricks like finding the location of the Executioner in The Killing Field, how to use Scouts, change seasons manually and sheath your weapon at the right time for the Final Hearing trophy, check out our linked guides.
