Having agreed to help Sycras with the sting operation, you now have all of Central Aesfrost to explore. As always, there are items and tidbits of info to pick up , and a few conversations that lead to Conviction boosts – the NPCs that give these have exclamation marks above th
The second chapter of Triangle Strategy introduces a few new concepts. The first is exploration events, short scenes where you control Serenoa as he goes rooting through strangers’ possessions for items and learning more about his philosophical convicti
Triangle Strategy was criticized pre-launch for sticking to its bizarre title, but at least it owns it. Everything about the game, thematically, seems to revolve around the form of a triangle to some extent or apps another. In the case of the Conviction system, that’s plain as day with Liberty, Morality, and Util
Before you attempt to sway people to your side, remember that this is also something of an exploration event. Chat to the Concierge manning the door and you can explore the Wolffort Streets to pick up crucial information and useful ite
HIgh Conviction scores also influence the arrival of new playable characters via Character Stories . Starting around the fourth chapter or so, Character Stories will be accessible by pressing the '+’ button while on the field map. Some Character Stories further develop important cast members in fun ways, and those will typically pop up per how often you use a given character in battles. But the rest will, indeed, provide powerful new units for Serenoa’s a
In Triangle Strategy, there will be multiple events that require you to make a decision using the Scales of Conviction . This involves a vote held amongst seven of your allies, who each get a say in the mat
The chapter also features a fun battle against individuals from one of the other Norzelian countries, and the strategic aspect of the game gets a little deeper as it prepares you for the challenges to c
This is the first mandatory battle wherein you will have Recommended units . These units are considered particularly useful by the game for the current battle. Including all of them in your battle party will not only give you an edge but will net you some Utility points . Conversely, if you use none of them, you’ll get some Liberty poin
In this walkthrough, the best persuasion options that you can pick are presented in tables . When chosen, these options will give you the lowest required amount of Conviction points to succeed in changing a character’s m
This is also the first exploration event that you’ll experience that features a merchant . These offer time-limited shops that may sometimes offer exclusive items. If you want something and do not currently have the Coins for it, you can partake in Mental Mock Battles in the Encampment to earn some. This can be done even during an exploration ev
In battles, you’ll earn Morality points through achieving victory without killing every enemy unit (obviously impossible in fights where the goal is to do just that). Buffing your allies also earns Morality points, so a character like Benedict is highly helpful here despite his more Utility-minded personal
Raising Liberty, Morality, and Utility plays a direct role in your success rate of convincing the game’s lead characters to see Serenoa’s point of view during Scales of Conviction sequences. Serenoa’s point of view, of course, is whatever yours happens to be, and yours will be reflective of which story path(s) you wish to expl
After taking part in your first momentous vote in Triangle Strategy , you will be taken to either the Grand Duchy of Aesfrost or the Holy State of Hyzante. With the former route, Serenoa and co. get to see the chilly north for the first time in the game and meet Archduke Gustadolph. With a large exploration event and a pretty difficult battle to contend with, this route can be a challenge. Luckily, it also comes with a nice reward – the ex-salt smuggler Rudolph, who makes for a fine addition to the team. More Walkthroug
No new mental mock battles appear just yet, nor has the merchant restocked his wares. Stay on top of your Character Stories, though. You may still have several optional recruits to bring into the Wolffort f
Don’t worry if you lack the information. The second of the two unlocked options works nearly as well. If, for whatever reason, you run into any issues, speak with Roland , who is quite softly in favor of working with Sors
Anna will agree with this path if you have 'Defying the Holy One’ in your inventory. You’ll have either received this from Chapter 8’s Exploration Phase, or you won’t have; it depends on which location your version of the chapter is set wit
Likely the easiest way to accrue Utility points is by gathering information, notes, and items during Exploration Phase. Our walkthrough always lists everything that can be found in towns and such, so simply gather as you normally would, and you’re gol
