Triangle Strategy: Chapter 3, Part 2 – Aesfrost Route Walkthrough

Chapter Three of Triangle Strategy is the first chapter in the game to be split up into multiple parts, and it’s also the first chapter to feature a vote using the Scales of Conviction. This is a big part of the SLG Game patch Notes that dictates your playthrough’s ro

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

The characters you’ll need to sway to head to the deserts of Hyzante are Roland, Erador, Hughette, and Anna. You can safely ignore Frederica, Geela, and Benedict, as they are already in favor of this propo

Triangle Strategy veers in unexpected directions like this all the time, likely encouraging repeat playthroughs or a naughty bit of save scumming in case a pivotal decision turns sour. I stuck to my guns even when it was clear I should have acted differently, making me curious to revisit certain moments and seek out alternate endings where those I love might have lived, or sacrifices to my people might have been avoided if I was more cautious. One battle involves setting braziers alight to keep enemies at bay, but as a result countless houses are burned to the ground. These belong to real people, and they will reside by the wreckage in later sections talking about what they’ve lost while bitterly accepting that it was for the greater good. Nice one, Serenoa.

Once you have won the battle, you’ll get to learn a little bit more about Rudolph’s story and end up recruiting him into your party permanently. Unfortunately, you don’t get to keep Sycrus and his overpowered buff sk

Triangle Strategy is filled with compelling characters all boasting worthwhile stories to tell, many of which are woven into the main narrative with surprisingly delicacy. I cared about all of them, worried that death would greet them early or my own hasty decisions might put them in danger. Player choice sits at the forefront of Triangle Strategy, with the majority of larger battles being preceded by a visit to the Scales of Conviction. Instead of conferring with a larger government body or his citizens, Serenoa gives a few coins to his mates and they throw them into a set of scales before deciding how to approach war.

If an option requires a piece of Information, the second-best choice will also be included to know what to pick if you are missing the relevant item. For this chapter, all relevant Information is picked up in Chapter Two’s second exploration eve

As the player, you have a chance to sway the vote to whichever outcome you desire using dialogue choices, and possible Information gathered in past chapters. Whether or not you are successful in convincing a character to your side depends on a few thi

Each major character also has a trait unique to them – such as being able to act twice in a single turn or build ladders to navigate trickier terrain. Everyone is different, which makes selecting which units are coming into each battle that much more difficult. You will need to mix and match in order to match each new situation, which can often result in lower level characters having to hang back until they are needed because, as I said before, grinding opportunities in Triangle Strategy feel oddly truncated for a JRPG of this scope. Outside of battle and between story sequences you are free to visit a War Tent filled with your allies ready to strike up conversations. This is also where merchants and traders are found, who are required to upgrade weapons and advance character classes on the regular.

Triangle Strategy is an excellent game that expertly combines satisfying combat and a layered narrative to create something I didn’t know I needed. Serenoa Wollfort’s journey is punctuated with intrigue, betrayal, and triumph that are all driven by player decisions that actually feel like they matter. It isn’t smoke and mirrors on a moral railroad presenting the illusion of choice, it’s a ride or die political rollercoaster where failing to convince a single ally will result in the untimely deaths of thousands.

And now for the main event. Will you see House Wolffort through the moral ambiguity of working alongside Sorsley? Or will you attempt to report his wrongdoings directly to Hyzante? Here’s how to make Serenoa’s friends see the value of each appro
