Triangle Strategy Chapter I – Battle
Wolfford Harbor (Beset by Brigands)
When you gain control of the game, you’ll be on the map screen. Select Wolffort Harbor as your destination to trigger a cutscene. When it concludes, you’ll be back on the world map. Again, select Wolffort Harbor to start a fight with a band of brigands, where you’ll get your first Conviction Choice. Below are the choices along with the conviction you’ll raise by selecting them.
Conviction Choice 1
- Who are you, exactly? A band of common brigands, from the looks of it. (Utility)
- You needn’t know who. Surrender now and we can resolve this peacefully. (Morality)
- You two bear a striking resemblance. Might you be father and daughter? (Liberty)
After making your choice, the battle gets underway. You’ll be facing Travis, Trish, and the rest of the band of 6 additional brigands (one bruiser and five rouges).
- Travis – Can move a couple of spaces at a time and will attack the party with powerful melee attacks
- Trish – Uses a bow and will attack from range
- Brigands – Will attack the enemy closest to them
If you’re starting out and not opposed to a little bit of cheesing, you can save Trish for last and surround her with Serenoa, Benedict, and the Blonde, Blue-Eyed man on the dock. This will box her in, preventing her from moving around. You can then position Frederica just within range of Trish’s attack and Geela near her to cast Cure Wounds. This forces Trish to keep attacking Frederica while you heal her with Geela, effectively allowing you to farm exp for Geela.
You can also use Benedict’s Raging Beast on himself, Serenoa, or Blonde to farm exp for Benedict while ending the turns of Blonde, Serenoa, and Fredrica without doing any actions.
Once you defeat the brigands, another cutscene triggers, leading to a second Conviction Choice (see below). After that, both Frederica and Geela join your forces.
Conviction Choice 2
- If it is not too forward of me to say so, I find it most beautiful. (Liberty)
- I find your courage more noteworthy than your appearance. You held your own out there on the battlefield. (Utility)
- I think it nothing to be surprised about. We have Roselle living in our very demesne. (Morality)
Triangle Strategy Chapter 1 – Main Story
Once you access the world map, you will unlock the Encampment and the Provisioner, who will be located at the Encampment. Here, you can view the roster of Serenoa’s forces, check your current inventory, and review the War Chronicle, which tracks your choices.
You can speak with the Provisioner to stock up on supplies before entering battle. This occurs only during your initial playthrough, but you will retain access in any future New Game Plus runs.
Whiteholm Castle (Side Story)
After the fierce battle with Travis and his merry band of brigands, select Whiteholm Castle from the world map to view a side story on upcoming story events.
Castle Wolffort
When you return to the world map, select Castle Wolffort to continue with the story. Here, Anna and Erador will join Serenoa’s forces and discuss the upcoming events from a Wolffort perspective. When this cutscene completes, you’ll be sent back to the world map. Select Castle Wolffort again for a cutscene with Serenoa, Frederica, and Symon (Serenoa’s father). When it concludes, Chapter 1 will come to a close.
