Below is a walkthrough on Chapter III – Part I: Whiter the River Flows in Triangle Strategy. Please note that for the Conviction Choices, we used our best guess on what each conviction might be.
Whiteholm Bridge (Main Story)
This chapter starts off with a cutscene at Whiteholm Bridge. After the cutscene on the bridge, you’ll be back on the world map. One thing to note is that if you go to the Encampment and speak with the Tavern Owner, you’ll find you can now partake in Mental Mock Battles where you can level up your units. You’ll also have access to the Sundry Shop where you can spend the Kudos you’ve earned for skills, upgrades or notes. When you’re ready to continue with the story, leave the Encampment and choose Whiteholm Castle. This will kick off a cutscene explaining the Scales of Conviction and is where Serenoa’s conviction comes into play as it is now up to you to persuade the others of which path to take. Below have listed the conversations for each of the companions and what their starting favored destination is. While the choices we chose are marked below, ultimately how you built your Serenoa’s conviction determines the effectiveness of how persuasive he is. At around this point in the game, our conviction choices were balanced for all three of the big philosophies. We also had some extra conviction from talking with everyone, picking up everything we found and winning all battles including the two in the Encampment. When you have finished talking to the group, interact with the Scales of Conviction to start the voting. After your destination has been decided, Part I of Chapter 3 concludes.
Whiteholm Bridge (Main Story – Voting)
Choosing to go to Hyzante now will allow you to recruit a Frost Mage during Part II. If you elected to Aesfrost, then you’ll have the opportunity to recruit a Hunter. Please note that them actually joining you is tied to Serenoa’s convictions.
