Triangle Strategy – Chapter VII Part I: A Soul Upon the Scales

Below is a walkthrough of Chapter VII Part I: A Soul upon the Scales in Triangle Strategy. Please note that for the Conviction Choices, we used our best guess on what each conviction might be.

Whiteholm Castle (Main Story)

From the world map, select Whiteholm Castle to view the events that are occurring at the castle.

Wolffort Streets (Main Story)

With the side stories out of the way, head to Wolffort Streets to continue the story. After a cutscene, you’ll be sent back to the world map. Now would be a good time to swing by the Encampment if you haven’t yet in this chapter. You’ll be able to buy a Medal of Bravery from the Sundry Shop for 20 kudos which can be used to promote one of your units if they are level 10. You can then return to Wolffort Streets for another cutscene and Conviction Choice. Afterwards, you’ll be returned to the world map.

Conviction Choice 1 (Benedict)

• I cannot render a decision here and now… There must be some solution… (Liberty)
• As his vassal, I must fight to protect the prince. But as their lord, I must ensure my people’s safety… (Morality)
• We cannot hope to win against Aesfrsot. But if we do nothing to stop them, many will lose their lives… (Utility)

Castle Wolffort (Main Story)

• My father risked his life to bring honor to our house. I’ll not be the one to tarnish his legacy. (Morality)

Conviction Choice 3 (Wolffort Twonsperson)

• I share in your confusion, but Frederica knew nothing of this. Pray, do not blame her for Aesfrost’s actions. (Morality)

Below we have listed what each character stands for in this persuasion along with their dialog options. After the voting, a cutscene triggers and the chapter competes. Please note that choosing not to hand over Roland is a requirement for one of the game’s four endings.

Stave of the Aesfrosti army and protect Prince Roland

Frederica

• Surrendering Roland is the only way.
  • It pains me to admit it, but I do. I fear this is a battle we cannot win, and so it is best avoided.
  • Doing so would save countless lives. This is the only way to protect our own.
  • I will not see Ser Maxwell’s sacrifice rendered meaningless.
    • The Dawnspear’s Sacrifice info

Hughette

• Surrendering Roland is the only way
  • 1st Set of Questions
    • I cannot compel my people to march to their demise for one man, prince or not.
    • Roland and I agree we must keep peace in the Wolffort demesne however we can.
    • Resisting the duchy now would spell the end of us all, and we do not know for sure they will kill him once he is theirs.
  • 2nd Set of Questions
    • They will destroy us if we do not.
    • The lord of a high house is sworn to protect his people, no matter the cost.
    • I see no other choice, Hughette
      • A Bounty on the Prince info

Erador

• Surrendering Roland is the only way
  • 1st Set of Questions
    • I cannot bear to watch the good people of the demesne die.
    • I intend to keep our losses to a minimum. This is how we do so.
    • This is Roland’s will, Erador. Who am I to defy him?
  • 2nd Set of Questions
    • By protecting his loyal subjects, come what may.
    • What debt? The king is dead.
    • This has nothing to do with any debt. I make this decision as lord of House Wolffort, and I take responsibility for its outcome.
      • Serenoa’s Duty info
  • 3rd Set of Questions
    • But now is not the time, Erador. Not if we hope to win.
    • So you believe we can defeat Avlora?
    • …

Surrender Prince Roland and avoid conflict with the Aesfrosti army

Roland

• We must protect Roland at all costs.
  • 1st Set of Questions
    • Surely we can find a way to protect you and the people.
    • Our kingdom needs you, as do I and House Wolffort.
    • Have you forgotten Ser Maxwell’s dying words? Would you render his noble sacrifice for naught?
      • The Dawnspear’s Sacrifice info
  • 2nd Set of Questions
    • Pray, do not deny your beloved master his last request.
    • Your sacrifice alone will not overcome this impasse. It’s nothing more than an abdication of your responsibility.
    • The Wolffort demesne has many secrets… One of which we might use to drive the enemy back.
      • Wolffort’s Secret Weapon info

Benedict

• We must protect Roland at all costs.
  • 1st Set of Choices
    • There must be another way…
    • The royal family is a beacon to the people. With the king slain, they need Roland now more than ever.
    • Perhaps the battle is not as hopeless as one might think…
      • Wolffort’s Secret Weapon info
  • 2nd Set of Choices
    • Is it not together with Roland we might best protect both demesne and kingdom? Surely that is reason enough!
    • I do not believe the battle is a futile one. Victory or defeat is but a matter of fortune.
    • I have as much duty to the royal family as I do to House Wolffort. Such is the lot of the lords of high houses.

Geela

• We must protect Roland at all costs.
  • 1st Set of Choices
    • I will not bet the life of our prince – of my friend – on a mere supposition.
    • We are finished the moment we bend the knee. There must be a way to strike at them.
    • I fear delivering Roland will not stop Aesfrost’s onslaught.
  • 2nd Set of Choices
    • Surrendering Roland will show the people we lack courage. We’ll not have an easy time of it if we lose their trust.
    • I am prepared to fight to the last, even if we cannot win. House Wolffort remains the royal family’s sword and shield.
    • Truth be told. I have a plan… Provided the rumors I’ve heard are true.
      • Wolffort’s Secret Weapon info

Undecided

Anna

• We must protect Roland at all costs.
  • We cannot capitulate to revert demand our enemies make.

  • ???
• Surrendering Roland is the only way.

    • That I may not be able to protect my people from the fires of war I see on the horizon.
    • ???
  • 2nd Set of Choices
    • Ser Maxwell gave his life to protect the kingdom. Fighting would bring harm to the people and render his sacrifice in vain. 
      • The Dawnspear’s Sacrifice info
    • Roland is my liege and, as such, I must respect his wishes.
    • Roland will castigate himself for any harm that befalls the people.
