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 apps 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
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 another. In the case of the Conviction system, that’s plain as day with Liberty, Morality, and Util
Triangle Strategy is a huge, sprawling RPG with a ton of content. While it starts off on the easier side, the difficulty ramps up quickly and you’re forced to think hard about what kind of strategies you want to employ in bat
Thankfully, the introductory chapter is great at easing you into the game’s flow. You’ll meet quite a few of the principal characters, get to take part in your first bout of combat, and get acquainted with the game’s complicated Conviction sys
After the introductory scenes of the game, you will be brought to the World Map. Here, you’ll select the story that you want to view . The majority of the time, this will just be the next Main Story event, but sometimes you’ll be able to witness Side Stor
Conviction, as it happens, is a shorthand for a three-pronged system: Liberty, Morality, Utility . The three play against each other in varying ways, and they’re pivotal in the making of many of Triangle Strategy’s narrative decisi
This is the most readily apparent example of Convictions playing out in your favor; whatever it is that our above example would theoretically pertain to, you’ll stand a far better chance of accomplishing it with a high score in a particular aspect. Grinding that out, even if you can’t see the exact stockpile number until New Game Plus , is still worth the eff
The only unit you need to bring down is Plinius. As you may suspect, of course, getting to Plinius is no simple feat. Joining you for this battle are Exharme — who will make the best beeline possible toward Plinius, so you may wish to keep him buffed and healed — and ice mage Corentin, who will be yours to cont
In Triangle Strategy , depending on which choices players have made, they will come to a difficult section in Chapter 10. This chapter features the group of heroes heading into the deserts of Hyzante looking for evidence against the Minister of Salt, Sors
War Chronicle lets you read any of the Notes, Information, and Tutorials that you have picked up over the course of the game. It also lets you view your Path Traveled, which is useful for catching up on the events of past chapt
In this walkthrough, every exploration event will be paired with tables showing what items you can acquire, Notes and Information you can learn (stored in the War Chronicle), and Conviction choice outcomes you can g
This is the final thing that players have to do. They can now press + and head back to their encampment where they will ponder over everything they have learned with their friends and continue on with the remainder of the many hours left in Triangle Strategy ‘s long run ti
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
“Serenoa’s convictions have been strengthened.” Play Triangle Strategy for more than an hour, and you will have seen the phrase pop up on the top-right portion of the screen at least two dozen times. It’s nice to know the young lord of House Wolffort is no philosophical sycophant, but what does this really mean? Why are Serenoa’s convictions constantly being strengthened, how do we as players affect the process, and why should any of us even c
In Triangle Strategy, each of these aspects has a numerical designation . (The numbers are hidden until New Game Plus, at which point the whole thing cracks open like a nut and you can micromanage to your heart’s content.) You accrue points based upon the choices you make throughout the game, and in turn, the total stockpile per aspect permits you (or rather, Serenoa) to exert greater degrees of influence when Scales of Conviction sequences take pl
As a result, it’s important to pay attention during this chapter. There are two exploration events and a battle to contend with, so there are plenty of items and tidbits of info to miss. But don’t worry, you’re in safe hands with
So, for example, during a Scales of Conviction event you’ll be chatting with, say, Geela. And in order to press Geela into agreeing with you, you’ll want — again, hypothetically here — a high enough Utility score. Picking the Utility-based dialogue option will add another 50 Utility points to your stockpile, thus raising Geela’s likelihood to listen as the conversation contin
