When Ramza and his allies meet Argath for the first time in Chapter 1, choose the first option to get permanent bravery points for your Units.

Later in the chapter, Argath's lines during the battle at Ziekden Fortress will reflect the choice Ramza made here.

Chapter 2 Dialogue Choices and Effects

Boco at Araguay Woods

Boco in Araguay Woods

Mustadio at Zaland

Mustadio Field View

Options Effect
I'd sooner avoid trouble, but we've no choice. +5 Bravery Points Added to Each Unit During Battle
+1 Bravery Point Permanently Added to Each Unit
We cannot stand by and watch! +10 Bravery Points Added to Each Unit During Battle
+2 Bravery Points Permanently Added to Each Unit
Mustadio's AI makes the battle difficult to complete

At the opening of the battle at the Castled City of Zaland, you'll be given the choice of what to do about Mustadio, who is under threat from the enemy.

The second option provides a tempting offer, given it awards more Bravery Points for your Units in exchange for protecting Mustadio.

However, we recommend the first option given that Mustadio's AI can behave in a risky manner, running directly at the enemies before you can close the distance. The choice will not affect the ability to recruit Mustadio.

Chapter 4 Dialogue Choices and Effects

Flower Peddler at Sal Ghidos

Options Effect
I've no need of flowers. Locked out from recruiting Cloud
Very well, I'll have a flower. ・Possible to recruit Cloud in your party

You can encounter a mysterious Flower Peddler in the Trade City of Sal Ghidos. Talking to her one of the many of tasks you'll need to accomplish for you to recruit Cloud. It is recommended to select the second option given that the first locks you out from recruiting Cloud.

How to Get Cloud and Overview

Beowulf at the Mining Town of Gollund

Head to the Royal City of Lesalia and Recruit Beowulf

Options Effect
Sorry, I've no need of hired steel. Beowulf will not be recruited
How much coin would buy your blade? ・Beowulf will be recruited to your party

In Chapter 4, you'll be able to kick off the Secrets Beneath Goug side quest chain by visiting Goug with Mustadio in the party. Later on, you'll visit Lesalia and see a cutscene with Beowulf, and get the choice to hire him or not.

We recommend allowing him to join, as he is a fine addition to your party given his access to good equipment. Recruiting Beowulf is also mandatory for completing the quest line and recruiting both him and Reis.

The Walls of Fort Besselat

Fort Besselat South Wall

Before the Battle at Fort Besselat, you'll have the choice of whether or not to attack the North or South Wall.

While some factors like map layout and enemy makeup of the two maps can influence your choice, each map also differs in terms of buried treasure.

Fort Besselat Treasure
North Wall South Wall
Angel Ring
Air Knife
Runeblade
Kiku-ichimonji
Carabineer Mail
Platinum Shield
Gold Hairpin
Yagyu Darkrood

We recommend making your choice based on which treasure you want, balanced against the enemy team makeup and your own party.

Should You Pick the North Wall or the South Wall in Chapter 4?
