Anna's Importance in Chapter 3

Anna Hyzante TS Triangle Strategy Game8

Anna is the only character with Neutral Conviction

Succesfully persuading Anna towards a route means tipping the Scales of Conviction enough to choose a route. Anna is the key to picking your preferred route in this Chapter.

How to Choose Aesfrost Route

Convince the Following Characters: Anna Pascal

Character Reasoning
Triangle Strategy - Anna Anna Pascal
Conviction: Neutral		 1. I wish to visit the Grand Duchy of Aesfrost.
2. Any dialogue option would work. However, bringing up Information about The Smuggler, if unlocked, works best.

Recommended Information The Captured Smuggler

Talking to Patriatte

Where to Find By the bridge
Prompt Choices and Effects
King Regna expects great things of you, Lord Serenoa. If there is anything I can do to be of service, simply say the word. I should like to learn more about the Holy State of Hyzante. I know they lay claim to the Source and thus all Norzelia's salt.
(Increases Utility)
I should like to know more about Frederica's home. I hear the Grand Duchy of Aesfrost is known for its views on freedom.
(Increases Liberty)
I should like to hear more about our home of Glenbrook. Are there any problems I should be aware of?
(Increases Morality)

Talking to Prince Frani

Prompt Choices and Effects
But being party to Roland's fancies is not one of them. I hope you understand that. Roland is doing what he can for the kingdom in his own way. As his older brother, I'm sure you can see that.
(Increases Liberty)
Roland may be a prince, but he is also like a brother to me, I swear to do all I can in the service of the crown.
(Increases Morality)
I appreciate your concern, Prince Frani, and hope that you and I can be friends as well, just like our fathers before us.

Chapter 3 General Tips

Pay Attention to Exploration Phases Moving Forward!

Scales of Conviction TS Triangle Strategy

The key to winning over your party is gathering necessary information beforehand. Be proactive in talking to everyone you meet in your journey!

If players failed to gather information from Anna in previous chapters, the third dialogue option when trying to persuade her is locked. Anna is the only undecided character in this voting phase so she is very important in determining which route Serenoa will take.

In the case of Chapter 3, even without the third dialogue option, Anna is likely to favor either Hyzante or Aesfrost. However, it is a safe assumption that this cannot be said for future situations when more variables come into play. Make sure to collect important information in Exploration Phases moving forward.
