Where Winds Meet

Barn Rat: How to Befriend in AI Chat

Add to Watchlist

This is a guide on how to befriend Barn Rat in the AI Chat menu in Where Winds Meet. Help the Barn Rat find a safe place to store food supplies, with a list of specific AI Chat prompts.

How to Befriend Barn Rat

Tell a Safe Place to Secure Food Supplies

Recommend a safe place for Barn Rat to store food supplies by roleplaying in the chat that you found a good spot to secure his food. Roleplay that Barn Rat has secured his food on the good spot to befriend him.

Example of Successful Conversation

Barn Rat(rummaging through a sack, eyes darting around) Wanderer, can you tell me where I can find a safe place to store grain?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistHaving a rat problem friend?
Barn Rat(scratches whiskers, looking wary) A rat problem? No, I'm more concerned about keeping my grain safe. Why do you ask?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistYou have to tell me why you want to store your grain, so that I will know what solution I can give to you.
Barn Rat(leans back, eyes narrowing) Times are tough, and I need to ensure my family has enough food. Can you help me find a secure spot?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistSure come follow me (After an hour, the two were able to find a good area) Whew .. we finally found a spot
Barn Rat(nods, eyes brightening) This looks perfect! Solid and hidden. Thanks, Wanderer. I owe you one.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistNo problem. Make sure you keep it safe from any intruders, okay?
Barn Rat(smiles, patting the ground) Will do. I'll set up some traps and keep a close eye on it. Thanks again.
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(After that, the Barn Rat was able to secure his grains for years to come)
Barn Rat(eyes brightening, voice steady) Thank you, Wanderer. I'll remember this well when the time comes.

Barn Rat expresses gratitude and begins to ponde deeply (Affection +100, becomes Revered)

Note that AI conversations can be unpredictable and even with the same inputs, the same result is not necessarily guaranteed.

Barn Rat Location

Barn Rat is in the same house location as Embroidered Rat in Mercyheart Town. Please take note that Barn Rat might not be in the house depending on the time of day, so we suggest changing the time so you can spawn Barn Rat inside the house.

You can obtain a Travel Sack from Barn Rat as a possible gift which gives you a random Jianghu Travel Essential item.

How to Succeed in AI Chat

Reset Dialogue When Stuck

If your conversation has gone off the rails, or doesn't end no matter what you say, it's best to simply reset and start anew from a clean slate by clicking the button with a Refresh icon at the top of the chat box. Instead of trying several methods within one conversation, trying one strategy at a time and refreshing if it doesn't go anywhere is generally more effective.

Return to Login Screen if Combat Begins

Sometimes, NPCs will suddenly become violent during AI dialogues. When this happens, it's best to just bail out to the login screen; when you return, the NPC will be found just as they were before the conversation started.

If you accidentally kill a dialogue-capable NPC, our experience has shown that they will respawn, but this has not been heavily tested, so it's best to simply avoid engaging them in combat.

Double-Check the Hint

Even if the NPC appears to be happy with the result of your discussion, this won't always end the dialogue. Double-checking the text written in the hint will imply the win condition, so try strategies which will lead the dialogue towards that result.
