Where Winds Meet

Small Chisel: How to Befriend in AI Chat

Add to Watchlist

This is a guide on how to befriend Small Chisel in the AI Chat menu in Where Winds Meet. Learn how to befriend Small Chisel by believing his gossips, with a list of specific AI Chat prompts.

How to Befriend Small Chisel

Believe Small Chisel's Gossip

Small Chisel loves gossiping about people so make sure to encourage him to tell more gossips and believe them so he'll have an easier time befriending you. You should also try to tell your own gossip even if it's just roleplaying to trick Small Chisel's AI.

Example of Successful Conversation

Small Chisel(leaning in with a sly grin, voice lowered) Customer, have you heard of Master Xu, who calls himself "Miaofa Rulai"?
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(Grins) Ohh please tell me more
Small Chisel(whispering, glancing around) Well, this so-called "Miaofa Rulai" is nothing but a swindler. There's a lady in town named Aunt Tian who fell for his tricks. She spent fifty taels on five hundred bottles of his so-called "Sweet Dew," thinking it would heal her husband's ailments. Can you believe it?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistHow evil can he be to target a gullible old woman
Small Chisel(nodding solemnly, leaning closer) Exactly! Poor Aunt Tian, she was desperate to help her husband. When the "Sweet Dew" didn't work, she went back to demand a refund. But Master Xu refused, claiming he was "enforcing heavenly law." It's outrageous!
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistThats absurb! They should demand a refund for such an outrageous price
Small Chisel(smiling wryly, shaking head) Of course, but Master Xu wouldn't budge. Aunt Tian was left fuming, and her husband nearly turned green with rage. It's a cautionary tale, Customer-be wary of such charlatans!
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistSure! Thank you
Small Chisel(winking, patting the customer on the shoulder) No problem, Customer. Just remember, there are plenty of scoundrels out there. Stay sharp! Now, is there anything else you'd like to know?
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(you tell him about the best rumors that are spreading among the people)
Small Chisel(grinning mischievously, eyes twinkling) Ah, the best rumors! Well, there's one about Old Wang from the market. They say he found a hidden treasure map and has been seen sneaking off into the mountains late at night. But let me tell you, none of those compare to Aunt Tian's story
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistMight I try to persuade you with my own story that might beat Aunt Tian story?
Small Chisel(chuckling, scratching his chin) Oh, I'm intrigued! Go ahead, Customer. Try me with your story. But remember, Aunt Tian's tale is pretty hard to top!
Where Winds Meet Protagonistsure So the tale starts ... ( You tell him about the outrageous big beast you saw in the dark while walking home from the forest, you told him how it disappeared at the sight of someone looking at it, as if it was never there to begin with)
Small Chisel(clearing his throat, tone cheerful)Well, I've said enough for today! If you've got time another day, come find me, we'll have a good chat!

Small Chisel hurries off to take care of something. Chat with him on another day.(Affection +100, becomes Revered)

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

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.
