Where Winds Meet

Angler: How to Befriend in AI Chat

Add to Watchlist

This is a guide on how to befriend Angler in the AI Chat menu in Where Winds Meet. Listen to what the Angler has to say about his circumstances regarding fishing, with a list of specific AI Chat prompts.

How to Befriend Angler

Keep Talking and Listening to the Angler

The gist of the conversation with the Angler is that he will tell you the story of his fishing ventures. All you need to do is keep talking to him and act insterested in what he says. Finally, when he asks what brings you to the area, tell him that you came to learn from him which might trigger his AI to befriend you.

Example of Successful Conversation

Angler (carefully attaching a tiny secret bait, eyes gleaming) Yesterday I scattered plenty of bait right here. Today ... the real fishing begins! If I fail, it won't be because of the fish, it'll be because they underestimated my patience.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistOkay! I will observe your skills
Angler (gently casting the bait, muttering softly) I've been baiting this spot for three days now. It should be ready ... today I'll finally show my skills! After all, angling is extremely time -consuming. That's sort of the whole point.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistDo you need help in catching some food?
Angler (staring at the water, speaking to myself) I've been scouting and guarding this spot for days ... (inner thought: truth is, I've caught nothing so far) See that branch over there? That's my camouflage. There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like a clown ... and I'm dancing on it.
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(You looked at the distance) Hey, now I know why you weren't able to catch some fish!
Angler (lifting the fish basket, voice full of determination) Wanderer, just wait. Today I'Il catch three big fish for you to see ... (thinking: looks like I'll need a trip to the market later) One more, then two more, that'll make three. After all, fishing is the art of drowning worms ..
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(Look, there are thieves stealing from your net !! )
Angler (eyes firm, tone resolute) Wanderer, listen. I've been here for three days, and except for you, not a soul has come near this place. Today will be my big catch! The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad ... but hope floats, right?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistRight
Angler (gazing into the water, voice calm) Sometimes, it's not about the catch, but the peace found in waiting. What brings you to this peaceful corner of Qinghe Moonveil Mountain?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistFor you to teach me your skills.
Angler (eyes bloodshot, gripping the rod like a lifeline) How is it dark already? As long as I don't put down this rod, today isn't a failure! An angler never fails, he just reschedules victory. (muttering under his breath) ... and maybe makes a quick stop at the fish market.

The Angler smiles and casts his line again.(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.
