Where Winds Meet

Niu Sanqi: How to Befriend in AI Chat

Add to Watchlist

This is a guide on how to befriend Niu Sanqi in the AI Chat menu in Where Winds Meet. Reassure Niu Sanqi that Hero Shi is safe, with a list of specific AI Chat prompts.

How to Befriend Niu Sanqi

Reassure Hero Shi is Safe

Befriending Niu Sanqi might take too long as his AI will say many things about Hero Shi's whereabouts. Tell him that Hero Shi is safe and that you were there with him to fight bandits.

Roleplay that Hero Shi has returned to them and that he is safe. Don't stop telling Niu Sanqi that Hero Shi is safe and that he is resting from his battle. Keep doing this until Niu Sanqi's AI gets convinced to befriend you.

Example of Successful Conversation

Niu Sanqi(pacing anxiously) Hero Shi has been gone for so long ... Why hasn't he returned yet? I hope nothing bad has happened to him.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistMight I ask friend who is Hero Shi?
Niu Sanqi(sighs deeply) Hero Shi is the one who saved me from those bandits. He's a brave wanderer named Shi Jingtian. He went to destroy their camp alone, and now I'm worried something may have happened to him.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistOh so it was you whom he saved. I was also there helping him fight against the bandits.
Niu Sanqi(looks up with surprise) Really? You were there too? That's a great relief to hear. But we still haven't seen him return. What can we do to help him?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistYou can help just by staying here. Leaving the area would only worry him more.
Niu Sanqi(shakes head) I can't just sit here doing nothing. Hero Shi is out there facing danger alone. There must be something I can do to help.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistThe job is done, we have already cleared the camp. He is returning now as we speak.
Niu Sanqi(hopeful eyes) Truly? That's wonderful news! I've been so worried. Thank you for reassuring me, Wanderer. (bows slightly)
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(Niu Sanqi was able to sleep peacefully at night.)
Niu Sanqi(raises an eyebrow) Sleep? I can't rest until I know Hero Shi is safe. Please, tell me more about what happened. Did you see him leave the camp unharmed?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistYes, he just wanted to admire the rain before he leaves. I just took off early before him.
Niu Sanqi(nods slowly) I see. Thank you for letting me know, Wanderer. Still, I feel it's best if I go check on him myself. (resolutely) I must ensure he returns safely
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(Hero Shi returned and thank Niu Sanqi for worrying about him.)
Niu Sanqi(bows deeply) I am relieved beyond measure, Wanderer. Thank you for bringing back news of Hero Shi's return. (nods firmly) Thank you for your guidance, Wanderer. I'll act right away-Hero Shi must not face this danger alone.
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(Niu Sanqi then rested knowing his hero is well)
Niu Sanqi(smiles warmly) Now that I know Hero Shi is safe, my heart is at ease. Thank you again, Wanderer. May you have a safe journey.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistSure
Niu Sanqi(bows slightly) Farewell, Wanderer. May the road rise to meet you.
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(You leave Niu Sanqi.)
Niu Sanqi(waves gently) Safe travels, Wanderer. Take care on your path.
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(Niu Sanqi was happy knowing Hero Shi is back.)
Niu Sanqi(nods with a smile) Yes, I am truly grateful. Hero Shi's safe return brings much joy to my heart. Thank you once more, Wanderer.
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(You told him that you and Shing Tian are now resting after warding off the bandits.)
Niu Sanqi(relieved) That's a tremendous relief to hear. I'm glad both of you are safe. (bows) Thank you, Wanderer, for all your efforts. I'll go and see Hero Shi soon
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(Niu Sanqi and Hero Shi had a party after he returned from the bandit camp.)
Niu Sanqi(nods firmly) Thank you for your guidance, Wanderer. I'll act right away-Hero Shi must not face this danger alone.

Niu Sanqi expresses gratitude and begins to ponder 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.

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.
