Example of Successful Conversation

(anxiously sniffing the ground, ears drooping) Woof ... can't find the scent ... Buster is so useless ... woof woof ...
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistHow can I help you my good dog
(ears perk up, tail wagging slightly) Woof! You ... you can understand Buster ?! Woof! That's amazing! Buster really needs help finding his master ... woof. Can you help me? Woof!
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistYes ofcourse let's find your master
(tail wagging harder, eyes brightening) Woof! Thank you, thank you! Buster's master is very tall, wears grey clothes, has warm hands, and gives Buster bones ... The scent is special ... woof .. a scent Buster loves.
Where Winds Meet Protagonistlet's go
(standing up, tail wagging excitedly) Woof! Let's go! Buster will lead the way ... woof. Follow me, kind person!
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(follows Buster)
(sniffing the ground, tail wagging) Woof! This way ... Buster remembers this path ... woof. Master often comes this way ...
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(keep following and help buster)
(tail wagging, focused on the ground) Woof! Thank you ... Buster can feel a bit of the scent here ... woof. It's faint, but it's there ...
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(let me check buster before you go)
(sitting down, tail still) Woof ... sure, kind person. Buster trusts you ... woof. Check away ...
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(is your master here?)
(sniffing the air, tail drooping slightly) Woof ... no, not here ... woof. The scent is too old ... Buster can't pick it up well anymore ...
Where Winds Meet Protagonistlets keep searching
(tail wagging, standing up) Woof! Yes, let's keep searching! Buster won't give up ... woof. Master is out there somewhere ...
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistWe got this Buster!
(tail wagging happily, eyes bright) Woof! Thank you, kind person! Buster feels so much better now; Buster knows what to do, woof woof!

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.

Dog Gifts

Friend Gift

We are still researching regarding what gift this NPC gives. Please stay tuned for updates.

Dog Location

The Dog can be seen digging near some pile of wood in Twinbeast Ridge.
