NOTE: During this episode you will join a boy in a pre-estabilished order. It doesn’t depend on LOM and can’t be changed. 

!! Spoilers Ahead !!

⊗ Locations marked with ⊗ are not guaranteed but highly probable

(0) L’O’M doesn’t change
(+) L’O’M increases
(-) L’O’M decreases 

Mery is missing! You will offer to help the research!

Miiko

• “I know Mery.” (+5)
• “I feel so useless.” (-5) [V]
• “You are the Leader of this guard, you have other responsibilities.” (0)

Objective: Find Ykhar and Jamon in front of H.Q. doors.

If you go there directly you will save maana, but if you want some extra dialogues and raise some LoM’s you can find some people around.

You can also find the boys in front of your room, no dialogue options will be available.

Jamon (Forge ⊗):

• Why not keep your breastplate?  (+5)
• Why not keep your spear? (0)
• Why not keep your axe? (-5) [V]

You will also have a chance to talk to:

Kero (infermary ⊗)

• I understand. (-5)
• Stay strong, Kero… (+5)
• (Leave.) (0) [N]

Ykhar (Outside the Crystal Hall ⊗, she often only appears when you’ve met some of the others):

• But you’re carring a ton of paper and notebooks. (0) [N]
• Why don’t you always have it with you?  (+5)
• Hurry up and find it, then… we are in a hurry. (-5)

If you want to talk to Leiftan, go to the Central Pavilion (exit and go back if he is not there at the first try, keep trying, he’ll pop). Lastly, go to the Great Door where Ykhar is waiting for you.

Leiftan: 

• It’s possible it’s nothing, and he’s just lost in the forest. (-5)  [V]
• I agree… (+5)
• I’m not really sure what to say. (0)

Objective: Explore the forest to find Mery.

If you try to go toward the mushrooms circle, Ykhar will tell you that it’s not the right way, so go right (or go left, it will cost you 6 maana) toward the [Deep Forest].

Ykhar

I think so, too. But because of her stubbornness, her son is lost in the forest.

• We’re going to find him, don’t worry. (0)
• You seem quite rigid all of a sudden. (-5) [V]
• I hope he’s okay… (0)

I’ve been in the guard longer than you have and … In that time, we’ve lost several members. Each time, we say “they’re going to come back. They’re going to come home” and …. They never did.

• Come on Ykhar, don’t lose hope…we’re going to find him. (0)
• (That’s true, I haven’t been here for long… Maybe she’s right.) (0) [V]
• (Hmmm…I’m not too sure what to think.) (0)

Keep going forward, another dialogue will await you at the [Rocky path]; at the [Elder’s Passage]  you’ll meet Mery. If you don’t have these dialogues, go back and forth.

Ykhar: 

Why did you stray away from your mother?!

• Hey! Leave him alone, he’s just a kid! (-10) [V]
• You could be a little less harsh… (+10)
• (I’d better not interfere here.) (0)

Objective: Go back inside H.Q.

You’ll have a choice to make:

• (Take him to his mother) [V]
• (Go see Miiko) (0)

Objective: Go back to see Miiko. / Bring the little one back to his mother.

They’re both good. If you pick the first the mother will be resting and you will have to go to Miiko anyway; she won’t be happy you disobeyed her orders. In the second case you will see Miiko first and go to the mother after.

Miiko:

• You seem exhausted. (+5)
• Are you going to be okay? (0)
• (Say nothing) (-5) [V]

Objective: Spend some time in H.Q. After all, you don’t have anything else to do!

You will meet several people, before ending caught up in a… situation, in the Hall of Doors. Leiftan is not always necessary to proceed so if you want to talk to him find him first. You can have some of these dialogues later on.

• Hey, let me go! (0)
• (Lash out) (-5) [V]
• [Person with the highest LOM], is that you? (+5) (I got Ykhar XD)

• It’s sweet (+5)
• … (0)
• At each their own. (-5)

• Don’t you have a father? (+5)
• Don’t you have any brothers or sisters? (-5) [V]
• You don’t have any family at all? (0)

Kero (In the hall of doors)

• (Come to Kero’s defense) (+5 with Kero and +5 with the boy with the highest LOM)
• (Do nothing) (0) [V]
• (Make a supportive gesture towards Kero) (+5 Kero)

The boy with the highest LOM or your crush will help Kero. Then…

Objective: Go back to your room. 

You will sleep until morning.

Objective: Find the meeting location, then go.

Go to the Crystal room just to find out they’re not there, then go back to the Hall of Doors; you’ll meet Kero ⊗. You can also skip going to the crystal room and save 4 maana, Kero should show up anyway (after a few attempts perhaps)

Kero: 

… ahah!

• Don’t make fun of me… I was so happy to be involved, I forgot to ask for the details. (+5)
• It’s not funny. This mission is really stressing me out. (-5) [V]
• One day, I promise, I’ll have learned how not to be such a bird-brain. (0)

Go to the dining hall; you might meet Chrome (in the pantry ⊗) and Alajéa (in front of your room ⊗) on the way. If you meet Alajéa before Chrome (and you have the dialogue below with her) they will have an exchange. I owe to tell you that if you find Alajéa you will end up spending quite a bit of maana more (around 50, id say?)

Alajéa:

• E-excuse me?!(+5)
• Leiftan is not really my type. (0)
• I mean no, but I wouldn’thave minded if there was! (-5)

If talked to Alajéa and she joined you will have some dialogues with her during the meeting.

Alajéa: 

• Alajea, please, stop. (+5)
• I hope you’re not going to be doing that during the entire meeting. (-5)
• (Ignore) (0)

If you aren’t with Alajéa, you will talk to Ykhar.

Ykhar:

You should relax….

• I can’t… (0)
• This, coming from you? (0) [V]
• I’m trying, I’m trying… (+5)

You will be paired up with Valkyon for the upcoming reconnaissance mission. The order of the boys: Valkyon > Ezarel > Nevra can’t be changed; you will be able to choose only during the last part (well, Miiko will pick for you).

You will have to ask a few questions to go on, no LOM changes, you will have to ask everything.

You, over there.

• Will we be wearing a particular sign, so that the participants can recognize each other?
• What is the real purpose of this mission?
• What should we do when we meet this creature?

Objective: Go to the gardens to train with Jamon.

Go to the One hundred years cherry tree. You will receive a tutorial on QTE and you will be able to pratice. 

bow

hammer

sword

• Alright… (Well, I mean, if he’s asking.) (-5)[V]
• Are you sure? (0)
• I refuse to. I don’t want to hurt you. (+5)

Gardienne?

• I’m okay, I’m okay… (+5)
• Couldn’t you have hit a little less hard? (-5)[V]
• That really hurt, Jamon.. (0)

Objective: Go to the infirmary to have your leg examined.

Obviously Jamon beat us, literally, although involuntarily XD. You will fall asleep and Valkyon will wake you up (it could have been worse)

Objective: Go on exploration in the forest.

Valkyon

Would you have the physical and mental strength to kill your enemy?

• Well, if it’s a really dangerous creature, yes, I think so. (-5)
• I don’t know, I’ve never killed anything before! (0) (Dialogue 2) [V]
• I don’t think so… (0)

(Dialogue 2)

I hope for your sake that you’ll have to kill as late as possible.

• I just hope I never have to kill anything. (-5)[V]
• I guess I’ll find out when the time comes… (+5)
• (End the dialogue) (0)

You might/should meet Ezarel [Cypress Clearing], Kero [Deep Forest] and/or Nevra and Chrome [Rocky Path]; you can find kero even during other missions. When you get at the Elder’s Passage (although it can happen elsewhere too), you might hear a sound. With the advent of ANE this dialogue might be mandatory to proceed (I’ve always got it when I replayed) but it didn’t use to be; just in that case, don’t go to the end of the path before you get it, you won’t have another chance. The places I mentioned are not the only ones where you can have those dialogues, but they have a good chance.

Valkyon

• (Go see where the noise is coming from) (-5)
• (Insist with Valkyon) (+5)
• (Continue our way) (0)

(Gardienne persuaded Valkyon using puppy eyes. The Player L’O’M rises 40 points.)

Valkyon

Exactly. I’ve noticed that you always consider your actions carefully.

• What do you mean? Did you have no part in assigning partners? (+5)
• Me, I like him… I don’t understand why you don’t appreciate him. (-5)[V]
• I’ve never managed to do a mission with her. (0)

I already know she’s not the kind of person I get along with.

• You judge her, but you don’t actually know anything about her… (-5)[V]
• And what type of person would you get along with? (0)
• It’s a shame, I’m sure she’s kind deep down. (+5)

• (Well, I like Alajea.) (0)
• I’ll admit I don’t like her that much. (0) (Dialogue 2)[V]
• (I don’t have much of an opinion on her, so never mind.). (0)

Dialogue 2

• I get the feeling she’s not very honest. (+5) 
• I don’t know how to explain. (0)[V]
• She annoys me. (-5)

Keep the right and go on. You will find a … creature at the [Heather Den] .

Ezarel

• (Talk about this bad feeling with Ezarel) (0)
• (Say nothing to Ezarel) (0)[V]

The first option gives a few more dialogues lines.

Finish your exploration (at the [Rigid Grove]), you can then go back and have a last dialogue

He has an excellent memory.

• And you don’t? (0)
• Unlike me. (+5)
• Do it fast then. (-5)[V]

Objective: Go back to H.Q.

Once you’re back at the HQ (Hall of doors) you might have this dialogue with Ezarel:

Ezarel

• Wait Ezarel! (0)
• Wait Ezarel! (0) (Dialogue 2)
• (Continue) (0)

• No, but I would have liked to spend a little time with you. (0, +5 on high lom)
• No, nothing. (0)

• (I should be looking for its owner…) (0) [V]
• (I should throw this horror out.) (0)

The choice has no effect, you will still have to capture it.

• (Catch it by the tail) (0)
• (Try to bait it with a piece of string) (0)

You will… manage, somehow.

• (I’m sure it’s Miiko!) (0)
• (I’m Sure it’s Karuto!) (0) [V]
• (Maybe he doesn’t have a master?) (0)

• She’s not that easy to handle… (-5)[V]
• She didn’t have time for that much ravaging. | She peed on my bed… (+15)  This one changes depending on the wanting to kick her out (you get the second one) or bring her back choice (you get the first), but the bonus is the same
• She destroyed my sheets…/ (0)

The following part will also depend on whether you wanted to kick her out or to bring her back to her owner, but you will still get the next objective in the end:

Objective: Meet up with Nevra

Leiftan: 

• Nothing special… ahah… (0)
• Not much to be honest. (-5)
• I wasn’t sure I heard you right. (+5)

• (Set out on the mission without Nevra) (0)
• (Wait a little longer) (+10) (If you have high LOM, dialogue 2)[V]

• Okay… (+5)
• No way. (-5)
• (Say nothing.) (0)

Objective: Explore the forest a little more. Maybe you will find something interesting?

At [Rocky Path] you should meet Ezarel.

Nevra: 

You seem annoyed.

• Yeah, a little… I’ve been exploring this forest in vain for three days. (-5)
• Disappointed, more like… I expected to see more action. (0)
• Oh, not at all… I’m just a bit sick of finding no viable clues.  (+5)

Then

• Ykhar, Alajéa… (-5) 
• Chrome! (+5) 
• … (0)

Keep going, go towards [Rigid Grove] then towards [Group of Birches] then towards[Natural Thicket]. After a brief conversation with Nevra, a new location will open [Twisted Tree Plain].

Nevra:

No. I have very good hearing though.

• (I’d always heard that vampires had super senses, I should have ask him about that.) So that’s true? (-5)
• Yes, I think I remember you saying that. (-5)
• Isn’t that annoying? (+0) (Dialogue 2) [V]

Dialogue 2

• Hearing so well… I can’t stand hearing the tiniest noise when I sleep, for example… (0) [V]
• Hearing so well… I don’t know if I could stand hearing everything more loudly than usual. (0)
• Hearing so well… I don’t hear very well, myself. (Although, that might be because I have my head in the clouds.) (0/+5)

After talking to the dryad, go back to the HQ.

Objective: Go back to H.Q.

After talking with Miiko go to your room. You will have a dream and, depeding on Crush you might see Ezarel, Miiko and Ykhar, Valkyon or Nevra. (With a high LOM with everyone and without a crush set I got Miiko and Ykhar who told me that soon or later I’ll have to choose XD)

Objective: Find a way to leave H.Q. without getting noticed.

Go towards the great door, you could meet Miiko Ykhar and one of the boys. Since ANE came out it looks like you meet Miiko at the Path of Arches, then Ykhar at the central pavillion, then the boy at the fountain.

Miiko: 

Gardienne, where are you wandering to?

• (Stay sure of myself) (0)
• (Repress my stress) (-5)[V]
• (Admit everything) (+5)

After talking to Miiko, if you go to the fountain, you will find yourself at the Great door and you will escape, no matter which one of these options you choose:

• (Wait a little longer)
• (Come back later)[V] (maana efficient)
• (Give up) (dialogue 2)

Dialogue 2

• (Wait a little longer)
• (Come back later)[V]

Go to the dryad, she will ask you to remove a seal and things will turn ugly.

POV will switch to Miiko and you will be able to pick which boy will come rescue you.

Objective: Leave the forest.

Objective: Go to the infirmary.

Eweleïn:

Drink this, you will understand soon.

• (Trust Ewelein and drink it)  (+5)
• (Refuse to drink it) (-5)[V]
• (Ask for explanations) (0)

Objective: Go see Miiko to explain everything that happened in the forest.

Objective: Find something to do…

You might meet several people:

Ezarel: 

That’s what being possessed like you were will do to a person.

• Possessed? Like in the Exorcist? (+5)
• Possessed? Isn’t that a little too strong a name? (0) [V]
• Possessed? I didn’t get that impression. (-5)

Nevra: 

Edward Aloysius Murphy.

• Junior? (0)
• And that would be? (0) (Dialogue 2)[V]
• Oh, I only know Murphy’s law… (+5)

• Sure I do. (-5)[V]
• No. (0)

Valkyon

Well, it sounds like you were manipulated very easily.

• Uh thank you, that sure is nice. (-5)[V]
• Maybe that’s because I’m almost human. (0)
• I’m sorry… (+5)

 Kero: 

She is a good friend.

• Oh really? I thought she was your girlfriend. (+5)
• And nothing more? (-5)[V]
• Okay. (0)

• Oh Ykhar, let me guess: you were looking for me? (+5)
• Oh Ykhar, what are you doing there? (0)
• Oh Ykhar, it’s just you. (-5)

You will have to pick a boy to escort you. If you have Leiftan among the options (you must have high lom with him, we extimate around 30-40) you can pick him, but he won’t be able to come and you will have to pick among the other 3.

Picking Leiftan

(And Nevra wins the prize: “She is already dead.” Everyone: ?!?? Nevra: “The dryad, not Gardienne”)

You will have to do a new QTE. Multiclick will be introduced: it’s a circle with a number on it that represents the number of times you have to click on it to make it disappear.

This is Valkyon when you lose… I wish I had lost the QTE with Nevra and Ezarel too, now XD

After the training, at the end of the meeting…

Objective: Grab your weapon.

Objective: Accomplish your mission with the Hamadryad.

Go to the heart of the forest until you get to  “Faithful Alley” then “Tomb of the twisted tree.”

 Go to the heart of the forest until you get to  “Faithful Alley” then “Tomb of the twisted tree.” You can use this map to navigate the area (click to enlarge): 

You will have to make a few choices, purely choreographic.

• (Continue the small talk) (0)
• (Attack) (0)
• (Ask for help) (0) [V]

• (Come between them to reason with the hamadryad) (0)
• (Do nothing) (0)
• (Leave him to it and take charge of the tree to kill the hamadryad) (0)[V]

And to win a QTE, in order to get the illustration.

Ezarel will invite everyone out for a drink

• (Accept) (0) [V]
• (Decline) (0)

Objective: Go change in your room before joining the boys in the kitchen.

No matter what answer you’ll give, they will persuade you, but you will go to your room first, and someone will knock at your door…

aaand cliffhanger, ofc.
