Raise the right relationships
Start with the ally you want to recruit or the conversations you want to see. Use a preferred gift or an inn meal when available, then check whether the next conversation can be viewed. Some conversations are tied to chapter windows.
What follows into Replay?
Support is among the global systems retained across chapter replay. That makes another Part I path useful for missed relationships, but it does not remove route-specific recruitment conditions. See Replay for the separate chapter-snapshot rules.
How Eshmel’s ending choice works
Eshmel can begin building support through the Pale Raven’s Perch in Part I and continue in person in Part III. At the end of the game, a character who reaches support level 5 with Eshmel can be chosen for a paired ending and an S-rank scene. The scene may be romantic or platonic; this page does not claim a complete romance or same-sex eligibility list.
