Chuffing out a laugh as he coaxed the fire to grow larger with a gentle breath, it didn't take very long for the cinder to become a full on flame in the hearth, the prince looking quite proud of himself as he turned to face Claude. "That will be unnecessary for now, though I reserve the right to hold such a promise over you until I see fit to use it." Joked with a smirk, then a rolling of his eyes at the mention of him cursing. "Exactly where is it you believe I picked up such a habit from? The professor was raised amongst mercenaries, after all." Was he joking still, or had Dimitri really picked up the habit of a curse or two from their beloved professor? Who was to say, really. With how little he even had the chance to joke around with his peers, it was tough to tell with Dimitri at times, most not even believing him capable of such jovial play, much like his ability to curse.
"I am pleased to hear the fire is to your satisfaction." That was genuine though, easily seen in the curve of a barely there smile as Dimitri went about removing unnecessary pieces of his armor. "I would wager such a storm to last a few hours at the very least; luckily, this cabin is well equipped for just that." There was enough wood stacked up next to the fireplace to last an entire week, along with a crate of rations enough to last the same, no doubt even slightly longer with it just being the two of them.
Setting his armor to the side, Dimitri shed yet another layer in the form of his overcoat as the fire heated their little space, it being handed over to Claude without even a blink of concerned blue eyes as the prince looked the other over. "Will this all be enough? There are a few blankets as well that were left here, though it would do well for you not to sweat, lest you grow all the colder."

There was currently one on each shoulder and another little sun leaning on his head; each had some dried pineapple and other treats clearly stashed in their cheek pouches.
Noooooo for once they did not raid the stash! Blinking at the King with wide, innocent eyes. They would never!.....this time. The teenager he addressed looked up at the sky innocently then back the way theyd come, chattering to themselves.
Was rereading the comics and thinking about how there were big moments in till's life which included his most important people. Being separated from his mother. running away beneath the meteors with ivan, and watching mizi get on stage against sua , along with watching her finally hold him after being shot.
but till reaching out during r6 after Ivan was shot - i know people online and elsewhere debated that till was kicking and screaming as they dragged him away, but i truly believe he couldn’t come to terms to what happened. Not fully present as he was lead away from the stage but he was reaching out, as if that could help, as if ivan wasn't finally out of reach. also the way the guard almost seems to be leaning down to check ivan, considering his vitals weren't exactly hit it makes sense; but i want to make it clear Ivan’s actions did negatively impact till, and even if that wasn’t intended, it still is a result of what ivan did. and i think the comic shows it so very well.
The Ivan that till sees it’s clear . this is a hallucination, it's a manifestation of his own self hatred along with his misunderstanding of ivan's character.
It's like hallucivan would be a broken record of past living being, it would never give answers of itself and just answer till with what his brain tells him. That's why hallucivan will keep being *a bother* just like he always knew him.
I'm making this guide because I noticed that while there are others with the same information elsewhere, many of them are incorrect or not as comprehensive as one might like. It started as my own personal notes, but I figured I'd go a little deeper and post it for anyone else like me who wishes to choose the "correct" dialog options/is curious what the choices not picked lead to, among other things. I plan on going through the main story to start, and then do guides for all advice/classroom questions as well as tea time and gifts for each character. This will be a post as I go project with no specific schedule in mind, so stay tuned for each chapter's guide as I will only be posting them as I complete them!! Please feel free to ask questions about any route though, or if you have something to add I may have missed and/or corrections to anything I might have gotten wrong!! I have an ungodly amount of knowledge and time into this game, may as well put it to use lol
All that being said, there WILL be spoilers!! I will do my my best to be as vague as I can overall, seeing as I can't block them out on tumblr, but I apologize if I miss something!!

- It should be mentioned that while it is possible to gain or lose approval with Jeralt, there are no rewards or penelties for this as he does not have supports like the other characters, though he was originally intended to have them according to the game files
- Similarly; Sothis' approval only matters if you plan on pursuing her paired ending/"romance" route. Dialog options are the only way to gain or lose points, so choices that gain approval are important if you want this path, otherwise they sereve no purpose
- With gaining approval between the three house leaders, you can only earn supports with them if you choose to teach their house, afterwards you can no longer gain or lose approval with the other two. The choices during the prologue that can gain you points simply serve as a headstart of sorts for whichever house you plan to choose in the long-run.
- Each route, of which there are four despite there only being three houses, has a story of its own with different characters only accessible in that specific route. Those characters are listed above under the Romance Options for both male and female Byleth since supports between characters/Byleth's chosen S support/Ending Route are the only things really affected by them. Characters with these route specific restrictions will become locked via their supports with all characters even if they were accessible before the timeskip
- There are many supports between all the characters that also become locked after the time skip/need to be accessed before a certain point or can only be unlocked after reaching a certain point in the story. I will list those in another post and link it once finished
- As far as I can tell, if you skip a scene of dialog, if there was a choice to gain or lose approval somewhere along it, it simply doesn't affect the approval rating it was tied to. However, I would imagine if you get until a choice needs to be made, it will count towards the tally should you skip after choosing it
----
Part One; Prologue: An Inevitable Enoucounter
General information:
- You don't need to follow Jeralt's instructions if you do not wish to
- You will only lose the battle if you, Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude all fall. - Because of this, on higher difficulties it may be better to simply let Jeralt handle most, if not all of the enemies he can
Dialog Choices (In Order):
(The choices that are bolded are the ones I tend to pick simply because I feel they fit or flow better than the others, they're just there for fun uwu)
Before battle (Game Start):
- Human, ghost, demon - You have to choose human to progress, she will make you choose again minus the one you picked the first time around if you answer ghost or demon, both of which earn same response of "Do not deceive, you would do well to keep your wit in line."
- War: "Massive armies clashing on a vast field, right? There hasn't been a battle like that in over three centuries..."
Girl: "You've described her to me before, I don't think I've ever met anyone like that.."
- "Oh, right" or "Of course" Both earn the same response but "of course" nets Jeralt approval +1 while "oh, right" is -1
Battle Dialog:
- Have the three kids talk to you (Byleth) if you'd like, it's just there as extra flavor. If not, here's what they say:
Edelgard: "You have a strange aura about you...You say you're a mercenary, so show me what you can do."
Dimitri: "Thank you. We are in your debt. It wouldn't do for us to fall in a place like this. Please, lend us your strength. Let's work together to drive our these thieves!"
Claude: "It's because of you guys I'm not dead right now. Thanks for that! I didn't expect to run into mercenaries like you in some remote village. The gods of fortune must be smiling on me!"
Unique boss dialog upon first initiated combat against/by Kostas (also a simple extra):
- Byleth - "Hey, you with the blank stare! Outta my way!"
- Dimitri, Claude, Edelgard - "I'm gonna kill you where you stand..."
- Jeralt - K: "What the?! Aren't you Jeralt the blade breaker? What's a renowned mercenary like you doing here?"
J: "I'm the one who should be complaining. I'm caught up in the mess you started!"
After battle w/ Sothis:
- "What are you talking about?" or "Sothis?" both earn "I was not able to recall my name... until just now."
- "I am no child." - "Ha! Such arrogance. You look the part, but are you truly an adult?"
"I'm less than a child?" - "Correct! You understnad." (+1 Sothis approval)
- "Thank you." - "There now. Is gratitude so much to ask? I did deem you worth saving, after all"
"You stopped time?" - "Hm. I do not hear your gratitude. Perhaps I should force you to leave?"
Either way you give your thanks and earn the same response as if you thanked her right off
- "What will happen when time resumes?" or "What now?" both earn "When time begins again, the axe will tear into your flesh, and you will surely meet your end."
- "Turn back the hands of time" - "Of course! I must turn back the hands of time!" (+1 Sothis approval)
"Keep time frozen until I'm safe" - "That is ridiculous! Oh, but perhaps..."
"I'll just stay here and wait to die" - "As if I could stand idly by and watch that come to pass! Oh, but perhaps..." (-1 Sothis approval)
After Battle:
"He is a stranger to me" & "I'm a bandit" both earn "Great sense of humor, this one. Clearly cut from the same cloth as the captain" from Alois BUT the first earns -1 approval from Jeralt while the second you get +1 from Alois instead
"That is correct" - "Is that so? Well, physical differences aside, your mannerisms do remind me of the captain."
- "The Knights of Seiros?" - E: "You haven't heard of the Knight's of Seiros? The most famous knights in all of Fodlan?
"I didn't know he was a captain" - "How curious. I'd wager the explaination for that is fascinating indeed." (+1 Edelgard Approval)
- Andrestian Empire: "A wise choice. Though the Empire has fallen from its former glory, the other regions are merely offshoots that pale in comparison." (+1 Edelgard Approval)
Fareghus: "Understood. Faerghus is a noble and distinguished kingdom that has always valued chivalry." (+1 Dimitri Approval)
Alliance: "Is that right? Well, that's a win for the Alliance, so I suppose I'm obligated to be happy." (+1 Claude Approval)
- At the choice to ruminate in your thoughts between Dimitri, Edelgard, and Claude it doesn't matter which one nor the order you pick them in as you will go through all three before progressing.
Edelgard: (She is a refined young woman...But I feel as though she is always evaluating me...)
Dimitri: (He seems quite sincere...But I sense a darkness lurking beneath...)
Claude: (His easy smile is striking...But that smile doesn't reach his eyes...)
After that, you all begin your trek to the Monastery
(End of Prologue)
Chapter One, Part One: White Clouds
General Notes:
- You are considered part of the church until choosing a house, this is a good point to save after completeing the first quest but before you report back to Rhea if you wish to do different routes in the future but do not wish to go through the prologue or charcter interactions again. Any dialog choices made during it will not have an effect on anything but approval points, which are easily gained even if you didn't choose whichever options would gain you one of the three's approval
- During your first quest, Informal Introductions, while you do have to speak to each leader to progress the quest, you do not have to actually go through all the students they will tell you about. It's just a general look into their stats as well as a short insight as to what the house leader thinks of them. Interesting, but not nessecary. When they ask if you would like to hear more, say no and it will end the conversation but count as "speaking" to them. They do not comment on this nor is there a penelty for not listening to them
- You can speak with many other students/faculty in greeting in this stage as well. It doesn't count towards anything, but again, it's an intersting look into the characters.
- In order to speak with those on the far end of the second floor (the offices/library), you either should go at any point beforespeaking with all three of the house leaders, or choose to keep exploring if prompted once speaking with the three, then head to the second floor, speak to who you wish and head back to the glowing spot at the entrance of the audience chamber where you started to complete the quest
Dialog Options:
-"Her?" - "You saw her in the courtyard earlier, didn't you? The archbishop...Lady Rhea."
"You've been here before?" - "I've never spoken of this to you before, but...many years ago, I was a knight here. I reported to the archbishop...Lady Rhea."
- "The archbishop?" & "Lady Rhea?" both earn "As you know, the majority of the folks in Fodlan are devout followers of the teachings or Seiros. The leader of that ridiculously large relious organization is the archbishop. Lady Rhea."
- "My name is..." Rhea: "A fine name indeed" (+1 Rhea Approval)
"..." - Seteth: "You must at least show the basic curtosy of telling us your name! Do you not think you are being a bit rude to the archbishop?"
Rhea: "It is alright, Seteth. My Dear, I am called Lady Rhea. I am the archbishop of the Church of Seiros.
In truth, I was only being polite. I already know your name, and what a fine name it is."
- "As a servent?" & "As a mercenary?" both earn "Nothing like that. They want you to teach, by the sound of it"
-"You're a physician?" - "(Good-natured laugh) I look too pretty for that line of work, do I? But yes, when I'm not teaching, I can be found in the infirmary."
"You're a songstress?" "Of course. Before I came here, I belonged to a renowned opera comapny. Perhaps you've heard of me? The Mittelfrank Opera Comapny's beautiful, peerless--"
After choosing house (Happens no matter the choice):
- "Do what you can to find out "- "Yes of course. I'll get to the bottom of it straight away" (+1 Hanneman Approval)
"There is no need" - I most strongly disagree! There absolutly is a need. My Crest research is of critical importance to the church, I'll have you know. Since you are now a professor here, I must insist that you aid in my research.
Of course, there are those who lack the foresight to aid in my endeavors, such as that stubborn Seteth. But such individuals are the rare exception."
Either way, you comply and discover you have a "Mystery Crest"
---
This is the end of the prologue/the initial start of chapter one where you become the professor for the class you picked earlier. I'm starting with the Blue Lions route as I feel it is best for the first playthrough because of how it plays out in the key points of the story. Ultimately it doesn't matter which order you play them in, it's simply my opinion this is a good place to start if you wish to better understand the main plotline (I'm also biased for Dimitri, but that's neither here nor there lol)
I will post the dialog options and other such important moments/information like that above as I complete the chapters. Again, I cannot promise this will be done in a timely manner nor on a schedule, simply when they are completed I will post them. I will link back to Chapter One of each route here as they're posted as well!!

"Thought I told you if I ever saw your ugly mug again, I'd rip your useless little fangs out?"
"If it isnt Ophelia, back from the dead! I havent forgotten my vow to kill you, stupid ape." Actually he had until now. Macaque was super low priority. But he was saving face, and also hated this guy. The fact this motherfucking dirty monkey knew about his physical weaknesses pissed him off to no end. "Do yourself a favor and keep your useless yap shut for once."
Kaz liked to think himself pretty adept at understanding what Gundham was saying no matter how convoluted, or...at least understand the general idea of whatever it was, but sometimes even plain words had his brain stuttering to a halt so quickly one could swear they smelled the burning of grinding metal. The guy got flustered when Kaz had asked for a simple kiss, just a peck! But this is what flirted back at??
Somehow? That made perfect sense, and Kaz loved hated it.
"I uh...what? Wait no, I mean-- What????" Cheeks heating up to a dizzying degree, the mechanic was left staring at Gundham's stupid face until gears finally clicked back into place after their sudden derailment.
"Ha! That's a good one!! Who is it that nearly flips his shit every time I ask for a k-kiss, again?" And who was it that couldn't even say the word without feeling embarrassed?
"How am I supposed to bite you from way over there, huh??" If Gundham was serious about this, he would have to come within Kaz's reach, seeing as he found himself unable to move from anxious anticipation
It never failed to send a spark of warmth through his chest whenever Az mentioned having his favored food or drink, it not even something Bryn had realized he'd let on until the second or third time he'd arrived to chilled bottles and a fresh meal waiting for him. Hell, even he hadn't realized he'd had a preference until Az pointed it out, it simply never being something he thought much about in his day to day. He ate what he could when he could for so long, it never struck him that he leaned towards specific things whenever the option was allowed.
Though, even caught up in that warm, happy, love filled feeling, he hadn't missed the confusion around the reason for his prolonged stay, it pulling a fond chuckle out of the Nord. "Lad, there is no job, it was just an excuse to get away for a little while. It was Delvin's idea, guess he thought I could use the break with how hectic everything has gotten around the guild." And given how heavy the bags under his eyes were? Delvin was right to send Brynjolf away for a little while. "Don't get me wrong, I'm happy the guild's starting to find it's footing again, but it's far more than I'm used to handling on my own."
Still, he seemed happier than he'd ever been, though one could argue that was thanks to present company rather than the growing prosperity of the Guild.
"I wouldn't mind a trip into the city, just so long as you're willing to deal with any good samaritians 'warning' you about who you're associating with." Said with a smirk and a laugh as he reached for his boots, it never failing to amuse him whenever someone 'informed' Az that he was with the Guild.
