A Squire's Tale–Outwit the faeries to rescue the prince of England!

@Xagarath Thank you! I kept the amulet, then traded it so I could have my fortune told, I’ll keep hold of it next time

@Alex_Parker_Roberts I romanced Grimbald and didn’t get pulled back to Faery

Is it possible to romance Countess Catherine?

yes, iirc you need 65 relationship with her, ask her to give you her symbol before the tournament and either gain the torunament or lose to her in joust.

I’m struggling to become a knight still
How do you get your honor and loyalty up high while still impressing her

Here’s a few things that might help:

  • Don’t take the amulet after defeating the priest
  • Uncover a clue during dinner at the abbey
  • Defeat the 3 guards on the second day of the fair
  • Foil the assassin
  • Avoid taking sides in the squabble after the tournament
  • Help the needy when travelling across Cockaigne
  • Move quickly in the castle without wasting time

You might not need loyalty to become a knight.
You can focus on honor, lower your loyalty and side with your family in the last chapter. You will become a knight this way too.

Wonder when Catherine will address you by name. I’ve named my horse before I named myself.

You get to pick your own name not long after that - about a third of the way into chapter one.

Feeling sad that this great game had been unjustly critised in play store with a 1 star rating that hurt its overall rating

One of the comment was " what is the point of romance when you can’t have sex with them ? " i am really amused with his mind set , obviously he play too much Witcher type of video game that corrupt his mind.

Another was complaining about paid wall ( as usual) , but he said Life of Mercenary is Free ? I can only assume he somehow manage to download a hacker’s version .

But this game definately deserve a rating of at least 4.5

What baffles me about that first one is I did actually write sex scenes into the game - although they are optional and not very explicit…

Thank you, anyway - much appreciated!

By the way I seem to get stuck. I always get captured at the end with the family. Is there anyway to escape? Please help.

I experienced one with the lone squire, so they are there and accessible.

Sometimes the feedback given is actionable, and sometimes it is not.

Which part are you having difficulty with? Is it confronting your father, or the section after that where you sometimes have to fight Catherine?

Well usually I romance her so no problem there it’s the confrontation part

You can win the actual confrontation several different ways:

  • High Honor
  • High Loyalty
  • Having found enough clues about the Prince’s kidnap beforehand (which allows to to argue your knowledge of the kidnapping)
  • Having actually rescued your sister, or having made enough progress towards finding her even if she wasn’t rescued.
  • Uncovering certain secrets

You can also significantly lower the difficulty of that check by:

  • bringing allies with you
  • having your companion survive
  • either successfully sneaking into the castle or convincing your father you can be trusted
  • passing a skillcheck to get closer before you’re noticed

Hope that helps!
