Btw…is it possible to get ahead of your rival school at the party for creme de la creme competition???

Yes! Anytime you’re interacting with Archambault students in public, you can increase or decrease Gallatin’s standing in the contest.

Does anyone know how to romance blaise I need help

Man, I played like five different playthroughs already. It is so good! Hartmann will always have my heart but the poly with Delacroix and Max was my favorite romance :heart:. The princess was pretty good too. ugh, who am I kidding, I can’t fucking choose a favorite :sob:

@Kalpana I recommend paying particular attention to your choices during the party at Archambault, the Winter Ball, the exams (you can boost Gallatin’s score by getting a good exam mark) and the Sports Day. Success is based on your stats, eg if you’re being graceful and calm it would be Poise, if you’re doing something sneaky it would be Intrigue. Hope that helps!

@StarWarsMaster Blaise’s storyline is very spoilery so I’ll handle this with care. Have you played all the way through, and if not which chapter are you in?

Adding to what Hannah said, doing well with feeding the miners, and doing well with your apprenticeship/work week in the town, also increases your likelihood to win. At least, I noticed a Gallatin stat increase when I did well with them.

Blaise romance only show up and become a possibility in the later stage, but you need to commit to Blaise alone even if you don’t see her/him , don’t engage another romance relationship if you really set your heart to Blaise

Well, as similar in Real Life, true love comes from truthfulness :wink:

Regarding the Blaise romance I was able to get away with romancing Blaise and being engaged to Auguste. Perhaps the restriction applies only to Gallatin students? Lol after the reveal with Lady Renaldt I had just assumed that it was over with Auguste so I jumped on Blaise the moment I could, felt quuite awkward after we escaped and I found out that the engagement was still on…

Yep that’s intentional :slight_smile: I decided to be relaxed about letting people romance Blaise rather than giving too many restrictions, since you meet them again so late in the game. I figured it would be a shame to miss out for people who were playing the first time, yearned for Blaise but romanced someone else, and didn’t know Blaise would show up again!

I didn’t know Blaise was a romance option. So happy right now. :sob:

Squee!! @HarrisPS :two_hearts:

Character development continues to shine as one of your mainstay strengths … just a fyi:

My Blair MC ended up engaged with the Prince, plotting Headmistress’ downfall in the Black Sea resort … the palace was based on the Russian nobility retreats, right :wink:

@trevers17 – I was a smashing success in the dressage competition so I was the envy of both schools.

I won the dressage competition too, but then I tried to be polite to Auguste and somehow it backfired and everyone laughed at me :joy:

In that case @Eric_knight’s post is a good summary - I’d add a couple of things: make sure you don’t commit to another romance, make sure to get sent to the mines, tell Blaise you have feelings for them, then don’t abandon them when escaping. (If Blaise ends up getting caught not by you leaving on purpose, you can still keep the romance - it’s only if you deliberately abandon them that it breaks.)

Stats are confusing. Was consistently helpful and kind to Karson, but occasionally this lead to my relationship going down with them? Having Gonzalez refer to my male MC as potentially becoming Rosario’s “princess consort” was weird - not sure why you couldn’t simply have masculine titles as well? In a playthrough where I agreed to marry Gonzalez, at the end when I choose who I want to spend time with and I choose to spend it with my betrothed, I get an error message which prevents me from finishing the game :rage:

Hello! I’m so sorry about that bug. It’s a known issue and will be being patched very soon - the files will be being processed in the evening Eastern Standard Time.

I’ll check the “princess consort” wording - it was probably a typo that slipped through. Edit: yep, it was an instance in Chapter 2 where I accidentally used a Rosario honorific for the PC. I’ve sent the corrected file over.
