Talk to Balthus Dialogue Choices
| Possible Dialogue | Correct Response |
|---|---|

| “Just once, I’d like to be that guy who single-handedly turns the tide of battle.” | Answer: Worry that he’ll get himself killed. |
| “Up for some sparring? I mean, we don’t have to, but…” | Answer: Take him up on that. |

Ask a Question to Balthus Dialogue Choices
| Question Topic | Possible Dialogue | Correct Response |
|---|---|---|
| Ask about their likes. | “My likes? Ah! Money, fighting, women, and gambling- and not necessarily in that order.” | Answer: Give a rueful smile. |
| Ask about their dislikes. | “Probably bounty hunters. I’m too lazy to really worry about much else.” | Answer: Ask for more details. |
| Ask about dreams for the future. | “Oh, that’s easy. I wanna become Fódlan’s Superhuman King of Grappling! I already hold the title in Leicester, see?” | Answer: Commend that. |
| Ask about their worries. | “Can’t make money if I don’t gamble, and can’t gamble if I don’t make money. It’s a tough old world.” | Answer: Let that sink in for a moment. |
| Ask about their family. | “You came from a mountain village, right? My mom did as well, so I guess that means we’re sort of alike.” | Answer: Agree. |
| Ask about memories of the past. | “You talking about women? Because if not, most of my memories are of Holst. Well, and Hilda, I suppose.” | Answer: Be confounded. |
| Ask about their friends. | “There’s too many serious people around here. I’d rest easier if there were more oddballs, you know?” | Answer: Act dependable. |
| Ask about preferred fighting style. | “Are you kidding? Have you seen these fists? Though I guess I don’t mind swinging a weapon occasionally.” | Answer: Commend that. |
| Ask what they think of you. | “Wait, you actually care what other people think about you? Huh, that’s surprising.” | Answer: Laugh. |
| “Ah, you’re just my type- and a great fighter to boot!” | Answer: Rise to the challenge. | |
| Ask about any personal news. | “Not bad. I get to bust as many skulls as I want, which is great for blowing off steam.” | Answer: Give a pep talk. |
| “Actually, today’s kinda rough. Up a little too late last night, if you know what I mean…” | Answer: Be envious. |
