Cycle 35 performs the final civil-war threshold check and opens Angelica’s no-death Golden Key route. A qualifying revolt is delayed to Cycle 36 rather than appearing immediately.
Spoiler warning: All newly eligible choices and outcomes are linked below. A route-union entry means the scene can occur on at least one valid history, not that every listed scene can coexist in one playthrough.
Return to the Cycle 34 walkthrough
Recommended Order
- Resolve any forced major intervention before planning the selectable morning.
- Play recruitment returns and corruption returns before scenes that check the current Round Table.
- Clear fixed and delayed story audiences, then resolve the random grievances actually drawn on this route.
- Use afternoon conversations before the Round Table only when their state change helps the assignments you are about to make.
- Assign deadline quests first, repair armor before lethal work, and send only callbacks you want competing for the next cycle’s character slots.
- Continue through every result panel until the first Cycle 36 Tower View appears.
Morning Assembly
Direct story audiences, callbacks, quest results, deaths, and current-cycle injections are assembled before random grievances. Same-character conflicts do not delete a valid delayed scene; they move it to the first later cycle where that character is free.
| Direct audiences before filling | Random grievances added |
|---|---|
| 0 or 1 | 2 or 3 |
| 2 | Exactly 2 |
| 3 | 1 or 2 |
| 4 | Exactly 1 |
| 5 or more | None |
The exact live pool is route-dependent because earlier draws permanently remove wrappers and only a separate location-introduction scene activates a county pack. An Act Three county opening starts its quest chain; it does not activate that county’s random pack by itself.
Fixed and Newly Eligible Audiences
| Scene | Earliest route | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| All Counties Reunited | Audience Phase End | Rally all 11 counties and reach an audience-phase ending without already owning the Golden Key. This can arrive later when the final county chain takes longer. |
| Angelica’s Golden Key Plan | Optional Dialogue | At the Cycle 35 transition or later, Angelica must be recruited and no Knight can have died. Her Golden Key conversation unlocks Angelica’s solo search. |
Inherited Route Pool
This stage also carries 26 explicitly linked earlier roots. Their choices are not duplicated here; use the Conditional Audience Choices reference and follow only the entries whose prerequisites your route actually satisfies.
Newly Unlockable Quests
| Quest route | Unlock source | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| In Search for the Golden Key: No, just ask this man nicely. | Angelica’s Golden Key Plan | Angelica must be recruited at the Cycle 35 transition or later, and no Knight can have died. |
| The Legend of the Golden Key: Let’s go in search of the Golden Key. | All Counties Reunited | All 11 counties must be rallied and the Golden Key must not already be owned. |
Earlier Quest Results Reaching This Stage
Route Warnings
- A delayed audience’s target is a minimum, not a promise. A shared visitor moves the later addition forward until the first free cycle.
- A death removes that Knight’s already scheduled future audiences before the death announcement is added.
- A newly triggered low-affinity departure is checked after the current morning is assembled, so its departure card targets a later cycle.
- County quest openings and county location introductions are different scenes. Only the latter unlocks a county’s random audience pack.
Final Civil War Check and the Golden Key
The last civil-war check occurs here at 22 satisfaction, but a qualifying revolt targets Cycle 36. Separately, Angelica’s Golden Key conversation becomes available from this transition if she is recruited and no Knight has died.
