How to unlock the Chivalrandy achievement in Bound by Flame - Definitive Guide
Like with the other, all the side quests involving him must be completed. However, unlike the other characters, there are a few conversations that MUST be completed too. These conversations can be completed at anytime up to the point in Act 3 where you are about to give Lyestas the crystals as part of the main quest, if Randval is in the party then you can give the crystals to Lyestas and still finish the conversations before reaching the fire where everyone else is gathered around.
During the conversation with Mathras around the fire, you MUST allow Randval to accompany you. Saying yes to Randval at this point should spark another flirtatious banter between you two about Happy and Live being in the same sentence. Mathras will evertually interrupt telling you to get on with it.
-If you choose Randval and the next dialouge comes from Edwen or Rhelmar then you did something wrong and you will not be able to romance Randval
Even if you say yes to more than one person to go with you, as long as you get the extra dialogue form Randval, you can pick Randval up after the meet and go on to kill the Concubine with no problems getting the romance option.
Randval MUST be present at each of the Concubine fights. Stalker, Watcher, Creator, and Guardian. You can still take Randval to kill the Creator, return to camp to get Rhelmar's final quest complete, then pick up Randval to finish the rest of the Concubines and you will still get the chance to romance him.
-If you decide to romance Rhelmar, save before freeing the Prince's souls, then reload after and pass on Rhelmar. You can only romance 1 person per save file.
Here are the two conversation topics which need to be correctly finsihed before Act 3 Chapter 2.
1. The first topic, “What is the Order of the Emberknights?”
a. “Stick with me, And you’ll get your wish.” – Leads to possible romance.
b. “Well don’t expect me to help you.” – Fail, unable to romance later.
2. The last topic, “So what did you abandon when you entered into the order of the Emberknights?”
a. “I won’t ask you again.” - Fail, unable to romance later.
b. “This could be the last chance you get to talk about it.” Leads to possible romance.
c. “And you want me to trust you?” - lead to the previous two choices, possibly results in a failure to romance. (best to not even try this one then.)
Here are the side quests.
You can answer no to some of Randval's quests in Act 1, and still be able to complete them. You should NOT do this because it may cause an issue later when trying to get the option to romance him.
Act 1
The duel - beat Randval in a one on one battle.
The recruitment of Randval - speak to Captain about a possible new recruit.
Act 2
Randval the loner - Allow Randval to recon. After he returns you will need to take him with the attack an enemy caravan (its the bridge to the SW near the watch tower. Any deviation from this quest once it is accepted will result in failing.)
Randval potion - this is only available to the Demon path, if you get it you might as well complete it just to be safe. Find the plants to loot for the items to return to Randval.
Act 3
Knight in distress - Find Randval in the Southern section of Blackfrost's Domain, called the East Wing.
You will also get
Act 1
-The duel
-The recruitment of Randval
Act 2
-Randval the loner (Allow him to do his recon and SAVE the moment you get this mission, because if you choose a wrong path to attack the convoy you will fail the quest)
-Randval potion (IMPORTANT! This quest is not needed to seduce him!)
Act 3
-Knight in distress
Once you do all these quests take him with you when you plan your final attack to fight ALL the concubines (select him when your companions plan their assault in front of the bonfire).
When you defeat the last one (the Guardian) in front of the Palace, he will say that he likes you. just choose the first option and you will get the achievement.
Missable!
There's no way to track seduction progress in the game so it can be very hard to tell just how close or far off you may be from one romance or another. For this reason, I highly recommend doing everything you can to put yourself in a positive light with the person you are trying to seduce. You should also note that per playthrough you can not have same sex relationships because the game doesn't allow you to seduce same sex companions. Save the game at the start of Act III if you intend to earn both opposing sex seductions in a single run. Also be sure to exhaust the dialogue options of your love interest after every major quest and at the beginning of every act.
Randval doesn't require any morale alignments. Unlike the other characters, there is no room for error in his seduction requirements. You must exhaust his dialogue options and complete the requirements below.
In order to get on Randval's good side, you can fulfill the following actions;
Act I
- Complete The Duel side quest.
- Complete The Recruitment of Randval side quest.
Act II
- Complete the Randval the Loner side quest and take Randval with you to the caravan.
- Complete the Randval Potion side quest. (Only available if you're Possessed)
Act III
- Complete the Knight in Distress side quest.
- Take Randval with you to kill the Concubines. (Trophy Unlocked)
Fulfilling the requirement for this trophy will also give you the Without fear, without reproach trophy.
Special Dialogue Notes
Choose Dialogue: What is the Order of the Emberknights?
Answer: Stick with me, And you’ll get your wish.
Choose Dialogue: So what did you abandon when you entered into the Order of the Emberknights?
Answer: This could be the last chance you get to talk about it.
Attention , you can only seduce one character in one playthrough . To do this, in Act 3, Chapter 1, we make a save when you are sent to Mafras to develop a plan of attack on the Blackfrost fortress. Having seduced, we load up and seduce another character.
Quests required to seduce Rendval:
Act 1, Chapter 1 - "The Duel". Randval will challenge you to a duel for fun. We win.
Act 1, chapter 1 - we go to the Tavern and ask Randval in detail about his family. He will refuse to talk, but press him by saying that this may be the last day of his life.
Act 1, Chapter 1 - “The Recruitment of Randval”. Randval will ask to join you as a mercenary. Let's go to the Captain.
! Act 2, chapters 1 and 2 - "Randval the Loner". At the beginning of the 2nd act we save, because because of this quest I had to replay part of the game, since it messed up the plot. Randval will ask for reconnaissance. We allow it. He'll be back for Chapter 2. Then we go to stop the “caravan of the undead.”
(Only available if you are possessed) Act 2, Chapter 2 - After talking with the Elven Prince, Randval will offer to make a potion. We collect 5 branches and take them to the recipient.
Act 3, Chapter 1 - "A Knight in Distress". After reconnaissance with Mafras, we return to camp and learn from Liestas that Randval is lost. Let's go on a search!
Act 3, chapter 2 - at a meeting around the fire, we choose Randval (If he says that he has a meaning in life and showers our character with compliments (Small dialogue between your characters (Lines 6-8)), it means that we will get a trophy). We weigh the lyuli with all four Concubines (Including theGuardian). After the cutscene in which the passage to Blackfrost's palace opens, we look for Randval. Having found it, we listen to everything he thinks about you. Dialogue, Seducing. Roman on the stairs... and in full view of the entire team... the creators are definitely perverts.
! PS Having skipped the dialogue about his family (I chose the option “I will never ask about this again”) in the first act and followed the path of “humanity” - there was no romance with Randval. Be careful!
In Act 1, in the dialogue, after the battle, in the tavern: it’s not enough to ask him about his family. Be sure to respond to his phrase that he is “looking for a dignified death” (or something like that) “with me you will find it.”
I answered “I’m not your help here,” I think that it’s not important and it’s a more pleasant answer. But no - because of this (as I later read on foreign forums) there was no possibility of romance in the last act.
So don't do 3 playthroughs like I did instead of two).
PS the wording of the phrases is not verbatim, but reflects the essence
