Chris vs. Lucia

Post by YuberClone »

My first time through s3, Chris and Lucia dueled in chapter 2 in front of the Lizard Clan. however i'm now playing through again and they didn't duel.. does anyone know what makes this difference??

are there any other places where the story changes like this?

If you play Hugo Chapter 2 before Chris Chapter 2, you won't see them duel. However, if you do Chris Chapter 2 first, you'll see the duel between them two.

That, and I think you have to pick a couple of correct options in the pre-duel dialogue.

highwind, do you know of any other scenarios in s3 that change depending on the order you play the first three chapters??

Hugo Chapter 1 - Chris Chapter 1

If you play Hugo first, you'll see their confrontation at Brass Castle, and Hugo has a choice of dueling Chris at the razing of Karaya Village. I'm not sure about this, but I don't think you'll see the scene at Brass Castle if you play Chris Chapter 1 first, and while you still see the scene with Hugo at Karaya Village, the dueling won't happen.

You'll still see the scene at Brass Castle. It's just from Chris' point of view.

There is also a scene at Budehuc Castle involving Chris. I think it has to do with Chris and Thomas' chapters. Something about going to Budehuc with Chris before playing Thomas' chapters or something?

Does Hugo actually duel Chris, or is he interrupted by Joe like I remember? I've played Hugo before Chris a few times before, and I've never dueled Chris at Karaya.

I believe while playing Hugo, you have the choice to attack Chris (which result in a duel, where Chris just defends until it ends. Unwinnable, I believe.) or question her why this happened (the Karaya razing).

Ok, I was just making sure. I was sure Joe holds you back, but I guess not.

She doesn't just defend... The first move she pulled on me was a Deathblow. I got her health under half, but the duel ends after three turns, I believe. It should be perfectly possible to win if you're strong enough.

I think that only happens if you've played Chris' scenario first. In that case you don't get a choice to duel her, you just get held back. I could be wrong as I'm only going from memory.

Edit: Oh, was that already said? I must be loosing it. Well . . . I agree with what was said earlier then.

Yeah, I just chose the other option, and Hugo does indeed duel Chris. Chris can Attack, Defend, and use her Deathblow, but the battle ends before either one can best the other. She mostly Defends, if anyone cares.

You can probably defeat her if you use a cheating device (such as CodeBreaker or GameShark). Otherwise it's impossible.
