To unlock Flint's 5 Hearts event in Postknight 2, fill his fifth heart gauge completely by offering favored gifts and having daily conversations, then speak with him in Maille once the event icon appears. You must complete each preceding heart milestone in order before this final scene can trigger.

Prerequisites to Trigger the 5 Hearts Event

Flint's final bond event requires linear progression through his relationship track. Complete these steps before the cutscene becomes available:

  • Unlock Flint in Maille: Progress through the Pompon and Maille story quests until Flint settles as a permanent town NPC.
  • Complete Hearts 1 Through 4: Clear each prior heart tier milestone in order. Gifting items beyond an uncleared milestone will not skip required story checkpoints.
  • Fill the Fifth Heart Meter: Give gifts or talk to Flint until his fifth heart gauge is completely full.
  • Clear Active Story Conflicts: Ensure your current main story quests in Maille are not moving Flint away from his regular town spot or locking his standard interaction state.

Once the meter is full and prerequisites are met, an exclamation mark appears over Flint's portrait or sprite in town. Interact with him to start the cutscene.

Best Gifts for Flint

Giving Flint his preferred gifts maximizes affection gains and shortens the time required to cap his fifth heart.

5 Hearts Event and Post-Event Benefits

During the 5 Hearts cutscene, Flint steps aside to discuss his personal insecurities and how your dedication as a Postknight inspired him. Choosing supportive dialogue options during this scene solidifies your bond, culminating in an exclusive relationship illustration.

Completing the event provides three permanent benefits:

  1. Journal Record: The cutscene and its illustrated memory are permanently saved in your relationship records at post headquarters for replaying.
  2. Updated Ambient Dialogue: Flint's casual town greetings shift from competitive boasting to warmer, more affectionate dialogue lines.
  3. Resource Reallocation: Because Flint's meter is permanently capped at five hearts, you no longer need to spend food or materials maintaining his affection, freeing those resources for other companions.

Troubleshooting Missing Event Triggers

If Flint's fifth heart meter appears full but the event does not start, check for the following issues:

  • Pending Prior Milestones: If you gave multiple gifts rapidly, you may still need to trigger the Heart 4 dialogue scene before the Heart 5 event can queue.
  • Daily Reset Lockout: If the gauge filled on your final action of the day, run an expedition route or wait for the next daily reset to refresh his interaction prompt.
  • Active Story Progression: If a Maille main quest assigns Flint to an active mission, advance the main story until he returns to his standard town location.
