Silver Palace Second Test: Act 3 Trust Blocks Guide

To clear the Main Story Act 3 "Trust Blocks" (信任積木) challenge in the Silver Palace Second Test (Beta 2), you must prepare your party lineup before entering the chamber, present evidence that directly counters the scene's narrative tension, and resolve spatial block puzzles in a specific order.

Party Preparation and Affinity Checks

Before entering the main interaction chamber, review your active lineup:

• Investigator Archetypes: Equip the required investigator archetypes in your formation before starting the segment. Specific physical environment triggers and block interactions remain locked unless the corresponding archetype is active.
• Prior Dialogue Affinity: Dialogue options depend on your cumulative NPC affinity built in earlier chapters. Lower affinity scores lock out optimal conversation routes, leaving only harder narrative branches available.

Dialogue Mechanics and Evidence Selection

The conversation phase tests logical deduction using clues collected earlier in the chapter:

1. Match Evidence to Tension: Select dialogue choices and evidence items that directly contradict the active narrative tension in the scene. Contradictory evidence is the primary mechanic for advancing the story in this encounter.
2. Align with Ally Goals: Choose responses that support your allies' established objectives. Avoid neutral options when clear alignment is available.
3. Avoid Unprompted Aggression: Select aggressive responses only when explicitly instructed by the prompt. Choosing hostile paths unprompted frequently causes a failure state.
4. Consequences of Guessing: Making choices without supporting evidence triggers a fail-state that resets the sequence or consumes additional stamina.

Solving Spatial Block Puzzles

The spatial block sequence introduces physical object manipulation tied to your overall investigation progress:

• Interaction Order: Interact with blocks in a deliberate sequence, as the order of movement determines subsequent scene events.
• Environmental Triggers: If a block cannot be moved, examine the surrounding room for secondary interactive UI elements or key items in your inventory before re-attempting the puzzle.
• Branching Risks: Certain non-linear choices lead to dead ends that reset the conversation. Inspect all interactive objects and save your progress before entering the area if your test build permits saving.
