Life in the Castle

Life in the Castle

Start by selecting your character – either a prince or princess. There are no advantages or disadvantages for either genders so you can pick whatever you want. Hold the button of the character of your choice then wait until you gain control of your character after the scene.

After getting out of the bed, its time to select the outfit of your choice. Again, there's no differences status-wise on what you wear; only your sense of style. Choose one that fits your tastes, then exit your room. Just follow the trail as it will lead you to your objective. You can shake hands with 20 different people along the way to unlock the achievement Touched by a Hero. You can unlock this achievement even before reaching your objective. There is also a chest past the fountain to the right of your objective point that requires silver keys. You can't open it for now obviously, so just take note of it. You can find your first Silver Key by checking the back of the statue left of the Catacombs entrance.

Silver Key

Just head to the objective point to find your friend. Press A or X to interact, then press RT when prompted. Take your friend's hand by pressing LT then just lead the way and follow the trail. Just follow the onscreen button prompts.
 

You will need to address your subjects by encouraging them or shouting at them. The decision is yours. Next, follow Walter. You'll need to choose whether you'll want to sign the petition or insult the subject.

Head to the combat room with Walter, then approach the weapon rack. Grab the sword to start your training. Learn how to swing your sword, block attacks and finally use a charge attack called Flourish. After using it on Walter, the lesson will be over. Head towards your next objective.

Watch the following scenes. You'll need to choose whether you'll have your friend or the mob leaders to be executed. The decision is again, up to you.

Once in control, you'll need to leave the castle this time. Follow Walter and head to your next objective. Press A to open the doors to the catacombs.
