Fire Emblem: Three Houses - Dialogue Choices, Consequences and Support Guide/Walkthrough

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is absolutely full of choices with consequences. This comes in the form of dialogue choice prompts, but also in some larger narrative branches that will massively shape the path the story takes. This level of choice is a natural extension of the Support system from most recent Fire Emblem titles.

As you progress through the game, Byleth will be able to provide answers to a variety of prompts throughout the game. Several of these prompts are accompanied by a Support gain with the character Byleth is talking to. We've aimed to capture which prompts offer a Support bonus in this guide.

As a note, this guide will contain some minor spoilers in dialogue, as it's comprehensive and covers the entire game.

Your Fire Emblem Three Houses choices will shape your path through the story of the game - and the consequences will determine which characters you befriend - and which you fight.

Fire Emblem Three Houses Choices & Consequences guide

Before we get into the various Fire Emblem Three Houses choices and their sometimes significant consequences, there's some things to remember about how to use this guide:

  • Dialogue choices are formatted (<Person Talking To> - <Correct Choice for Affinity Up>).
  • Several dialogue choices do not affect Support Levels, and these choices are not shown in this guide. If you come across a dialogue choice in the game not shown in the list below, then the choice does not matter.
  • Month number show is the Calendar Month of the Fodlan Calendar. For example, you start the game in Calendar Month 4.

With that noted, let's get into the core of the walkthrough...

Beginning of the Game - before the first Exploration Day

Dialogue choices & consequences in Fire Emblem Three Houses can change the path of the story - and you get your first choice right at the start.

At the very start, you'll pick a name, choose male or female Byleth, and answer Sothis' questions about your birthday and if you're a ghost, demon or mortal. These first Fire Emblem Three Houses choices don't have a material effect - but after all that...

  • Jeralt - Of course

After the first tutorial battle when talking to Sothis (A Skirmish at Dawn):

  • Sothis - I'm less than a child?
  • Sothis - Turn back the hands of time

After Alois shows up: 

  • Alois - I'm a bandit
  • Edelgard - I didn't know he was a captain
  • Choice of House, that house leader gets affinity up. (This is NOT where you actually choose a House to join)

After reaching Garreg Mach:

  • Rhea - My name is..
  • Manuela - You're a songstress?

4/23 Exploration

You don’t have access to the full monastery yet. You have to talk to the three house leaders to progress the story, but you can meet the rest of the classes too.

After talking to the three class leaders, you choose your house for good.

  • Hanneman - Do you what you can to find out.

4/27 Exploration

You still don’t have access to the full monastery yet. There are a few quests that introduce you to fishing, gardening, and sharing a meal at the cafeteria. You can talk to other students and professors, and sometimes they will ask a question. Pick the answer shown below to gain affinity with that person.

In order to end the month, you have to finish the “Share a Bite” quest.

Use an amiibo if you have one.

Exploration Dialogue Choices

  • Caspar - Not a Chance
  • Annette - Looking for someone?
  • Lysithea - You like reading?
  • Flayn - That's a shame
  • Felix - I'd was hoping to spar with you
  • Linhardt - Now I'm feeling sleepy too
  • Cyril - Can't we talk just a little?
  • Ashe - You seem well-informed on the subject
  • Manuela - just talk to her
  • Hanneman - Put a drop of blood in the Crest Analyzer in his quarters

Storyline Month 4

At the end of each month, there will be storyline content with usually one storyline battle. During the dialogue, pick these choices for affinity. If you get a choice in-game that’s not listed here, it shouldn’t matter what you select.

  • Edelgard - Leave it to me
    OR
    Dimitri - I’m looking forward to it
    OR
    Claude - If they insist

<Battle: Rivalry of the Houses>

Once the new month starts:

  • Jeralt - Not Quite

5/11 Exploration Day

  • Note: From here out, for each month, we'll list the first date available as your Exploration Day. While you can explore on different days or more-than-once per month, the Dialogue Choices and Blue Pickups only refresh at the start of each month. So in other words, if you Explore a second time in a month, there will be no more new Dialogue Choices or Blue Pickups.
  • You can begin to recruit characters here, but you will not be able to recruit this early unless you are on NG+.
  • The north cathedral area opens up on this day, which holds choir for now. The training ground area also opens up North of Byleth's room. The marketplace also opens at the South.
  • You can start finding Blue Pickups around the monastery. Be sure to seek these out as they can be useful items or help you gain Professor Level. New ones appear every month. Blue items with Professor Level gains cannot be permanently missed. If you fail to pick one up, it'll show up next month.
  • A note about Byleth Supports: Byleth’s supports work differently. When you reach a new support level with a character and it is noted in the menu, you have to physically seek out the dialogue box icon on the map to initiate the support conversation, rather than accessing it from the menu like with every other support.
  • During this month, you won’t have a choice in what you do each Free Day. You’ll Explore on 5/11, Battle on 5/18, and Seminar on 5/25.
  • If you have the Expansion Pass, there is a short quest to feed cats & dogs.
  • If you have the Expansion Pass and have completed the Side Story, you can enter Abyss by talking to the shifty merchant near your quarters.
    • You can recruit Yuri, Balthus, Constance, and Hapi
    • There is a quest to unlock the Mysterious Teacher, who tells you how much your characters have progressed.
    • You can go to the Scrap Heap once per month to get some rusted items
    • There is a Pagan Altar where you can trade items for Renown, or use Renown to buy weapons.

  • Hilda - If you're busy, never mind
  • Alois - Good luck

6/8 Exploration Day

  • Quests introduce battalion guild, advice box, Lost Items, Gifts, and faculty training.

Lost Items

Lost Items are always found as blue dots around the monastery. They are usually pretty easy to find, so we don’t list specifically where you find them, just noting what we had at the time. One common place we found Lost Items can be hard-to-see is within the open cathedral area between the alter and seats.

  • Hanneman (when speaking to Manuela) - This doesn’t seem fair...

10/5 Exploration

The Fishing Tournament Quest this month is just slightly weird, so let me help out. First of all, note that Seteth has a dialogue choice if you speak to him before finishing this quest.

What you have to do to actually finish the quest is to catch a 5-star Teutates Herring, then talk to Flayn. However, you can also get minor rewards from other participants for getting a bigger fish than them before finishing the quest. However, the Teutates Herring only seems to count for Flayn. To beat all of the other students, you need to catch either a 4-Star Large Fodlan Carp or 5-Star Huge Fodlan Carp. Note that speaking to Flayn will end the Quest and give you the main Quest reward.

So in brief, to maximize quest rewards you want to: talk to Seteth to get his dialogue choice, start the quest by talking to Shamir, catch a either a 4-Star Large Fodlan Carp or 5-Star Huge Fodlan Carp & talk to all the other participants to get minor rewards if you want, catch a 5-star Teutates Herring & talk to Flayn.

If you have the Expansion Pass, there is an additional quest from a familiar monk near the graves.

Exploration Dialogue Choices

  • Hubert - I’m not interested in rewards
  • Bernadetta - I don’t think nobles are allowed to watch

  • Sylvain - I'm sure they do
  • Mercedes - You seem a bit down
  • Hanneman - You should give up

  • The “White Heron Cup” quest ultimately unlocks the Dancer class to the winner. Talk to Rhea to accept the quest, then talk to one of your students to pick your participant. The Cha rating is what you are looking for. After you pick a student, you can talk to Manuela to see the Cha requirement (for us it was 13). You can give a special dance lesson to your participant to raise their Cha by 5 for free. While we haven't thoroughly tested the limits, as long as your character’s Cha is comfortably above 13, you should win the contest. Note that the Dancer class is a sword and magic-wielding class, so you might want to also pick someone with decent Sword or magic skills. The actual competition will take place after the second lecture day. The winner also gets the Sword Avo+20 ability and Sword Dance Combat Art.
