Soul & Sword（Super Famicom）
🔑 Branching scenarios and easily missed elements
Among the at least 30 scenarios are events requiring particular conditions or dates, and scenarios whose results vary with your approach. Full scenario completion is required for the best ending, making hidden requests and limited-time events important. Within documented scope, this guide offers methods for approaching easily missed opportunities.
Soul & Sword — what should I check first in Branching events and hidden recruitment?
Some events require particular seasons or dates. Because travel and lodging advance time, missing one means waiting for the next cycle. Some requests can be attempted anytime and lead to recruitment, while others are time-limited. Record rumors and pending business heard in towns. For full completion, following every remaining clue is ultimately the most direct approach.

- ▸ Missing a seasonal/date event means waiting for its next cycle
- ▸ Some always-available requests also recruit companions
- ▸ Record town rumors and pending tasks
- ▸ For full completion, leave no clue unresolved
Some companions and scenarios become available only after events or visits to particular people and places. With no explicit final objective, accumulated conversations and detours often open requests and recruitment. Returning later can reveal changed circumstances. Regular questioning and revisits uncover hidden content; without a confirmed procedure, systematically checking unvisited locations is a steady approach.
- ▸ Recruitment and some scenarios open after events or visits
- ▸ Detours and conversations lead to new requests and recruits
- ▸ Revisit interesting people and places after time passes
- ▸ If the procedure is unknown, systematically explore unvisited locations
