What is Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together?
The original Super Famicom tactical RPG depicts the conflict in the Valerian Isles. Denim's decisions lead to the L, C, or N route. Find the steps for rescuing and recruiting allies before their deadlines, changing classes through stat requirements, and using WT and terrain in battle.
Scope: Original Japanese Super Famicom version (released 1995-10-06). Based on analysis of the later ver. 1.2; guides for the PSP remake Let Us Cling Together and Reborn are outside the scope. Checked 2026-10-02. / Content checked: October 2, 2026
Where to start
- On your first playthrough, read Chapter 1's progression and prepare Canopus for rescues and Presance for healing and exorcism.
- Before entering Balmamusa, check the route decision and differences in available allies, and keep a normal save in a separate slot.
- Rescues from Chapter 2 onward depend on conditions in earlier chapters. Check the recruitment guide's deadlines before proceeding to the next town or castle.
What to check when stuck
| Problem | Check | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| There is no option for N | N is chosen at the end of Chapter 2C. | Check that this save followed C in Chapter 1. |
| Sisteena will not join | Are the Chapter 1 rescue, Chapter 2C request, and survival conditions connected? | Recheck the results at Rime and Byan's rescue. |
| Aloser left on N | Her departure follows the route decision. | Use another archer or a save from before choosing C. |
| Sherry will not appear | Retreat at HP 1–20, Olivia, heavy rain, and the deadline. | Visit Balmamusa before Barnicia. |
| Cannot become a Cleric | Stats, L/N alignment, and no more than 10 kills. | Review the unit's development, including their kill count. |
| Undead get back up | Reducing HP to 0 is not exorcism. | Prepare a caster with Exorcism and enough MP. |
| Cannot use a spellbook despite owning it | Class, assignment to a magic slot, and MP. | Equip a usable spellbook on the formation screen. |
| Actions became slower after equipping items | Weight is added to WT. | Switch to lighter items while keeping room for healing. |
| Cannot save Kachua | Did you use the matching answers at the temple and castle? | Use a save from before the branch rather than answers from another version. |
Conditions and data included
| Topic | Coverage | Check separately |
|---|---|---|
| Progression | Chapter 1, Chapter 2L/C, Chapter 3L/N/C, Chapter 4, and the final battle | Every treasure coordinate and random battlefield. |
| Recruitment | 24 event entries, including entries covering multiple people. | Separate from a complete character roster counted by individual people. |
| Classes | Required stats for 22 generic human classes, shown in 23 rows split by sex | Detailed probabilities and priority rules for unique classes and reincarnation. |
| Magic | MP costs for 56 spells and individual ranges for 35 | All damage values and conditional area-of-effect values. |

Keep records of branches and rescues
Use the SFC original's 2 normal save slots for separate purposes, such as before a branch and during progression. A suspend save is a temporary record for returning to battle and disappears when resumed.
