What are Expeditions in Three Hopes?: In Hopes

Learn how to unlock and go on Expeditions in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes! Discover how to trigger random events, ace conversations, and get bonus rewards.

So, you've reached Chapter 5 in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes and you're wondering about these 'Expeditions' everyone's talking about? Think of them as special hangout sessions with your allies, a way to boost your relationships and get some nice perks. It costs just 1 Activity Point to start one, so they're pretty efficient!

To even get the option to invite someone, you'll need to have at least a C support level with them. Once you're at base camp after Chapter 5 kicks off, just chat with the character you want to bring along, and the Expedition option will pop up if your support level is high enough.

Flow of Expeditions

When you decide to take someone out, you'll get to pick from four different locations: the Plains, the Forest, the Mountains, or the Waterfront. Honestly, the location itself doesn't change much, so just go with whatever sounds appealing to you!

Random Encounters

Sometimes, when you arrive at your chosen spot, you'll get hit with an "Encounter!" message. This means a random event is about to kick off. You'll be presented with two choices, and no matter what you pick, you'll get the maximum support points. So, don't stress too much about it – just pick the option that sounds more interesting; it only changes the flavor text.

Conversation Time

Once you're settled in at your destination, it's time to relax with your companion. You can look around a bit using the movement controls. You'll have two main options: 'Talk' or 'Ask a Question'.

If you choose 'Talk', your companion will bring up a random topic. If you go with 'Ask a Question', you get to pick from six different questions, and they'll answer it. After they respond, it's your turn to reply. You'll have three choices, and while the order might change, the options themselves are always the same for that specific chat. One of these is the 'correct' answer, which will earn you more support points and fill up one of the conversation circles at the top-left. The other two won't do anything, so try to pick wisely!

After you get through three of these conversations, you'll be graded on how well you did.

Extra Time: Perfect Conversations

If you managed to pick the correct answer for all three conversations, congratulations! You've achieved a "Perfect Conversation" and will unlock a bonus mode. In this mode, you can 'Observe' your companion more closely, and depending on the camera angle, you might even trigger unique conversations. You can also press a button prompt to get a reaction from them. Additionally, you can 'Give a Gift' here, just like you can at base camp. If you need a refresher on what gifts are best, check out our guide on that!

Afterwards

Wrapping up the Expedition, you'll snag some extra support points and a small Morale boost. Nail that "Perfect Conversation," and your Charm stats might even get a little bump!
