Choose your route first, then check both dates: when you can accept the Paralogue and when you must finish it. A later completion deadline does not mean the quest giver stays available until that day.
All dates below use month/day on the in-game calendar. They are not real-world deadlines. This is a planning guide to the nine Part I Paralogues, with character names but no plot outcomes or battle walkthroughs.
Which routes can play each Paralogue?
| Paralogue owner | Cai | Dietrich | Theodora | Leda |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leda | No | Yes | Yes | No |
| Theodora | No | Yes | No | No |
| Bertrand | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Talimun | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Anna | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Anatolia | No | Yes | No | Yes |
| Cai | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Dietrich | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| Orchel | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
This matches the route lists in RPG Site's Paralogue guide and Serenes Forest. No single route covers all nine. Dietrich has eight; Theodora has seven; Cai and Leda have four each.
Cai route: accept windows and deadlines
| Paralogue | Accept during | Complete by |
|---|---|---|
| Bertrand | 9/17–9/25 | 9/25 |
| Talimun | 9/17–9/22 or 10/1–10/10 | 10/12 |
| Anna | 9/24–10/5 | 10/5 |
| Orchel | 10/18–10/20 | 10/21 |
Orchel has a shorter window here than on the other routes. Use Cai's route walkthrough and the Cai recruitment table when planning your remaining turns.
Dietrich route: accept windows and deadlines
| Paralogue | Accept during | Complete by |
|---|---|---|
| Leda | 9/2–9/8 | Act by 9/8; battle day disputed below |
| Theodora | 9/3–9/12 | 9/15 |
| Bertrand | 9/17 only | 9/17 |
| Talimun | 9/17–9/19 or 10/1–10/10 | 10/12 |
| Anna | 9/29–10/5 | 10/5 |
| Anatolia | 10/5–10/14 | 10/17 |
| Cai | 10/16–10/22 | Act by 10/22; battle day disputed below |
| Orchel | 10/18–10/25 | 10/27 |
Bertrand is the priority: there is only one day to act on this route. Talimun's first window is shown conservatively through 9/19 because Dietrich's Chapter 9 walkthrough ends Free Time then; the general Paralogue guide lists 9/22. Its later 10/1–10/10 window avoids that discrepancy.
Compare the Dietrich recruitment requirements, especially Gaitz, before advancing the story.
Theodora route: accept windows and deadlines
| Paralogue | Accept during | Complete by |
|---|---|---|
| Leda | 9/2–9/8 | Act by 9/8; battle day disputed below |
| Bertrand | 9/17–9/25 | 9/25 |
| Talimun | 9/17–9/22 or 10/1–10/10 | 10/12 |
| Anna | 9/24–10/5 | 10/5 |
| Cai | 10/16–10/22 | Act by 10/22; battle day disputed below |
| Dietrich | 10/16–10/24 | 10/24 route cap |
| Orchel | 10/18–10/24 | 10/24 route cap |
Use the Theodora recruitment table and the final recruitment-window reminder alongside this schedule.
Leda route: accept windows and deadlines
| Paralogue | Accept during | Complete by |
|---|---|---|
| Anatolia | 10/5–10/14 | 10/17 |
| Cai | 10/16–10/22 | Act by 10/22; battle day disputed below |
| Dietrich | 10/16–10/22 for safe planning; later acceptance disputed | 11/1 |
| Orchel | 10/18–10/25 | 10/27 |
Leda's walkthrough gives 10/29 as the last day to accept Dietrich's Paralogue, while RPG Site's general guide gives 10/22. Both give 11/1 for completion. Accept by 10/22 if possible; this guide does not promise that a later visit will work.
Use the Leda recruitment table for the other conditions attached to a recruit.
Who gives each quest?
Look for the Paralogue option when speaking to the relevant contact. Serenes Forest's contact list provides these starting points; check the in-game map before travelling onward.
| Paralogue | Contact in Dagsion |
|---|---|
| Leda | Leda, Temple Row |
| Theodora | Bonaventure, Temple Row |
| Bertrand | Gabriel, outside the arena |
| Talimun | Talimun, near Vandahl Trading Co. / Port |
| Anna | Anna, Dagsion Summit |
| Anatolia | Anatolia, eastern Midtown / City Streets |
| Cai | Cai, southeast city exit / City Streets |
| Dietrich | Fabio, near the arena |
| Orchel | Orchel, Lower Temple Row |
Source differences worth checking in-game
- Leda and Cai battle days: RPG Site describes battles on 9/8 and 10/22; Serenes Forest describes 9/9 and 10/23. The earlier accept/action cutoffs agree. Secure the quest by 9/8 or 10/22 and check the quest screen rather than using the discrepancy as an extra free day.
- Accepting versus completing: broad availability ranges can include travel and completion time. The tables keep the narrower RPG Site accept windows separate from the end dates, with the Dietrich/Talimun and Leda/Dietrich differences called out above.
- Rewards: the sources list different Salamander quantities for Dietrich's Paralogue. This page does not assert a quantity; read the reward shown in your quest screen.
These are source-based planning windows, not a claim that every date has been independently tested on every save. Check your current route and quest log before spending the last available turn.
If you missed a Paralogue
An unfinished Paralogue can also block a recruit. Recheck route availability and extra requirements before trying to solve the problem with more Support or Renown. The missable-character guide explains the replay backup and route restrictions; do not assume another hero can recruit a route-exclusive character.
