---------------------------------------------------------------------I. Introduction---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Steambot Chronicles, the non-linear adventure by Irem/Atlus, thereare three female characters whom the protagonist, Vanilla R. Beans,can take out on dates. These dates, while not relevant to the central

storyline of the game, add great flavor, interaction, and humor to theSteambot gameplay experience. This guide serves to explain how to setup a date, which items are required and recommended, and what to dowhen the time arrives. There is also information on how to uncover,execute, and enjoy the (in)famous "hot cocoa" moment. Needless to say,there are spoilers in this guide: do not read if you have notprogressed to this part of the game and do not wish to be spoiled.

---------------------------------------------------------------------II. Dating


2/9

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Dating is not available in Steambot Chronicles until you, as Vanilla,join the Garland GlobeTrotters band following Fennel's resignation.After you perform with the GlobeTrotters in Neuhafen, you will becomeembroiled in a match-fixing scenario at the Neuhafen Arena; after youcomplete that event, find and speak to (Captain) Ciboulette at therun-down shack near the Neuhafen freight warehouse to initiate theSailing License Quest. Go speak to the band members at the BlueMarine Inn to announce your intentions to go to Seagull Beach, andyou will be given your freedom from the GlobeTrotters (at least for alittle while). Now go to Neuhafen Real Estate and you will noticethat you're (finally) allowed to rent an apartment; this means thatyou can now start dating Connie and/or Savory. After you completethe Sailing License Quest, (Captain) Ciboulette becomes availablefor dating as well, provided that you have not yet joined the BloodyMantis. If you decide to join the Bloody Mantis in Happy Garland andstay a Mantis member till the end of the game, then Ciboulette will beavailable for dating in the post-game (after you load the All ClearSave). Please note that, since it is possible to make girls hate youso much (by being a total jerk to them during dialogue choicescenarios) that you cannot even give them presents (the "Should Igive her a present...?" dialogue choice will not appear when you speakto the girl), it may be impossible to date girls if you've been

consistently mean to her (this has not been confirmed; I wouldappreciate any specific information you may have).

In order to invite a girl to a date, you must have an apartment.With the exception of Ciboulette (who only comes to dates if your roomis in Neuhafen), it does not need to be in the same city as the girlin question: you can invite Connie or Savory in Happy Garland, forexample, and she will come visit you in Nefroburg at the agreed timeif your apartment is in Nefroburg. To initiate a date, simply findthe girl you wish to romance, speak to her, and choose "Should Iinvite her over...?" You can "take it easy" or "say somethingprofound"; the girl will accept the request either way. You canschedule dates for one of two times of the day: evening and night.

It is therefore possible to book yourself for two dates in a given day.Also note that, if you leave for another town and then rent anapartment in your new town (voiding your current housing contract inthe process), you reset the dating records for that day (meaning thatyou can invite a girl over in your new town even if you have alreadydated her that day). It is possible to exploit this quirk in gameplayand date ad infinitum during the same day.

Before dating a girl, make sure you stock up on items that make goodpresents for that particular girl (see section III for moreinformation). Also, if you plan on "making a move" on your girl, puta bed in your apartment room and be sure to buy a Lil' Swabby (asterile cotton swab used for ear cleaning). The Lil' Swabby is

initially sold at the Eurydika General Store; after you return toHappy Garland on the Sailing License Quest, it will be sold at HappyFurniture as well; and after you swim across Lake Luminoso to discoverMeme Village, you can find it for sale there by Mrs. Mainz. The itemcosts an affordable 50 UR, and one Lil' Swabby will last for theduration of the game.

After you set up your date, return to your room. You can decoratethe room any way you want, but nothing you can decorate your room withwill elicit any reaction from the girls except for posters. Connie


3/9

and Savory will comment upon entering your room if they see a posterof any of the GlobeTrotters (or Fennel); Ciboulette will comment onlyif you have her poster hanging in your room when she enters. Theymay also comment on the size of your room, especially if you have aparticularly large pad (East Suites, Happy Garland) or a particularlysmall one (Star Manor, Neuhafen). Posters are obtained as follows:

Poster of Basil - Given as a present the first time you perform wellin concert with the GlobeTrotters.

Poster of Marjoram - Given the second time you perform well inconcert with the GlobeTrotters.

Poster of Savory - Given the third time you perform well in concertwith the GlobeTrotters.

Poster of Connie - Given the fourth time you perform well in concertwith the GlobeTrotters.

Poster of Fennel - Complete the Electric Guitar sidequest and play"Music Revolution" with Fennel and his band.

Poster of Ciboulette - Found in a treasure chest aboard the S. S.Juniper-Berry.

Poster of Bergamot - Challenge and beat him at billiards if you're aBloody Mantis member of at least Lieutenantrank; otherwise, purchase it from Comfrey at theex-Bloody Mantis Hideout in Happy Garland duringthe post-game.

When you're ready for your date, simply attempt to leave your room andselect "It's ready." (for the girl to come over). The girl will knockon the door: select "Answer the door." and let her in. If you select"Pretend to be out.", the girl will give up and go home and you willnot be able to date her again that day (unless you move to a new townand get a new apartment there to reset the date record for the day).The girl will enter the room and a number of pink hearts (usually four)will appear on the upper left-hand side of the screen. These heartsare the currency of dating: each action you take will cost you aspecific number of hearts, and when you use up all your hearts, thegirl will leave and go home. You can increase your "heart meter" bygiving the girl things she likes as presents, and the max number of

hearts you can have at any time is ten. Moving around the room isfree (in terms of hearts), and you can sit with your girl byapproaching a bed or table and choosing to sit there. Select "Stand"to get up from a sitting position. When you're ready to kick off thedate, speak to the girl and you will get the following options:

Chat. (costs one heart)Give her a present. (costs one heart)Play music. (costs two hearts)Ask her to cook. (costs three hearts)Move her aside. (free; essentially exits the date menu)Tell her to leave. (free; ends the date)

"Chat" allows you to talk to your girl about a number of people,yourselves included (with Ciboulette, you talk about certain eventsas well). "Give her a present" lets you build up your hearts countby giving her things she likes (make sure to give her items thatearn you at least two hearts, as you spend one heart on choosingthis option and therefore need to earn at least two hearts to gainanything from the exchange; see Section III for more information).Select "Play music" to, well, play music. This is exactly the sameas any street performance you've made thus far in the game: youselect an instrument, a song, and then just play. Connie will sing


4/9

and clap along with you (if you play well), Savory will clap, andCiboulette will sway to the beat. Asking the girl to cook will seeyour lady descend into the kitchen to make you a nice evening meal.This option is not available unless you have a table in your room.The girl will ask you a number of questions that determine whatkind of food she ends up making:

1. Do you like meat?

- Answering "Oh, do I ever!" will result in a meat-heavy dish.Answering "Meat? ... Not so much." will end in something morevegetarian-inclined.

2. How do you like it cooked?

- The answers are pretty straight-forward. Choose either grilled,stewed, or deep-fried to determine the way your food is prepared.Note that Connie is not initially able to cook with all threemethods; you must show her the "Simple Home Recipes" book (foundunder the first bed on your right in the Badger Dorm building atthe GTW Factory in Happy Garland; show it to Connie by attemptingto give the book to her as a present) for her to learn how to deep-fry in addition to grilling and stewing.

3. Well, in that case, do you have anything I could cook?

- Go through your inventory and choose a food item for the girl touse as cooking ingredients. The girl will then make your dinner.

You will earn a number of hearts at the end of your meal, providedyou did not make her cook anything inedible (i. e. tell her to cookSpoiled Fish, Spoiled Meat, or Moldy Bread). You earn more heartsif you had your girl make food that she loves as well (since shewill eat with you); the Simple Home Recipes book lists "3 ThingsEveryone Loves":

1) Stew Curry Bread + Meat = Stewed Curry Burgers

2) Fry Pineapple + Meat = Tropical Style Cutlets3) Broil (Grill) Egret Potatoes = Baked Potatoes

Feel free to experiment with different combinations of cookingmethods and ingredients. Note that the girl will not eat rottenfood (though she will cook it so that you can eat it and get anupset stomach), and you will get no hearts for having her cookrotten food.

If you sit on the bed and have the Lil' Swabby in your inventory,the "Clean my ears?" option will appear if you have enough hearts.If you select the option, your girl will hold your head in her lapand clean your ears of ear wax with the Lil' Swabby. It costs five

hearts to have a girl clean your ears the first time, and four heartsevery time thereafter. If you've completed the prerequisites (seeSection III), the "Make your move" option will now appear.Selecting this option will exhaust all your remaining hearts (meaningthe girl will leave at the end of this event). Your date will agreeto have a cup of hot cocoa with you at your request, and the two ofyou will "share a moment" together. Making your move will earn youthe "Playa" nickname prefix the next morning; making multiple movesduring the same day will earn you the "TruePlaya" nickname prefix.
