This page contains the choices in Blades of Light and Shadow, Book 2 and their outcomes.

''This game revolves heavily around the choices you make. They can improve or decrease relationships with the characters, as well as increase XP, which allows you to level up and learn new skills. This walkthrough is made to assist others in helping them make the right choice for their game. Good luck and happy playing!''

XP
You'll get XP by making the right choices and passing Skill Checks.

The number of XP received from some Choices is based on the level you're at. These will be indicated accordingly. For example, if the walkthrough says +4/10 XP, you'll get 4 XP if you're at Level 1 and 10 XP if you're at Level 2.

The levels are as follows:
 * Level 1: 1-10 (2 or 4 XP)
 * Level 2: 1-50 (5 or 10 XP)
 * Level 3: 1-150 (10 or 20 XP)
 * Level 4: 1-750 (25 or 50 XP)

Skills
You will have to choose Skills for your character. Skills will help you conquer challenges, befriend allies, and unlock special scenes.

Some choices will require you to have a Skill to choose them. These unlock special scenes and often award XP. Only the skills you choose will be among the available options. Unchosen skills will be shaded, chained and unavailable. The option order of these choices will vary based on the skills you have, unavailable skills will appear at the bottom.

More Skills can be unlocked by earning XP, which you'll get by making correct choices, defeating enemies, and passing Skill checks. Earn enough XP to level up and learn new Skills.
