I know there are guides. I wrote some of those guides. I've put hundreds of hours into alpha testing this game over the years.
This feels like a punishment for choosing my favorite background. It takes the fun out of the game. I don't even want to play anymore.
I wish you the best of luck going forward, but I'm done.
I'm so sorry for your frustration! I was trying to be vague because I wasn't sure how many spoilers you already knew. The only difference between Widow and the other backgrounds is that the widow can't be neutral in the Revaire conflict. (And being neutral generally doesn't work out very well)
To get the Sayra scene (in week six) that gives you the option to side with the Rebels, or try for peace you need:
first- have discovered the existence of the rebels (following the rebel secret chain)
second, pass an insight 85 check
third- have Sayra's rival less than 10, friendship more than 30 and respect more than 40
Sayra's friendship and respect are boosted by choosing katyia's legacy, being nice to the servants (introducing yourself, comforting ria, sticking up for sayra when the delegate is bugging her, ) inviting her the onvu tournament, or the girls night, saving Imogen at the trial (this is a big one, it gives a 20/20 boost for the best performance and a 10/10 for saving her)
the invites help, but as long as you get the best trial outcome and pick the right choices when introducing yourself/ comforting ria/ and sticking up for her, then you should have more than enough.
I hope that helps!
But either way thank you so much for all your support and help all this time <3 I wish you nothing but the best!
