Guide to Unlocking Titus
Please note: there will be some spoilers in this post, so please read at your own risk!
Hello, Alexandra of Nochi Studios here and the writer of Somnium Eleven!
First of all, thank you for playing Somnium Eleven! It means a lot to our small but mighty team! If you’re still reading this, then I’m guessing you’re definitely looking to romance Titus Alexandros, the strong and dashing Solvictum and military commander whose skill, looks, and courage makes him a huge contender for Strata’s crown. As Titus is a very popular and busy man, albeit not always by his choice, it might be a little tricky at first to get closer to him, but once you do, he is willing to make you his whole world as long as you’re willing to accept him.
START YOUR JOURNEY
The best place to start with him (and with any of the other love interests) is by using the “How to Connect” section on Titus’s profile to make sure that you’re meeting the right people accordingly to unlock him. Using this section, you’ll find that once you’ve unlocked Roman and Lysander, both of which you can easily meet if you complete the tutorial at the start of the game, you should be putting your focus on getting closer to his companions, namely his fellow military squad members, Yuu Gamon and Minty Petri!
GET TO KNOW YUU!
Of the two, the first and easiest to meet is Yuu, who doesn’t require any minimum followers to meet and as long as you don’t skip out on the tutorial to meet with Roman, you’ll have met the requirements to unlock her.
Given how Yuu enjoys bustling around town and staying busy herself, she enjoys her afternoon by getting her caffeine pick-me-ups at Café Ambrosia. In Pretrial 1, you can also find her in a few other locations including Volturna Gym - but this depends on the time & day you are visiting those locations so make sure to figure out her schedule! It’s important to try to meet her as much as you can, not just to raise your stats, but also to collect more intel to get a better impression of how to appeal to Titus once you’ve finally met him! For example, if you chat with Yuu at the Librarium 4 times, she’ll reveal more about Titus’s past and values, particularly how he chooses to share most of his earnings with his adoptive parents while keeping just the minimum to sustain himself.
In Pretrial 2, you’ll want to keep interacting with Yuu even if you’ve already met Titus, as she still garners points towards his relationship bar. They might not amount to as much as meeting Titus himself, but continuing to meet her and Minty on the side can give you the extra boost you’ll need if you’re just shy of filling the bar between your meetups with him. Throughout Pretrial 2, you can find her at a few locations, but some of her hangout preferences have changed though - such as Aqua Vita Spa. As with Pretrial 1, Yuu also continues to reveal more information about Titus. If you meet her for multiple chats in 1 location, she becomes more supportive of you and Titus becoming a couple.
GET TO MEET MINTY!
After unlocking Yuu, you’ll also want to focus on getting to know Titus’s other friend and fellow squad member, Minty Petri! You can find her the soonest in Pretrial 1 at the Pallantium Studios at night. The studio does require a certain level of Charm stats before unlocking it. Along with this, you’ll need a minimum of 30k followers, but it’s highly important to try to meet Minty as soon as possible if you want to meet Titus sooner than later. You can gain followers by continuing to explore the map to meet other characters or by purchasing any of the social media boosters in the shop, which can give you the extra increase you’ll need for your following!
If you’re able to meet Minty by Pretrial 1 instead of Pretrial 2, this raises your chances of growing more followers towards meeting Titus sooner, maybe even by the end of Pretrial 1! If you happen to miss Minty until Pretrial 2, you can find her at a few locations like Cafe Ambrosia.
Much like Yuu, she’ll share more about Titus’s personal life than other people outside of his circle because of their sibling-like relationship. Similar to Yuu, you’ll want to keep meeting with Minty throughout Pretrial 2 as much as you can during your free time, even if you’ve already met Titus. Minty will continue to support your pursuit of him as long as you assure her that you’re willing to accept Titus for who he is on the inside, not just the outside.
UNLOCKING TITUS
Once you’ve met Yuu and Minty, you’ve crossed a major bridge towards unlocking Titus! You’ll want to work towards unlocking Eiriol at the 40k follower mark. As he’s incredibly busy as Soren’s right-hand man, you’ll want to guarantee a chance to meet with him in Pretrial 1 to get a head start - such as meeting him sometime on Day 8 in the Librarium.
You’ll want to also make sure to keep raising your count to 125k followers while also raising your all of your Stats past Rank 1 to be ready to meet Titus!
If you’ve worked to unlock all the characters noted in his “How to Connect” profile and even meet them before Trial 1, you might find yourself in the very lucky position to meet Titus before the 1st Trial for some unexpected encounters! If you don’t get to meet him before Trial 1 however, have no fear! In Pretrial 2, Titus has a robust schedule across the map – being available to chat with in 4 different locations! You’ll want to meet him at least 4 times at one single location. The last 3rd and 4th chat are especially important, as he will give you very specific choices about whether you want to stay with him for longer or not.
If you’re running out of time before Trial 2, the best way to ensure meeting him is using an energy chew to revisit him at the same location once you’ve found him on the map!
As Titus prefers to keep a lowkey profile from the public as much as he can get away with, he prefers visiting places during certain times, such as:
Forum at night: He knows people have places to go and people to meet in the evening, so he can always blend in with the crowd if he needs to avoid them while still looking for some quality activities to do (especially with you by his side!)
Spa in the morning: If he gets to the spa early, he knows he might be able to get the right accommodations to enjoy some much-needed self-care while undisturbed.
If you find yourself struggling to find him in another location, you can always continue to revisit him in the locations you’ve already met with him. Keep in mind that you may repeat some conversations, but they will still give you the Titus points you’ll need to fill up his bar! However, if you want the most out of your experience with him, exploring his other chats will give you more opportunities to interact and get to know him better, especially by giving you more one-on-one time with him!
DON’T FORGET THE GIFTS!
With every S11 love interest, you should always consider using the gifting feature to not just send gifts to your faves for fun, but also to accumulate more relationship points with them! Throughout your encounters with various characters, you'll also unlock new information about their favorite items. That’s why even if you’ve met with Yuu and Minty, you won’t just find out about all of their favorite items directly from them, but from other characters you’ll meet along the way.
You can always check on characters’ profiles in the Stats screen to check on the unlocked likes. So if you happen to gift them with one of the items on their lists, your chances of earning more points with them increases! Keep in mind that there are only 4 romanceable characters in S11, so sending gifts to characters like Yuu and Minty will go towards Titus as they will gush to him about you as they become affectionate of you.
As you learn more about the items Titus likes, don’t be shy about sending him gifts! This can be an excellent way to also give your relationship bar some extra boost between the times you meet with him across the map.
TITUS’ ROUTE
If you’ve met all of his acquaintances as listed in his “How To Connect” profile, gained enough followers, and fully filled up his relationship bar, you’ll have unlocked his story route and be automatically placed in it after Trial 2. As you enter his story route, it’s important to take all of what you’ve learned about Titus through your interactions with him and his friends to truly know the best way to attain a good ending with him. Make sure to choose your answer choices wisely! But if you do end up receiving a bad ending, you can always turn back time at the end of the “bad end” scene to start at the beginning of Titus’ story route - and vice versa if you get his good ending but want to see what happens in the bad end.
And with that... may Deus Kai bless your journey to finding your special romance with Titus!
