I am taking a poll as of April 19th, 2013 to see what title was unlocked via what amount of choices. Please visit This page and add a "✓" if it worked. If a method is not listed, feel free to add it. If the method is deemed invalid, it will be removed.
Following this guide and selecting all negative answers will NOT result in "the Lone Wolf" title. Has been tested 4 times now.
Following this guide and selecting all negative answers EXCEPT when telling Lucas and Keith the answer to the puzzle will result in "the Lone Wolf" title. Has been tested 1 time now.
Editor's Note: This is currently testing "All Negative Answers" since quite a bit of time has passed, I have this strange feeling that all Negatives will actually result in the "Lone Wolf" title.

|
- Talk to Antonio at the top of the Pub in the Dominion of Belvast. He will greet you and wonders if you have something to ask about him. You are prompted: "Bassanio..." or "Portia..."
- You were asked to find Bassanio, therefore, asking about Portia will result in a negative answer.
- He will grip the shoulders of the Milletian if you asked about Bassanio.
- Antonio will start biting his thumb, beginning to panic. After thinking it through, he will hold his hand out. It is the hand he was biting on. You are then prompted: "Shake his hand" or "Ignore him." He will then give you a Gold Pouch with 10,000 Gold in it.
- Shaking his hand is the friendliest thing to do considering you'd make him look like an idiot again if you ignore him.
- Talk to Bassanio in the Pub in Port Cobh. He asks if you have business with him and will try to shove you. You are prompted: "Give him the letter" or "Slap him."
- Giving him the letter is the righteous thing to do considering he has been on rough times according to a conversation with Antonio prior to this event.
- Bassanio will notice you have a letter from Portia. He looks at it and then asks if you have anything from Antonio. You are then prompted: "Give him 10,000 Gold" or "Pretend to not know anything." You will deliver Portia's Love Letter.

- If you have Premium Service active, make sure to have the 10,000 Gold in the General Tab of your Inventory. "Having it in the VIP Tab will make Bassanio think you spent the money."
- If you select "Pretend to not know anything," you will keep the 10,000 Gold.
- Talk to Shylock in the Dominion of Belvast, located near the graveyard. He asks if you are in need of money. You are prompted: "Antonio..." or "Bassanio..."
- Unfortunately, picking "Bassanio..." will force you to pick "Antonio..." for the choice. This will count as 2 negative actions since you did not tell Shylock the truth the first time.
- Then he will ask how much will the loan be. You are prompted: "30 million Gold" or "As much as possible."
- Picking "As much as possible" will set the amount to 30 million Gold, as Antonio and Bassanio clearly stated he needed exactly 30 million in a conversation prior to this event; asking for more results to greed.
- Shylock will ask how long will it take to pay off the loan. You are prompted: "He did not say" or "In 3 months." You will receive Shylock's Alby Dungeon Pass.
- Choosing "He did not say" will result in the time to be 3 Months.

- She only gives a fraction back, but she promises to pay the rest later since most of the gold is elsewhere.
- Portia begins to talk about Bassanio and the reason she loves him, despite her father's wishes. She then asks if you ever felt like you were ever truly in love with someone sometime in your life. You are then prompted: "Yes" or "No."
- Saying "Yes" will make you appear understanding, and that flaws do not matter when in love with someone.
- Describe Portia's look to Hans. As a reference, you may look at Portia's NPC image here.
- Editor's note: Is it possible to purposely say it wrong...?
- Deliver the Portrait to Portia. She will ask if Bassanio really knows Hans. You are prompted: "Tell her the truth" or "Make up a reasonable story."
- Telling her the truth, she admits that Bassanio possibly could not have many friends due to his personality.

- Regardless of either choices, she will give you 100,000 Gold as compensation for the Clown Doll and the Portrait.
- Portia will then take your character's hand and place it over her chest. She will then ask if you feel her heart beating. You are prompted: "I feel it" or "Hmm...Not sure."
- Feeling the heartbeats will make Portia become overjoyed about Bassanio, regardless of what happens.
- She questions if Bassanio is really right for her. You are once again prompted: "He will make you happy" or "He will make you unhappy."
- Choosing "He will make you happy" will make Portia exclaim that no matter what happens to them, they will always be together.

- You will notice that the portrait is in the Lead Box, regardless if you have "looked" or "not."
- Not looking is a sign of respect for privacy, while "looking" what Portia is doing is rather disrespectful to her.

- Your choice will not affect the outcome of the NPC, as Bassanio is destined to marry Portia.

- Deliver Shylock's Seed Chest to Blatt located the Farm Manager Post at Taillteann. He will ask if you happen to have anything from Shylock. You are prompted: "Yes" or "Pretend to not know." He will give you three hundred Pumpkins, one hundred and fifty Tomatoes, and ten HP 100 Potions.
- "Yes" will appear as "Actually..." if you opened the box. This is positive because you're telling the truth about what you did. This will not cancel out the negative decision made earlier.
- Picking "Yes" will make Blatt a happy man.
- You will not be given the potions if you picked "Pretend to not know" and/or have "opened the box" from earlier.
- Editor's note: What happens if I attempt to give him an empty box or show up with nothing?
- Talk to Shylock. He will talk about Antonio's ship suddenly goes missing without a trace. You are prompted: "Serves him right" or "That poor man." You will receive Shylock's Journal.
- "Serves him right" will result in Shylock agreeing with you. He explains his feelings towards Antonio and his influence on his family, talking about his past in the process.
- The reason this is the correct answer is because Shylock told you about Antonio's assets and their location back during Price of Love.
