Hey momyesmam! Together in Battle is designed to be replayed as you work out the correct course of action to get the good ending--it's the whole reason I put in all of those random events, procedural battles, and procedural characters! (If you were only meant to play it once, that would be kind of a huge waste of time.) So I definitely don't agree that there's anything like "destroying hours of game play" here; you're just experiencing bad endings and starting new runs.

With all that said, if you're someone who really just 100% does not care at all about anything except for the combat and hates the thought of doing multiple runs with different characters and different events, here are some hints for you (spoilers here, obviously):

Meet with Manbir when his messenger comes after the festival
Tell the guard your name is Raj Rakshak
Accept when Manbir deputizes you
Follow Manbir's advice about how to interrogate people (start with general information and only drill down to pointed questions about the attack after you've exhausted those topics)
Save the documents in the dissident's den raid
Save Ansh in the witness protection battle
When you go to the palace afterwards, do not meet with Prince Ajit
Gather as much evidence as you can, pursuing every avenue available before concluding the investigation

Thank you. Your hints were appreciated and for me I will enjoy the game more. My review was revised based upon the appreciated response.

I appreciate it! 🙂
