## In-game history

### Day 0

If you talk to him, he will say that hawks like to prey on tired kits like you.

### Day 1

When you walk into the medicine den, he is telling Kestrelpaw that his illness is beyond his powers, and that Kestrelpaw will need another cat’s heart in order to survive. He says that your heart will do and he approaches you. Kestrelpaw stops him saying that he was scaring you. Blackheart says he ruined his joke, and that he wasn’t going to kill you…yet.

If you visited him, he will later ask you to bring him some coltsfoot. Bringing it to him rewards you with 25 exp and gives you the option to train with him.

### Day 2:

After you deal with the rogues, Blackheart will treat everyone’s wounds in the medicine den. You have the option to help him if you trained with him on day 1, and this counts as an extra training session. If you go to the nursery, Applefang asks him if he will keep checking up on Nightkit (if he is alive). Blackheart responds with “Mother’s warmth will help him more than my cold gaze.”

### Day 3:

If Kestrelpaw died to the fox, he will say “You died a Warrior, Kestrelpaw.”

If you heard Duskpaw’s prophecy, you will have the option to tell Blackheart about it. He asks you if you believe in it, and he will say that he doesn’t believe it, but he will have to wait and see what Starclan has in store. If you told Duskpaw you believe him but tell Blackheart you don't, Blackheart will comment that he doesn't like the game you're playing.

### Day 4:

Blackheart will ask you if you think that you’ve ever made grave horrible mistakes, that could result in hurting or killing others. Asking him if there’s something he wants to talk about actually lowers your relationship with him.

### Day 5:

He asks you a question about what your beliefs are, and gives you advice depending on how you answer. You also have the option to ask if Badgerpaw can be his apprentice if you are doing her heroic quest. He says no because she will have to be brave enough to challenge death itself.

After completing your patrols, he will ask you to accompany the Moonpool with him. He needs company because there are rats on the way there.

If you had trained with him enough before, and asked if you could be his apprentice, he will ask Starclan what they think of his choice.

### Day 6:

After the Voideyes dream sequence, you have an option to tell him about the strange dream you had. If you say “I was a purple cat with a star on my forehead” he will ask you to stay away from him.

If Starclan had allowed it, he will offer you to take the Medicine Cat exam (this can also be taken at a later day). Passing the test will result in you becoming a medicine cat, if you don’t complete Badgerpaw’s heroic quest.

If Ravenwing tells you that ShadowClan needs herbs, you can try to convince him to give them some. This will only work if he likes you enough and you tell him that it may stop the war, but you can't promise that. If you can't convince him, you can talk to Briarstar about it.

If you give him a feather, he says that from his experience, whoever ends up handing them over ends up being backstabbed (just a heads up).

### Day 7:

At the gathering he advises you to not anger other cats. Reminding you that even though there’s a truce and they can’t kill you on the island, once you get off the island, it’s fair game.

### Final:

Blackheart is not seen on the final day. However, If you passed the test, he will appoint you as a medicine cat at the Moonpool, and you will get your full name from him.
