The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero

All DP Events in Chapter 1

By

Detective Points (DP) are a measure of your performance as a detective and are earned throughout Trails from Zero. This chapter details all the DP available to you in Chapter 1.

There are a lot more Requests to undertake in Chapter 1 that will provide DP.

What is DP?

DP is the abbreviation for Detective Points, a value given to you for tasks you perform while doing your duty as the SSS. If you’ve played the Trails in the Sky or Trails of Cold Steel arcs, you will remember this as BP (Sky) and AP (Cold Steel) and it works the exact same way here.

The most common way of earning DP is via the completion of Quests, be it in main or side. More importantly, however, you can earn DP based on the choices you choose when asked questions along with performing optional objectives in boss battles such as defeating the boss in a certain number of turns. As you may expect, this means DP is missable and you don’t have much room to miss many if you want to get the top rank (and the Trophy/Achievements that come with it). Fortunately, this page will list every event that rewards DP for Chapter 1, along with links to find out more.
