Hermes heart not unlocking? ("mission" spoilers inside I guess)

[Kora]

I've been sitting at the locked heart for Hermes for a while and am about to complete my fourth run straight using the 3* lambent plume. I've talked to him at every opportunity during those runs and have even managed to random into a couple extra chances to speak with him as well.

There's got to be some other criteria for this but I've looked at guides and they don't have any. Did anyone else have this problem? How did you fix it?

There is no other criteria for it, I can confirm through the game's data in where it simply states UnlockGameStateRequirements = { RequiredTextLines = { "HermesAboutPlume02" }. You're just unlucky and are probably having other dialogue cycle through. Just because you meet requirements for an event does not guarantee it will pop up immediately, if you still have other dialogue to go through.

The requirements for the needed dialogue are just as simple: RequiredTextLines = { "HermesAboutPlume01" },
RequiredAnyTextLines = { "HermesGift06", "HermesGift06B" },
RequiredTrait = "FastClearDodgeBonusTrait",
RequiresMaxKeepsake = true

Meaning that you need him to his locked heart of course, you have seen his prior dialogue about using the keepsake, you are wearing the keepsake at that moment, and it is max level.

Awesome, thank you so much for your quick & detailed response. If I'm unlucky then I'm unlucky - at least I know keeping at it isn't a waste of time.

Thanks again!

Good luck! Hopefully it pops up soon, the dialogue priority can be really weird sometimes, but so long as you've met the minimum requirements, it should pop up eventually.
