Cant fuse with Eugene.

[AndyFox]

I feel like he is bugged or something or im not getting the relationship system correctly. I've been playing a lot with him and the relationship simple does not progress to the first heart. Do i have to do something specific to unlock fusion for him?

[Texus]

I remember you have to finish their personal quest or something to recruit them and then have one heart? At least that's probably the idea from what Ed said.

I'm also finding it's very long to get to Eugene's first heart point. Considering how easy it is to get Kayleigh's and Meredith's first point, Eugene's seems to be a lot longer and require a lot more, if you really have to shut down every landseller building for just the first heart.

I even took him against an Archangel to see if that'd do it, but nope.

[Tripas]

The whole thing with heart level-ups is pretty obtuse, to be honest. Just going by what the game tells you I can't tell what the hell even earns you more hearts. Is it battles fought together? Times you rested with them and heard about their stories? Total time spent together? Is it merely tied to how far you are in their personal quests? I mean, what?

[FadedBones]

i pretty much had to delete my save because i wasted so much time trying to unlock eugenes heart i had already evolved alot of my monsters and hadnt seen any fusions with them, so f that

Is it a bug? I've used Eugene a lot and I still got no heart!

[Fortuna]

I think, having just done Felix's heart, that it's tied to his quest. So you need to beat all the Landowner buildings to finish it. Felix's is similar in that you have to do a bunch of running around before his unlocks at the end. Eugene's is just longer and seems to require more levels (I ran into a building with a pair of guys with level 41 monsters I can't beat yet).

Hi everyone!

As Fortuna commented, you need to complete Eugene's quest in order to get the first heart.

But Eugene's quest stopped showing up in the map. I beat the first landlord and he says we need to beat more of them. I have the quest, but it doesn't show on the map. i'm aimlessly roaming around getting overleveled without knowing how to progress his story

You'll have to find the landkeepers' offices scattered around the island on your own or with the assistance of rumors.

Then I'll stick with Kayleigh because not be able to use fusion sucks hard.

There are 5 landkeeper bases to find and then a final showdown. Its in a pretty high level area too. If you stick with Eugene as your partner it's basically hardmode because he's about the last you could unlock fusion with. I would say its unfair that he takes longer than everyone else but there is one more companion with an equally sprawling quest to finish before fusion unlocks for him.

This isn't just hardmode. It's flat out tricking players who go in blind thinking they only need one thing to unlock his fusion. Kayleigh's fusion was unlocked relatively easy with her FIRST heart. Had I not read the forums, I would be wasting my time with him.

I get it's not a bug, but this is my only issue with the game. Fusions is what makes Cassette Beasts very exciting, and early on I paired with Eugene and played like 4 hours without another fusion except the first one I did with Kayleigh.

I now switch back to her because I want to fuse. Locking fusions out of gameplay seems an odd choice, which would explain the reddit and steam posts asking why they can't fuse with Eugene. I wish I knew it before I started playing as I would've played differently (and regret is not a nice feeling).

Other than that, loving the game!

I am near the end of the game and just now unlocked Eugene's first heart. He is patently the worst party member because it is impossible to unlock his first heart without playing through a large portion of the game.

I've still only beat one landkeeper place because I found another and can't figure out how to get on top of the building. I assume I need another field skill because I didn't see any puzzles around.
