Rank 8 Strohl bonus?

[Hex: Onii-Chan]

So, I reached Rank 8 bond with Strohl and it says something about him unlocking a Heroic Embodyment. However, there is nothing anywhere in the game that explains what that does. Without spoilers - how do I activate / unlock / reach this thing? Current ingame date is 09/11.

Oh, you again. You really like a lot of the same RPGs, huh?

Traditionally in these SMT spin-off games, maxing a Social Link/Bond will allow that character to access a unique-to-them thing during the final stretch of the game; it's best not to worry about it until the end-game.

You need to wait for it later. It unlocks with story and you will get a new possible Archetype for each person on the team. Can't say more without spoilers.

[Fuhrer]

Story locked, wait awhile longer.

Aight, thanks everyone! Was worried it would be something like "Go to that NPC in that city" that I missed.

Not like there is much alternative atm XD
I'd love another proper BioWare RPG or the next entry from Larian / FromSoftware. Alas.

I'm burned out on FromSoftware only making Dark Souls games for about a decade straight; they used to make other stuff, like Shadow Tower and Armored Core!

Ah, you had a minor spelling error. Their sci-fi take on Dark Souls was interesting (the director said he wanted to do a sci-fi DS way back during DS2's development!), but the dodge mechanics, rapidly fluctuating stamina bar, and missions focused on telegraphed bosses means it's ultimately just another Souls entry divided up into episodes.

With all that said, we're getting really off-topic.

Freudean slip XD

To be fair, all AC games varied wildly from each other in those aspects. Anyway, question answered, back to Metaphor
