Metaphor ReFantazio – Strohl Bond (Social Link) guide and answers

Strohl is the first party member the protagonist meets early on in Metaphor: Refantazio. He joins your party and develops his first archetype. The moment he does so, he also forms a bond with the protagonist. However, to fully develop their bond and gain the gameplay benefits in the process, you’ll have to spend time with him through Bond quests. Strohl’s Bond unlocks in Nord Mines as part of the main story on 6/6 after completing the Regalith Grand Cathedral dungeon. Each bond event has dialogue choices, and depending on your choice, you will earn extra MAG.

Here are all the best answers for all of Strohl’s eight Bond ranks in Metaphor: Refantazio.
