The first official party member you can accept is Leon Strohl. He is a fallen noble whose house and territory have been destroyed after a human attack. He is now trying to keep living while upholding justice and goodness. After the protagonist, he is the second person who awakens an Archetype. It won’t take long before you can establish a bond with Strohl in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Since he is an active party member, prioritizing his bond is a good idea since it can offer you all sorts of benefits.
Best Dialogue Choice for Strohl Bond in Metaphor: ReFantazio
Like Hulkenberg‘s bond in Metaphor: ReFantazio, you can only start bond events with Strohl after you have completed the Grand Cathedral dungeon. This is quite early in the game since it is the first big dungeon you must finish to progress the main story.
