Metaphor ReFantazio’s Strohl Follower bond digs deeper into the young noble’s tumultuous quest for answers after humans destroy his family home. It’s gentle as Metaphor’s Follower bonds go, with fewer strict requirements than most, though you’ll still need to focus on raising one specific Royal Virtue to reach the end.

Our Strohl Follower answers guide lays out the best answers for each question so you can walk away with the most MAG possible. As with all of Metaphor ReFantazio’s bonds, Strohl’s will level up automatically, regardless of which answers you pick. However, getting the right one rewards you with additional MAG, which you need for unlocking more Archetypes and learning new Inherited Skills.If a question comes up in his bond, and we didn’t list it, it means the answer doesn’t matter. Pick whichever you like.

How to start Strohl’s Follower bond

Strohl’s Follower bond begins automatically during your trip through Nord Mines, and like with all three of the game’s early bonds, there’s no way you can miss it. Strohl’s Follower bond unlocks the Warrior Archetype, and while increasing his Follower rank comes with few special rewards outside the usual MAG discount for studying the Warrior line, you’ll need to max it out to unlock Strohl’s very good Royal Archetype.
