How to bond a Blue Swordtail
Split your first six choices evenly across three instincts, two each, then make your seventh choice the fourth instinct you have not used. Favour direct choices: the shortest line to the problem.
One route that works, and the one with the best odds of surviving (78% chance of a bond):
- The Gate. Hang back. Read the wind and the ridgelines first.
- The Ravine. Keep walking. The Vale culls the weak.
- The Ridge. Rope the squad together and cross at the pace of the slowest.
- The River. Wade out where the codex says never to cross.
- The Ashfield. Gather the tags of the fallen to carry home.
- The Silent Colossus. Bow once, rise, and speak your own name.
- The Judgment. Your courage. Stand in the heat without flinching.
Instincts shown on this route: Resolve, Defiance, Loyalty, Defiance, Loyalty, Resolve, Courage. Other routes reach the same breed. What matters is the count of each instinct and each tail, not the exact scenes.
