How to bond a Orange Swordtail
Make defiance your most frequent instinct: challenge, refuse, take the path you were told not to take. Favour direct choices: the shortest line to the problem.
One route that works, and the one with the best odds of surviving (80% chance of a bond):
- The Gate. Slip onto the scree path nobody else wants.
- 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. Kneel and press your palm into the ash until it stops shaking.
- The Silent Colossus. Bow once, rise, and speak your own name.
- The Judgment. Your word. Swear to guard wing and rider alike.
Instincts shown on this route: Defiance, Defiance, Loyalty, Defiance, Resolve, Resolve, Loyalty. Other routes reach the same breed. What matters is the count of each instinct and each tail, not the exact scenes.
