The 'Hermit' Social Link is tied to the Fox, who resides at the Tatsuhime Shrine. To advance this Social Link, you must complete various requests posted on the Ema board at the shrine. These quests often involve finding specific items, talking to NPCs, or defeating certain Shadows in dungeons. Completing these quests also reduces the cost of healing in the TV World, making dungeon crawling more efficient.
How to Start:
The Hermit Social Link becomes available in June. After the events of the Marukyu Striptease, visit the Tatsuhime Shrine and interact with the Ema board. The Fox will appear, and you can accept your first request.
General Tips:
- Check the Ema Board Regularly: New requests appear as you progress through the story and advance the Hermit Social Link.
- Talk to Everyone: Many requests require you to talk to specific NPCs in town to gather information or find items.
- Dungeon Exploration: Some requests involve finding specific Shadows or items within the TV World.
- Rewards: Completing requests not only advances the Hermit Social Link but also provides Yen, items, and sometimes boosts to your Social Stats.
Prioritize this Social Link, as the reduced healing costs are incredibly beneficial, especially in the early game.
