How to unlock the Tightly Wound Bond achievement in SCARLET NEXUS - Definitive Guide

You must do all available Bond Episodes with all characters, including Team Bond Episode(s). Use companions as part of your team in combat (ideally the lowest bond ones to get a boost there) and give them all available gifts. Note that some companions appear a lot later in the game so I would recommend using them more to raise bond level.

You only need to do this as either Yuito or Kasane, it does not need to be both. Also, don’t worry if you’re on the final Phase. Once you finish the game, you get placed back before the start of the final mission so you can mop up pretty much everything from Bond Levels to side quests.

Edit: Giving a character the heart gifts (the red hearts in particular) can supposedly raise their level up sooner. I believed as much, but didn’t include this in the original guide without confirmation (credit Draconus Reaper for this)

Is it possible to get level 6 with everyone if I missed a bond episode by accident? Is there a way to grind the level 6 by playing with that person a lot or will I have to redo a playthrough?

Thank you for letting me know! I was forcing myself to play with characters I didnt necessarily wanted to play with for stronger bonds!

Keep doing the bond episodes though even if you don’t need them to meet the requirements for other achievements. Enjoy the game!

You could also just keep giving gifts that character love until it pops, I just did this after doing all the bond quests and was sitting at phase 11 standby with 4 characters at bond level 5.

I thought as much, but didn’t include this because I didn’t know if it was true, I gave several gifts myself and it didn’t work for me, but then again it’s probably because I didn’t give enough.

It was hit and miss with the amount I needed to give in the end, some took 3 gifts while 1 took about 6-7 gifts.

I got all to level 6... But no achievement pop... Maybe you need to up Yuito and Kasane in their bot respective history's too?

I unlocked after doing my first run ever in the game as Yuito, maybe it just glitched?

I did mine on my first run with Yuito, try shutting down the console and then power it back on, sometimes achievements glitch. Also have you seen all the bond episodes?

Thumbs up. Also, to confirm your edit, the gifts count. You can even spam gifts with no hearts although it will take longer. I had surplus materials for yellow heart and no-heart gifts and just kept giving them until the bond levels increased.

So that’s the thing, yesterday I had extra bond episodes for Kagero, Gemma and Tsugumi, but had already got them to level 6. This was after the posting of this guide. It is possible that maybe using them as much as possible will boost their levels further? It’s a confusing system and they don’t tell you how.

But doing all bond episodes and giving gifts guarantees level 6 even if you don’t use the characters

Go via Satori the Archivist and press X to access the shop.

In the shop navigate to Exchange > Presents
From here, you can see which gifts have been gifted to which member of your team.

I can confirm that giving the same gift over and over to the same recipient works for this achievement.
As an example, I crafted 12 of the Heavy Dumbell's for Gemma and gave him these over and over until the achievement popped for me.

I recommend working on this trophy after you have completed your EX New Game with your 2nd character, doing all Bond Episodes, and giving all gifts. For this trophy you must reach Bond Level 6 with all team members. You only have to do this once so I recommend doing it for the character you wish to play as until you reach the platinum. Bond Levels are essentially an affection system that increases as you fight alongside, do Bond Episodes, and give presents to your allies. If you are doing all Bond Episodes and giving all presents then you will likely have the majority of characters at Level 5 if not Level 6. If you have already given all presents, go ahead and exchange items for the presents that give the most affection to the allies you still need. You will know which presents give the most affection since they will have a large, red heart on the picture of the ally they are given to. Just continue to give these gifts to the allies you need to greatly raise their affection. After a couple of times they should increase to Level 6. Once all allies are at Level 6, you will receive some pretty nice SAS perks along with this trophy.

Even after viewing all the communication histories and with all the gifts given, most likely, relations with all allies will not be at the maximum level. Since we will still need to farm experience for the trophy for leveling up all our skills, we simply take into our team those allies with whom the level of communication has not reached the coveted six and go clear some locations or perform side quests with them. In my case, it was clearing the final location, after completing it completely to the final boss, then returning to the base and talking to the necessary allies there, after which the level of communication increased. I simply gave some gifts a second time, and the level of communication rose, but for some reason it didn’t work out that way for everyone.

It is also worth noting that the connection level does not transfer to the new game + for another character. Each of the main characters has their own level of connection with their allies. In fact, you can get this trophy in one playthrough, but since you still need to open all the communication stories in the game and give all the gifts, during the second playthrough on NG+ you will still have to constantly communicate with your partners at the base. After completing the new game + for another character, you can switch between the main characters, and there you can already see which of them has more allies pumped to the 6th level of communication, and with the rest, increase this level using the above methods.

I simply gave some gifts a second time, and the level of communication rose, but for some reason it didn’t work out that way for everyone. It works with everyone, you just have to give a lot. For example, I gave a bespectacled man 8 cameras.

All relationships can be brought to level 6 with gifts. For some, a couple of gifts with hearts are enough, for others 7-8. Even ordinary gifts will work, without a heart, but in large quantities.

If by the end of the game not all of your allies have reached maximum connection, then you can take them as Escorts and go on side quests. Or just walk around and around locations with mobs. There is also an option to give gifts in the second round

I don’t know how accurate this is, but before the 11th rest phase, everyone will not be able to reach level 6. I gave Shiden about 30 cameras, he didn’t care, just like Arashi and Kyoka. In rest phase 11, all the remaining side quests for communications, squad communications, and communications levels came out.
PS: I don’t know where this came from (maybe the PS5 version or it was added over time), but from the very beginning of the game I had a trinket to speed up the leveling of connections. I went with him the whole game and, not counting the nonsense due to the early stuffing of turnips, I opened everything with everyone simply according to the plot, giving each phase gifts in 1 copy, which were opened as the plot progressed in the exchange.

We receive a letter (after the second or third phase), stomp to this character and enter 14 codes. We get several interesting items that will make it easier to get platinum.
