how do you meet Ste? Ever since the reset I can't remember how I unlocked him in the first place
After you free Korg from Vicoria, I don't remember if you need to processed stories or not, but Ste is the next prisoner, so check Vicoria's dungeon once a while to see if he's there.
Nah just unlock korg and talk to him in the cave or leave him. Either one and then ste should be at viccoria.
