Discover how to recruit every character in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. This guide details recruitment locations and requirements for all 120 potential allies.
Of the 120 characters to find in Eiyuden Chronicle, 46 of them will join as part of the main story, so you won’t have to do anything to get them. However, that still leaves plenty of other characters that don’t do that, so you will need to find them in the game’s world. Some of these extras will simply join upon talking with them, but others will require you to do something before they actually hop aboard. There are even some characters that you might run into earlier on, who might not want to join you until much later.
We’ve broken this up into the main events of the game where new characters become available to recruit. This also includes those that will join automatically as part of the story, so you can keep track of how close you are to bagging all 120 characters.
