Squash Recruitment Guide

Learn how to recruit Squash in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes! Find out where to go, what item you need, and how to get it.

Alright, so you want to get Squash on your team in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes? He's a pretty useful character, but you can't just walk up and ask him to join. You'll need to get a bit further into the story first.

When you can recruit Squash: You need to have reached Euchrisse, the Land of Water. This means you'll have to clear out The Proving Grounds dungeon. That place can be a bit tricky with its rotating floors, so if you're getting lost, definitely check out a guide for it. After that, you'll want to head to Hishahn and recruit Carrie. The easiest way to do that is by following the steps on the Unlocking Fast Travel page. Once you've got fast travel sorted, hop over to the Treefolk Village.

Where to find Squash: Once you've arrived at the Treefolk Village, Squash is hanging out near the top. Just head over and chat with him.

What Squash wants: He's not going to join up right away. Squash needs a little persuasion in the form of a Sparklestone. Getting this item is the real grind here.

How to get a Sparklestone: Your best bet is to farm enemies called Phantombirds and Red Wyverns. You'll find them in the second area of the Dappled Forest. Here's the catch: they only have a 5% chance to drop a Sparklestone. Yeah, you might be here for a bit. These enemies aren't too tough at this point in the game, but keep an eye on your health just in case.

Pro-Tip for farming: If you happen to have the Lucky Badge, which you can find in a chest in the Seaside Cavern, equip it! It'll boost your drop rates, making the Sparklestone hunt go a little faster. Every bit helps, right?

Bringing Squash home: Once you've finally snagged that Sparklestone, head back to Squash. Give him the item, and he'll agree to join your cause. With Squash on board, you'll be able to build the Accessory Shop back at your Headquarters, which is a pretty sweet deal for upgrading your gear.
