Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has a massive 120 heroes to add to your party, and while not all of them are controllable in battle, all of them have something to add, whether that’s boons outside of combat or new facilities in your town. Here’s our guide on how to recruit all characters in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.
Important Things to know
Two of the heroes will make collecting the others much easier. Carrie, a story-mandated character, unlocks the ability to fast travel, while B’baba, who is recruited as part of Faye’s quest, unlocks the divining parlor, which lets you see where (and how) to unlock other heroes. Although Carrie is a mandated character we’ve put her in this list for convenience.
Additionally, Stadler unlocks the ability to level up your non-active party members, which can help keep everyone at a decent level.
Several of the recruitable heroes require investment in the many minigames within Eiyuden Chronicle. Additionally, some characters are missable – we’ve marked these wherever possible.
Part 1
Mellore – You’ll encounter Mellore while walking down the central street in Eltisweiss. Follow her to the entrance of the town, and follow her to complete a sidequest.
Iugo – Iugo can be found in a bar hidden away in Eltisweiss. To find it, go to the easternmost road. There’s an alleyway between some buildings. Speak to him to recruit him automatically.

In order, you’ll need to visit Yusuke, Franscesca, and Yume, returning to B’baba in between them. After finding Faye with Yume, she’ll join your team.

To get this item you’ll need to find an Unknown Antique by defeating Scarabs in the Eastern Desert, then taking them to an appraisal shop. The scarabs drop two different Unknown Antiques. If you can’t find it straight away, be patient. Note: You’ll get an extra scene if Perielle is in your party when you speak to him.
Part 6: New Areas
