Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

All Recruitable Characters

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a throwback to the more classic JRPGs, with it being a spiritual successor to the Suikoden series. One of the biggest drawing points of that series was being able to recruit 108 characters for your army. Hundred Heroes is no different, as you will be able to find a total of 120 characters to join your party, some of which can join you in battle, and others that help you out in other ways. This page will provide a list of every single character in the game that can be recruited.

There are 120 characters to recruit in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.

Where to Find All Recruitable Characters

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.

Initial Characters

These characters are your initial group, available as soon as you start the game. Note that the prologue will have a few extra characters that aren’t available until later. Additionally, while we’ll provide notes on how to recruit every character here, click on their name to be taken to a more in-depth guide for specific characters.

You’ll get Carrie during this section of the game, which unlocks Fast Travel, making life much easier to get around. The following table contains all of the characters you will be able to recruit at that time:

Following the resolution of the events in Euchrisse, you can choose between Nowa and Seign’s scenario. The majority of the recruits come from Nowa’s side here, but there are some automatic ones during Seign’s. The following table contains all of the characters you will be able to recruit at that time:

Recruitment During The Reunion Main Quest

Following the completion of both Seign and Nowa’s assignments, you’ll be back at the HQ and join with Marisa and Garoo to help Yarnaan. The following table contains all of the characters you will be able to recruit at that time:

Recruitment During the Norristar Events

Following the events at Yarnaan, you’ll find yourself in Norristar, a region that features a few towns where you can find more characters. There are quite a few story events here, so if you can’t recruit a character here, progress the story until the “Revenant Army Returns” Quest and try again. The following table contains all of the characters you will be able to recruit at that time:

(1 of 2) Momo is arguably the best mage in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

Recruitment Following the Norristar Events

This is the final event that opens up new recruitments, as such, it’s a good time to make use of B’baba to ensure she lists nobody else on there before progressing the story too much. The final automatic recruits come after the final optional (save for one exception). The following table contains all of the characters you will be able to recruit at that time:

Character Location How to Recruit
Allaby HQ Speak to her at the Inn
Reyna Dabavin Near the docks, need to take her down to 50% HP in 2-3 turns. We were able to recruit her during the “An Unexpected Ally” main quest with HQ Level 4
