Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes All Characters Guide: where to find and how to recruit every hero

by Josh Torres on 23 April, 2024

As the successor to the beloved Suikoden series, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has an extremely large cast of characters to recruit. In Suikoden, there were 108 Stars of Destiny that referred to the protagonist and the over 100 characters they could collect to join their side.

Meanwhile in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, that number has been further bumped up to a grand total of 120 characters to recruit and collect. Keep in mind that there are potentially two characters permanently missable because of bugs at this point in time. We believe that, under normal conditions when the game is fully fixed via patches, that no character will be permanently missable. In the mean time, we've made note of these characters in this guide with a large MISSABLE label by their name.

We have ordered and arranged this list in a manner of when a character can join your party at the earliest possible point. Note that when a character officially joins your cause in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, there will be a special animation and screen that showcases their full art portrait and character sprite to the bottom-right corner.

Some later characters may temporarily join you at earlier parts of the game, and we do not count those as having them permanently joined you at that point in time.

Another note to keep in mind is whenever we refer to something as 'Your Town', it will show up in game as the custom name you have given to your town when you first unlock the Town Development system. There are a plethora of custom names you can choose from, and that name will be referred to within the game's UI.

For instance, the custom name I gave my town was Pandaemonium and the overworld map will be called 'Near Pandaemonium'. The teleportation point on the Map List will refer to it simply as 'Pandaemonium', so whenever we refer to something as 'Your Town' or 'Your Castle' in this list, it's because it's up to you to decide what name you've given it!

With all that in mind, here is the Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes all characters guide on where to find them and how you recruit each of them.
