Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes 100% Walkthrough - Complete Minimalist step-by-step guide

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a spiritual successor to the Suikoden JRPG series, now available for consoles and PC. If you are looking to 100% the game and get all achievements, we're here to help.

This walkthrough is a minimalist bullet point guide for those who don't want to dive into a dense lengthy walkthrough, but also for those who don't want to miss anything that will prevent you from getting 100% bestiary and chests. 

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a pretty easy RPG, especially on its normal difficulty selection, so anyone with RPG experience should be able to get through the game without too much trouble. Remember to keep your mages in the back row, physical attackers in the front row, heal when needed, use items (they're cheap!) and all that.

What this walkthrough will do:

• Offer a minimalist walkthrough so you know what you need to do at any point in the game.
• Point out treasure chests and enemies so you can complete the game 100%.

What the walkthrough will not do:

• Offer anything more than the most rudimentary introduction strategies for bosses or party build.
• In-depth Dungeon Walkthroughs. The dungeons in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes are mostly very straightforward. Use the in-game map and you will usually not get lost. I'll will help out some of the trickier ones.

  • Since this dungeon is a bit trickier, here’s a mini walkthrough.
    • Grab 1500 Baqua chest (1/11) and proceed to the first room
    • Rotate the room such that you can enter the first door to the left in the corridor in front of you (the pedestal will be red-ish)
    • Head to the platform and ride it
    • Follow the path and press the buttons to get the Ruby Brooch (2/11)
    • Examine the semi-circle at the far south, then exit right with the platform
    • Get chest Magic Drop x2 (3/11), continue to be back at the front.
    • With the pedestal set to ‘red’ again, enter the first door on the left, then move north and exit back to the main corridor through the other door, then enter the middle door on the right. In this room, ride the lift.
    • Follow the path again to another button/gear puzzle. Get Tanzanite Brooch (4/11) and continue. Examine the semicircle, then exit left.
    • Get chest 6x Quality Healing Herb (5/11), then continue back to the start of the corridor
    • Set the pedestal such that the whole display is colored yellow, then head RIGHT, backwards through the side path. You’ll end up in the corridor again. First, head to the fan-platform to the north to be in a dead end with Palenight Mail (6/11). Then, go back to the corridor and head into the first room on the right. Get the Topaz Brooch (7/11), then continue through another fan-platform to a dead end to get Rune of Fire Enchantment (8/11). Backtrack to the pedestal.
    • Click the Pedestal until there’s a fan immediately across the gap in front of you. You should know what to do here, head RIGHT and get to that fan by backtracking through the right side-path again. Get chest with Rune of Sidewinder (9/11). Back to the pedestal.
    • Don’t change the pedestal (keep it such that there’s a fan-platform across the gap). Head LEFT. Follow the path, and once you return to the corridor area, you’ll be able to cross a bridge (from the right-center room to the left-center room) to get to a new fan-platform. Get chest Rune of Quick Slash (10/11), then return again.
    • Change the pedestal such that you can enter the last room on the left (will show a red-orange bar in the center). Get 1500 baqua (11/11) and ride the platform. Continue on the path through a few platforms and click the triangle floor switch.
      • Make sure to get the Random Battle Chest in the area with the triangle floor switch
    • Change the pedestal so you can enter the last room on the right (the pedestal will have a yellow-green bar on the bottom). You’ll have to zig-zag through the corridor rooms to get there. You’ll find a switch that Kallathor will hit for you.
    • You can make your way through now. Click the pedestal a few times to make a straight path.

• Euchrisse Story Events
  • After returning to Hishahn from Hishahn Old Town, there will be a long sequence of scenes, events, and two war battles.
    • For the first War Battle, the focus is to stay alive

11. Teleportation Tour 2

• Nowa is tasked to go to Impershi'arc, while Seign heads to Ardinale. Before that, let's teleport around the world a second time.
• Your Town
  • You may have done this earlier, but this is a good time to raise your city to rank 2, which unlocks quite a bit.
  • Bump into Faye west of center section
  • After bumping into Faye, stop quickly by Daphan Village and talk to B’baba in the western house to recruit her
  • Steps to recruit Faye
    • Talk to B’baba in the eastern room on Floor 1
    • She says “We must seek out a swaggering man, rosy clad and brashly so.”
    • Go to Yusuke at the Roof of Your Castle and find Faye there
    • Go back to B’baba. She says “We must seek out a mouth most vulgar and foul, veiled in a sheath of ivory elegance.”
    • Go to Francesca at Castle Floor 1, leftmost room
    • Go back to B’baba. She says “We must seek out a pair joined in friendship: one minute, one mammoth.”
    • Go to Yume at Castle Floor 2
    • Faye finally joins you.
  • Find Leon laying down near the West entrance to your base and he’ll join automatically
  • Recruit Milana at the Rune Shop, she joins automatically.
    • You need to upgrade the Rune Shop to sell Runeshards.
  • You don't have to do this now, but if you do 15 Cooking Contests by speaking with Kurtz, you will recruit Celia. The contests appear within roughly 10 minutes of the previous one. There's no expiration on this availability, so do them when you feel like it. However, it's easier when you have more recipes, so probably best to come back later in the game.
• Hishahn
  • Recruit Aire at the SW portion by beating her in a race.
    • I believe this is automatic
  • You can run into Syd near the smithy, but you can’t recruit him yet
  • You can run into Jorhan near the Hishahn Trading Post. Put Perrielle in your party and speak to him to learn about a Scarab in Eastern Desert that hoards rare antiques. You’ll come back for him later, after going to the desert.

  • Recruit Douglas in the smithy by bringing him 10 iron ore
    • If this doesn't seem to be triggering right, turn in your iron ore to your base, then talk to Douglas.
  • Meet Larla at the Eltisweiss Inn. She’ll join if you receive an Epic Success on a Guild Mission. You may not have this yet, and it’ll be easier to achieve once your base is Rank 3.
    • A decent combination to use is Zabi / Marin / Kallathor / Gieran in Get us lumber!
  • Steps to recruit Isha
    • Encountered at southeast fountain of Eltisweiss. You’ll have to do a series of tasks to recruit her
    • Find a lost cat with “black fur and a slinky walk.”
      • Find that cat at southwest corner of town.
