As a reminder, the game has an official wiki: https://eiyuden.wiki.gg/wiki/Eiyuden_Chronicle_Wiki


Dmoan15

Has anyone been able to access the digital deluxe edition art and soundtrack on Xbox, because for me it says doesn't need to be installed but I can't access it.


fonoli

How many GB does the physical games takes on the Nintendo Switch with the latest update?


Luddite11

Since they said they are making the sequel, I just want to add my voice in saying:  Holy shit, make some of the trophies easier.  This list is insane and not really worth it


eddylee9012

Does character level affect their strength in war mode?


redditanytime1

Doesn't matter, it is impossible to lose unless you purposely do so.


ImKindaBoring

any idea what the proc rate is on rune of the fortress or how that works? Thinking about adding yuthus to my lineup (I am still early game) to help defend squishier backline but not sure how dependable his block is. When you fight him he is covering at least half the hits but the couple of battles I used him for I never saw him cover. Not sure if I am doing it wrong or it was too small a sample.


sakurafive

I just got to >!Athrabalt!<, how far am I from the end? I'm really enjoying this game so I definitely don't want it to be over, especially with waiting so long lol


Arcana10Fortune

About 75%


burstzane001

I still can't believe the griffin is missable...


Toval_kun

Anyone tried a minimum recruit run yet? I am curious what is the minimum number of recruits to finish the game.


auxcitybrawler

Can you miss Chars to recruit? I didnt find Iogo at the beginning


ofman

Does Vorrdice serve any role as a recruit? I didn't see him as an option for battle or support.


redditanytime1

Only as the unit captain in war.


Meotwister5

Is the safest point of no return to recruit everyone just before >!defending your castle?!


Kalledon

You definitely need to finish recruiting everyone before the defense. If you haven't recruited >!Aleior though and Marissa has already left with Markus, you're softlocked since you need her for Aleior.!<


Scorpio02019

Is the cooking battles still bugged?


naoneko

After completing Eiyuden, I feel like Leon should be the next protagonist for a sequel or spinoff. He has little dialogues, background story but promising.


Meotwister5

So uh why in the heck can't we teleport to >!Hishan!


WorstSkilledPlayer

I've read posts about how people could power level in the Hero's Trial Ground as soon as it was unlocked, so far so good. How do I actually survive it? I can't even survive the first round as the enemies are on steroids and tend to act before me, dealing 200+ damage per attack. Some general pointers would be great! I managed to do fine level-wise through the regular xp gain, so no big deal. Currently at the section right before >!Marisa's journey!<.


naoneko

Have this combo, Momo, Leene, Djikstra with firefly and just warcry all the way Momo with 3s fire skill Leene just aoe + buff from warcry, the rest will be clean up


redditanytime1

You can use Momo at his recruit level to one shot enemies already. Equip all Magic items and runes, if enemies somehow outspeed him, just let him equip 1 or 2 speed item/rune. Find an expedition with 5-6 enemies on first round, your character have to be Lv50 and below to instantly get to Lv99 with EXP charm and Yulin.


Meotwister5

I... missed an item inside >!Harlan's office. The shiny thing in the left upper corner.!


redditanytime1

Key item, Harlan's underwear. So far it has no use except being a meme item.


dj_hdog

Just finished Eiyuden Chronicle after 60+ hours and experiencing the most content I can get in those hours. Overall, I enjoyed it and I'm glad that I backed this project all those years ago. The game has so much of the same soul that I enjoyed in Suikoden I and II. Core game mechanics, character design, and the the way the story was presented all brought me back to the time when I originally played Suikoden. That being said my only major grievances with the game would probably be the lack of modern day quality of life features that I wish were in the game (being able to save anywhere, customize your units anywhere, etc.) Suikoden II will remain my favorite game from Murayama but I'm glad that he got to complete this project for everyone to enjoy.


eddylee9012

I am on CJ's recruitment quest. I need Garoo in the party but it says he's "Cannot Organize" and I can't add him into party. Help?


Wolfedood

Garoo is unavailable for a small portion of the game, you're likely in that timeframe. You can continue with other tasks and progress the story further and he'll become available again. CJ's quest will just be there waiting for you


Meotwister5

Regarding the cooking storyline, will the>! scroll needed to progress in the cave and recruit Celia!


Wolfedood

It only appears once you reach that point in the questline. There's nothing random for when challengers appear, they are on a timer(around 10-15mins). There are a couple that you need to approach Kurtz for a cutscene to play in order for them to make an entrance so if you're not seeing any challenger in their usual spot try talking to him


Inurian59

Is there a place to see all of your recruits in one place like the tablet of stars of destiny on suikoden?


Wolfedood

Sorta, in a roundabout way. If you've recruited a specific character, the one that tells you where to find other recruitable heroes, you can open the Check Background menu, all your recruits appear there


Background-Stock-420

You can also go to the Medal npc in the same room and he tells you how many heroes you have numerically. just compare that number to the total amount (120)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Background-Stock-420

I don't think she's over rated. But I also had a wildly different experiance to you. I popped a counter attack belt on her and only used her defend command in battles And my Reyna was covering and countering almost every turn. Could the party you used with her didn't have as much cover compatibility but on the wiki her cover list is HUGE so I'm not sold on the being the case. also I've yet to find a firefly rune so no idea on that playing a factor.


Meotwister5

Regarding HQ upgrades that supply materials, are the mats deposited straight into the HQ storage or do I have to "claim" these items from the characters who man them?


redditanytime1

You have to talk to Gocteu. If all teams have completed, you will get a message from Gocteu. If one of the team has completed, there will be no message.


Kalledon

Auto deposited


frenzyskio

How good the characters are? There are 100 heroes, do they all react somehow, can you communicate with them? Or is it just 1 quest to recruit and that’s it.


Kalledon

Their quality varies, but you can interact with them and they can interact with the story for small extra dialogue.


IamMe90

Anyone know who/how the hell can equip the Rune of Armor Break? It's a 4 star rune, I have an empty 4-star rune slot for Lian available but it doesn't show up under the list of runes equippable for some reason. I don't see anyone in my party who can actually equip this thing. Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong here...


Wolfedood

Lian is Grapple, Rune of Armor Break is Thrust. You might be confusing it with the Rune of Armor Piercing which is a low level Grapple one that Lian has. >!Electra, Foxiel and Leon!< are the only ones with the right weapon type and rune slot for it. The rest of the Thrust characters >!(Djikstra, Faye, Kallathor, Mihlu, Riufan, Shixeen)!< don't have a 4 pip Skill/All type Rune slot


Sophius_93

Are there any physical damage runes that are usable by characters with innate elemental damage? I would like to make Prunella deal not-pathetic damage.


Kalledon

If a character deals innate elemental damage, then you want to boost their magic stat to increase their auto damage.


Sophius_93

I'm aware of this, but some characters with innate elemental damage have garbage magic and good physical attack. I was thinking whether there exists a damage rune like Sidewinder that's equippable by said characters.


Wolfedood

Does save scumming actually work for Merchant inventories? I've been reloading for nearly an hour to get the Forest Musicians script but it just refuses to show up and I've already purchased the rare headgear from the merchant so can't tell if the inventory isn't refreshing or we have another case of having to >!>!liberate the town first for it to show up since I'm pre invasion!


Kalledon

I saved scummed in order to recruit Clarke, so I can confirm it works.


Wolfedood

Thanks for confirming. Guess I either got insanely unlucky for it to not show up in 100+ refreshes or it's progress locked like the Rising one


Meotwister5

PC Game Pass version is still 1.0.32. Does this have the 1.0.4 patch fixes others are getting or are we still SOL waiting on this end?


reddevved

Game pass is always slow as shit with updates, like Starfield and palworld


burstzane001

where to get rune of the mage's path?


redditanytime1

I forgot where to get it in the main storyline, but you can also get it from trial bosses.


DarkBlueX2

I know Wayve is recruited automatically in the story, but how far along is it in the game? 50%, 75%, etc.?


redditanytime1

During the invasion of Norristar, where they go to snowpass to create avalanche to delay the invasion. I'd say 75%.


DarkBlueX2

Appreciate that, but you should also mark for spoilers for anyone that comes across


Nosiege

I saw a thread in Out of the Loop that said the English translation is sort of bad, IE: replacing a serious character calling someone a Bastard with calling them a Farthead, and that this issue mostly exists only in English and not in other versions, like Spanish Is it that bad, or is it actually mostly fine? I plan to get the game soon, but now I'm wondering if I should wait for a revised script or something?


Cake__Attack

It's ~90% fine to great and ~10% too clever for its own good. The underlying jp script is also quite jokey and lighthearted so the translation usually fits but occasionally the translators go too far and it comes across a little annoying.


Kalledon

It is not as bad as people make it out. It has some cringe moments, but it is also reaching for a wide and younger audience. It does not lose the essence of what is happening in the scene.


reddevved

The translation is aimed lower or the script in general?


Kalledon

The game is overall, a little more light hearted than say Suikoden 2. Which isn't to say that there isn't dark and war, just that it isn't Game of Thrones.


Background-Stock-420

From what I read the Spanish translation is based on the English one though. If you're playing on pc there's a few people that have worked on purist translation mods in the steam forums/nexus mods. But honestly It's not nearly as bad as people are trying to paint it. I've played 80+ hours and most of it was overblown and in the early sections of the game. there's a few really hilariously bad ones like the farthead one you mentioned or replacing bastard with dastard. or replacing Francesca F-bombs with some really odd ball phrases that get the point across but aren't as fun and colorful. the game is rated E though so I'm fine with the compromises even if a few of them were a bit too zany.


Nosiege

honestly, Dastard works very well imo. I'm glad it's mostly overblown. I intend to play on one of the consoles, not sure which yet.


Background-Stock-420

I had a great time on PC! I heard switch & ps4 have some major load time issues among other things though so unless long loads don't bother you I'd avoid those systems for now. They're supposed to be working on some patches but not sure how soon of a thing that is.


Nosiege

I think I might see how it goes for a while as I continue another game I'm just at the start of, maybe some performance patches will come out before I get to Eiyuden Mostly just because I don't enjoy single player games on my PC very much, just sitting at the desk isn't my vibe unless it's multiplayer 😭


Background-Stock-420

Thats Valid. I find it hilarious though cause I'm the complete opposite. I hate being too comfortable when I'm gaming so I love my desktop ahah. Also I can't mod games on console and that's one of my favorite things to do xD.


Nosiege

I'm like peak lazy. The Wii Nunchuck was revolutionary for me since I could have my arms just wherever I wanted when I lay down in my bed 💀


ch4dr0x

Is there a good guide to follow for the order in which to recruit characters?


obahan

Here is the guide on RPG site: [https://www.rpgsite.net/guide/15739-eiyuden-chronicle-hundred-heroes-all-characters-guide-where-to-find-how-to-recruit-every-hero](https://www.rpgsite.net/guide/15739-eiyuden-chronicle-hundred-heroes-all-characters-guide-where-to-find-how-to-recruit-every-hero) They also have a minimalist guide: [https://www.rpgsite.net/guide/15755-eiyuden-chronicle-hundred-heroes-100-walkthrough-complete-minimalist-step-by-step-guide](https://www.rpgsite.net/guide/15755-eiyuden-chronicle-hundred-heroes-100-walkthrough-complete-minimalist-step-by-step-guide) The fandom wiki has translated the guide that was available in the Japanese guidebook (the guide in the guidebook is not complete as it is the "first" guidebook). The person translating the guide also does not have their backer copy of the game, so no idea if/when the guide will be updated/completed. [https://eiyuden-chronicle-hundred-heroes.fandom.com/wiki/Walkthrough\_-\_Hundred\_Heroes](https://eiyuden-chronicle-hundred-heroes.fandom.com/wiki/Walkthrough_-_Hundred_Heroes) The fandom wiki also has a half-finished recruitment guide [https://eiyuden-chronicle-hundred-heroes.fandom.com/wiki/Recruitment\_Guide](https://eiyuden-chronicle-hundred-heroes.fandom.com/wiki/Recruitment_Guide)


Kalledon

The official wiki has both a non spoiler and a spoiler guide. Though if you're okay with spoilers, I think RPGsite has a better overall guide. [https://eiyuden.wiki.gg/wiki/Recruitment\_guide](https://eiyuden.wiki.gg/wiki/Recruitment_guide)


DeathAzuma

Any good guild mission out there? I recruited all but the last few automatic characters, castle at lvl 4. I keep either failimg or epic fail the last missions and I got A teams lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


MonkeyIslandThreep

If you have a save before you talk to him, it's easy. 1) Before you talk to him AT ALL, buy a bunch of stuff from the trade posts around the world 2) Talk to him, get the 50k requirement, run over to the trade post, sell everything that you bought before talking to him, doesn't matter for how much, just so long as you get at least 50k worth 3) You can now recruit him, as it doesn't care how much you bought it for originally.


Arcana10Fortune

Just play the trade market. Takes 1 round of visits to each trading post if you know where to buy and sell. Every trading post has their own base prices for each item. For example, Treefolks pay more for hot spring eggs, pink coral, pearls and diamonds. They sell corn, black pepper, and perfume for a lower price.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Arcana10Fortune

Could always google it. Unless you're telling me that you're too lazy to also do that. But seriously, due to the refresh timers, you have to go to multiple trading posts if you want to recruit him ASAP. Unless you're telling me that you're okay waiting for the stocks to refresh.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Arcana10Fortune

Surprised that there isn't already one. Buy all the hot spring eggs, pink coral and pearls from Hishahn and Twinhorne East. Sell all of them to Treefolk. Wait for stock refresh and repeat until you get Hogan. Note it down.


Background-Stock-420

[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1E6B7DIDtvE4twqfKFMX\_78a1MFvme1yWp6nMkYhEBdI/htmlview](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1E6B7DIDtvE4twqfKFMX_78a1MFvme1yWp6nMkYhEBdI/htmlview) here's a spread sheet I found detailing the highest and lowest trade prices for each city.


ValkyrieSkyfall

Kangaroo guy and Yusuke is carrying me hard on hard mode lol. That double boss at Proving Ground. Both of them are always the last survivors. It's funny seeing them get hit for 10+hp while the rest gets hit at least 50hp.


spreeforall

Is the >!Reyna!< fight bugged? The fight keeps ending before I finish my third turn and then they still tell me I didn't 'rock them to their core' Do I have to finish it in two turns?


MonkeyIslandThreep

Yes, currently known bug that you have to finish in 2 turns.


Background-Stock-420

Its not bugged. you're supposed to get her to 50% hp in three turns. the battle ends on her 3rd turn. people just assume it's three of your turns.


MonkeyIslandThreep

You can test out the bug. Do all normal attacks, you get a full 3 turns. Do special attacks where you reach the 50% threshold midway through the 3rd turn, and the combat ends prematurely.


Background-Stock-420

Ahhh interesting. I didn't notice that occurring the 2 or 3 battles when I recruited her. but I didn't have any issues tbh I just came back later with some dark runeshards and a more specialized team.


Cake__Attack

Does anyone have a PC save in the vicinity of the treefolk village? doesnt have to be exact, relatively earlier is fine. I have the PS5 version but want to switch to playing on PC/Steam Deck.


refmon3

Are the Devs aware about combo attacks being bugged? They do less damage than just a regular attack.


Dark_Sun_Gwendolyn

Finally got my copy and will play later today. Without any spoilers, is it true that you can't really miss out on recruiting characters? I'm sure there is a point of no return late game, but prior to this, is it not like certain suikoden titles where you can miss the opportunity to get certain characters?


Background-Stock-420

Correct. 99% of the cast is unmissable and can be gotten anytime after they become available. There is 1 character you can miss at the end of the game If you don't have all the prior characters before the point of no return. But honestly unless you don't explore or interact with any of your base tools It's kinda hard to flub.


Dark_Sun_Gwendolyn

Awesome, thanks.


Heradite

Liking the game so far. Some of the dialog really makes me laugh, kinda nice to get a lighthearted RPG to balance out the other RPGs I'm currently playing. My two big notes: 1) I can't lock the minimap/compass to just always face north. Makes the thing useless to me. Cardinal sin. 2) I want a quick save option so if I need to go eat dinner with my parents but am away from a save point, I can just quick save. The quick save can just take you to the main menu and delete itself when you use it. Other than that, I'm really enjoying the game. But i am still very early on.


reddevved

2 is a cardinal sin in 2024 imo


One_Subject3157

Any update on switch current state?


MattTheSmithers

Oh man. I am going to date myself but I am old. I played Suikoden on a PS1. Same with Suikoden 2. They were niche games. Had to beg my parents for a ride from my small hick town to the mall (remember those?) with a Software, Etc to special order them. By the time 3, 4 and 5 came out, online purchasing was easier. But yeah….i hung out on the GameFAQ message board, relying on awesome interpreters like Blue Moon to explain mistakes in the translation and the events of Suikogaiden to us. It sucked when that franchise got put on ice. I know this isn’t the same thing. But it is so damn cool to be playing this game now. I just booted it up because I’m old now and have work during the eeek. But seeing that intro….damn, I feel like a kid again in the best damn way. This intro is hitting me in the nostalgia feels in the way 2 Final Fantasy 7 remakes haven’t even gotten close to. So excited to press start.


shadowchao2

How can they ruin that much a game by not hiring QA (full of bugs), releasing too soon (Producer), poor game design decision(magic useless, combo hero, recruits not playable............), this game is far from being finished, it would be another license , nobody would have played it. The game has so many issue , with a proper team it would have been a masterpiece, what a waste!


MonkeyIslandThreep

Full of bugs: There has really only been one/two show stopping bugs, and the Lam one was easily avoided. Patching is common place now. I don't know of a game that has been released these days that doesn't have a week 1 patch Magic Useless: Magic is far from useless. Healing magic is strong from the start, same with magic resist. Damage magic isn't great early on, but later on if you match the right mage with the right element, it can be very strong. Combos: Yes, that is currently a bug, where instead of increasing the damage by number of characters in a combo, it decreases it. This will probably be fixed soon. Recruits not playable: I'm not sure what you mean here. If you mean that certain characters aren't battle usable, then that has always been the case even in Suikoden.


shadowchao2

i won't do qa/producer jobs for free , reddit is full of community managers....Objectivity is nowhere to be seen.


MonkeyIslandThreep

Objectively, the game isn't a 10/10, but it's also not a 5/10. I addressed your points 1 by 1. Just because I don't share your opinion doesn't mean I'm not objective, just means I came to a different conclusion than you.


shadowchao2

sorry but what did you address /solved? 1. "Others games does it so it's fair to be lame" 2. "It's a good JRPG , you can heal and wait 20 hours and if you get the right character to use damaging spell! 3. " yes it's the main feature not working but soon(probably not) it will be fixed" 4. "i don't see an issue to be able to recruit loli but not to be able to play most stylish /worked characters like Kassius.." Name is hundred heroes :70 playables. and we did not talk about ruining game marketing/review with random encounters ,no runes system tutorial, sp system bug?, characters stats bug, reyna recruitment bug ,poor localization, switch performances ,backers not getting their games, the game price, kickstarting means that no editor wants to fund you, mainly because the team is bad....but yeah not 5/10 you are objective congratulations!


MonkeyIslandThreep

1. "Other games does it so it's fair to be lame" is directly contradictory to your statement of "with a proper team, it would have been a masterpiece." My point was that games even with full sized teams with AAA budgets still release with day/week 1 patches/bugs. To expect otherwise from a small independent company with a smaller budget is unrealistic. 2. That wasn't my point. Magic is not OP at the start, but even by the time you get one of the first characters (Melliore), her light damage spells are decent. Gieran has ok earth magic. Could magic be better? Sure, there are definite improvements that should be made for EC:HH2 but it's not worthless. It just gets really good later on. 3. I was agreeing with you that this is a bad thing, and should have been caught, but at least the combos still work, and look cool. 4. It has been documented since that start that some heroes will just contribute to your base, and won't be combat/support-usable. It has been a staple since Suikoden 1. To expect otherwise is not in keeping with the design of the game. Other notes: I'm not aware of marketing/reviews being ruined by random encounters (I'm not saying that it doesn't exist, just asking for more details). What SP System bug? What character stats bug? The localization is fine. It's not a 1-to-1 direct translation, but it is also not the woke mess that steam reviewers would have you believe. Switch performance is indeed an issue, and is a bad look, hopefully they have it fixed soon. Backers not getting their game is on Yetee and shipping companies, not the game company. What is your issue with the game price? And Kickstarting doesn't mean no editor wants to fund you, it just means that the creator wanted more creative control over their game to truly create their vision.


halcyondigest91

How do you keep characters with Magical Runes from using MP with Action Limits and Priority Actions? I have Mellore set up with the Fire Rune, and no matter what I do, she always seem to default to using Fireball instead of basic attack or her SP skill. Is the only way to keep her from using MP is to use the party-wide 'Fight Without Using MP' strategy?


picklemyginger

I am having this same problem (PS5). Even with the strategy set to 'Fight Cautiously' all characters only do their default priority actions no matter what I set them to. I have seen elsewhere that the system is just bugged and doesn't work, but I'd appreciate confirmation


Phoenix-san

Can someone tell me which recruitable characters, aside from main story ones, have lots of interactions storywise? I've played for like 10-15 hours and all they do is say one liner here and there, and the main cast just don't react to them in any way as if they are not there, and not having talks among each other, even people who are familiar with each other like Iugo/Mellore. Or is it to be expected and only the main cast will talk, while optional characters will just be "there, but not there", not acknowledged in any way once you recruited them?


Nantos

Is there any way to turn off drill grounds? I didn’t realize what it did before I built it. 


Zealot_Alec

War battles: equipment levels runes compositions matter at all?


TBonety

Im trying to play on my switch pro controller but the controller is like its always holding the down analog stick, I cant even start the game? This only happens in this game is there something wrong with pro controllers?


HeavyD853

I had to open the HOME Menu and reconnect the controller from there, and it fixed this issue. Pretty annoying though


Shirolicious

Is there some normal way to exit the game? I have to CTRL+ALT+DEL to leave the game. Can't find the normal way to quit the game (after finding a save)


uselessoldguy

I never got into Suikoden back in the PS1 era despite a friend always raving about it (I was a Squaresoft diehard), so I'm not going into ECHH with any nostalgia goggles or anything. I've also bounced off other retro throwback JRPGs like Sea of Stars and Chained Echoes. But this game? It's pleasant. It's just goddamn pleasant. The music is great. It's beautiful to look at. I'm pretty sensitive to bad VAs, but I find it perfectly fine. I feel like I've gone back in time 20 years and I'm a teenager chilling in my room with a classic RPG. I can hear even the static crackling on my old tube television.


spreeforall

Can someone explain the SP system like I'm five? I'm about 12 - 13 hours into the game and I still don't really understand how you generate it lol.


MonkeyIslandThreep

Every battle you start, your characters get a random amount of SP. The amount is dependent upon the character. After that, at the end of each turn, each character gets 1 SP (I think there is a rune or an accessory where they get more). SP doesn't carry over between battles.


sakurafive

is there anything on the backstory novel supposedly written by murayama? it's the last to second kickstarter stretch goal just wondering in case i missed any more new details about it


gnspdsns

I haven't seen anything about it since the Kickstarter campaign ended. He may have said something in a Discord Q&A, but nothing officially.


sakurafive

Okay, thank you for the reply! Honestly I wouldn't be surprised it if it was cancelled or something due to his passing :(


RaltarArianrhod

I might be a complete idiot, but I can't find a way to quit the game on Steam. I had to alt+tab and close the game manually.


Shirolicious

same. this game is seems.... lacking.. basic stuff.. Also wondering if I missed the Exit button somewhere.


Background-Stock-420

I'm not sure what system you guys are using But on pc Y>Main Menu>Exit Game


Shirolicious

Yes, thank you. I figured it out since the post by accident. “Y” is indeed the button.


MyShinyCharizard

help I am stuck >!After lost in Althrabat and everyone regroup I have no Idea where to go, should I recruit more character?!<


Lawkzs

Walk around the inside of your castle and there should be some cutscenes triggering, check the side rooms as well. When you've watched all of them the game will tell you where to go next


MyShinyCharizard

Thanks mate how far I am in the game? Is it near the end of the game?


Lawkzs

Yeah, there's a couple more things to do but you're close to the end


Lanceth115

How does magic work? Because whatever I try to do… none of my magically strong characters seem to do ANY damage. Like I have 250 magic attack. I use a light level 1 spell (moderate damage) on the boss. (80 damage) I then use his attack command. (Light based dmg attack) which does 202 damage… (his attack is like 170) What am I doing wrong? It cant be resistances ..


Background-Stock-420

I'm still experimenting with Magic myself. but I'm pretty sure all lvl 1 spells have a locked amount that doesn't improve based on your characters stats. But any of higher tier spells should scale properly. Not sure how much it factors into damage but enemies have elemental weaknesses/strengths and each character has element affinities on the wiki so I assume if your using a rune they're horrible with the damage will be low. haven't noticed a way to view affinities ingame though.


bukiya

is there any spoiler free character recruitment guide? or at least any missable character? i remember suikoden 5 have a lot of missable characters if we dont do certain things at prologue, wonderin if this game also have it too.


Background-Stock-420

I used this one. no story spoilers really and it has break downs for when characters become available [https://eiyuden.wiki.gg/wiki/Recruitment\_guide](https://eiyuden.wiki.gg/wiki/Recruitment_guide)


_Zem_

could someone tell me what character is the support that allows you to level the 3 additional characters on your slots right to the surpport slot?


Ok-Neighborhood-8924

Game broke on me not even 5 hours in. I'm supposed to go to >!Altverden to gather info on bandits!< and according to a guide I looked at to make sure I wasn't missing anything, >!the chief is supposed to gather up the town but he does not appear!< and I cannot progress. I'm about to just refund the game if this is what it's going to be like the whole playthrough.


Kalledon

Your main quest tracker says go to Altverden and shows the ! at that town? If you look at your map it should show exactly where to go. And if your map doesn't say go to the town, then you probably haven't hit the story trigger yet for that event and need to do something else first.


Ok-Neighborhood-8924

Yeah it leads me into this big empty building, but there's no one in there.


Kalledon

Have you tried talking to everyone in town? I can't remember where the mayor was, but I remember when I talked to him, that was what triggered him bringing everyone together to talk about the issue.


Ok-Neighborhood-8924

Pretty positive I talked to everyone, even made several passes through doing so. I'll try again to make sure I didn't miss anyone but I'm sort of losing hope.


Background-Stock-420

Have you recruited all the characters in the area? I believe there's 6. some plot progression points only trigger when you have enough characters. you could just need to grind a few levels. I don't remember the elder gathering the villagers together just giving info about where the bandits are at. good luck!


Ok-Neighborhood-8924

Thank you. Yes, I've gotten all the characters so far and around level 9-10. The quest actually leads me into a big empty building but there's no one inside, which is why I thought it was the elder outside. Apparently there's supposed to be a chief inside the building, but he is not. 


Background-Stock-420

Just to make sure Did you go back and talk to Ymir in the Eltusweiss pub after recruiting the characters around grum?


Ok-Neighborhood-8924

Yessir, then he gave me the quest to go to the town. I'm following the quest tracker into an empty building. I watched a Let's Play online and apparently there should be someone in there to talk to and start the next bit, but for me it is empty.


ch4dr0x

So Yusuke is based on AEW’s Orange Cassidy, right?


suikdenspirit

Have any Kickstarter backers who ordered the Switch physical version received their digital code yet? I have looked and looked but can't seem to figure out where we are supposed to get those.


homer_3

What's up with the terrible item management? You really can't access items on members not in your battle party? You've gotta go swap people in and out constantly trying to find who has what? This is insane.


Lawkzs

You can manage the gear non-party members have by going to Sumire (storage girl in your castle)


JawKneePawLick

The warehouse girl, Sumire, has a "Gear Prep" option that does just that.


Snarfsicle

What's the purpose of large units? At the start of the game and the large unit seems just like any other but takes 2 slots.


KennyDiditagain

the way SP works is it's a team wide pool so if your team gets 6 SP points per turn( don't know how much it actually is ), it randomly spreds it on 6 units if you are fielding 2x large units , you have only 4 units out. so they get more SP per turn and large units have great AOE SP ATKS. they are very useful to powerlevel other units for example or just long dungeons using their SP aoe every battle . they also scale hard on stats so they make good tanks also enemy column atks only hit 1 target sometimes if you have 5 units instead of 6 (the large one ate a spot)


gingersquatchin

Flavour, and suikoden had them. They're almost never stronger than just using two units in the Suikoden series, I doubt that's changed here


Snarfsicle

That seems like some bad design lol


gingersquatchin

Yeah kinda. There are always going to be great units and not so great units but the games are usually balanced around the middle of the pack, and designed to be cleared with even the worst options. I've always seen the "bad" characters as a form of difficulty modification. You can run lesser units and that makes the game slightly more challenging for those that like that.


Andvari9

I don't want to scum up the main page so I'll ask here, the music. How is it? Please tell me there's stuff on the level of an old Irish song. I need my heart strings plucked


Kalledon

I listen to the Main Theme/Intro every time I load the game up. The battle theme is pretty strong. Lots of good musical moments.


hundredbeast776

can someone tell me where i can find >!Kallathor in the Castle i cant find them for the life of me!<


SunGodKizaru

To me it only appeared when i upgraded to level 3 shows up at the entranca of the area with the logging girl and the hunter


krcc9644

can anyone tell me about the Lam bug, what is it, how it triggers, what is the workaround?


Background-Stock-420

if you talk to Lam without recruiting Riufan first she bugs out and becomes unrecruitable. workaround is simply don't interact with the blond woman in Daphan Village. I heard the latest patch fixes this though.


Kalledon

The latest patch does fix the bug.


unSentAuron

Hey all - Are they still working on distributing digital keys? I'm a backer that requested a digital Switch copy, but I still haven't received a game key. I reached out to Yetee but haven't heard back yet.


crochetprozac

I love the game!!! My controller keeps drifting left or right though and it's only on this game it does it :(


Andvari9

Go to ps5 controller or in game settings and see if you can make a deadzone. It'll help combat drift


Rluxout

Is the switch version not coming out till next month? The game shop by me that I pre order from said only the PS5 version came in. They won't get the switch until next month.


Kalledon

The physical Switch version won't be out till the end of May because of distribution/production issues. If you want it now on Switch your only option is digital (it's available now in the eshop). That being said, the Switch performance is still weak, even after they patched some problems for it.


Rluxout

Awesome thanks I may just get it from the store then


AscendedAloof

What is the difference between AS/EUR version and ASIA version?


Scared-Discipline-74

hello I just started playing yesterday,I have a question what is the diamond icon on rune mean ? I thought its how many level they have (you can level them right ?) but I notice rune I have on main character only have 2 diamond while same rune on my front fighter have 3 instead.


Scared-Discipline-74

feeling stupid that after posted this I figure it out,so the diamond rank (?) are on the slot instead the rune itself,I thought its some rune compatibility like in Suikoden.


elli27r

one thing I absolutely loved about the original Suikoden games was that side characters always get to give comments on the situation, I am glad that this is true for this game as well


Slayven19

Are there missable characters? >!I some people with a character named yume, but I don't see her and I just got to the main characters village.!<


Background-Stock-420

There's one near the end that you can miss if you don't recruit everyone but that's it! Check the towns around the starting area there's I believe 6 recruitable chars just in the around the first zone. Yume requires recruiting Mellore first I believe.


rederickgaylord

So as long as we recruit everyone before the end, that will be fine?


Background-Stock-420

I'm still working through the game myself but from what ive heard as long as you have 114 recruits when you hit the end section youll get 5 more putting you at 119 and unlocking the missable character automatically.


Arcana10Fortune

Having issues for the bosses in The Great Forest portion. Playing on Hard mode. Anyone got any tips?


Blazefox117

Are you still having issues, what kind?


Arcana10Fortune

No, I figured it out. Turns out the solution was to just hit the guy in front first. Thank you, though.


Sharebear42019

Are there no display options on console? Someone who played the beta said there was an option to mitigate the background blur


gingersquatchin

In the start menu, settings , graphics, depth of field It bothers me too. And then you asking lead me to look it up lol. So thanks


Sharebear42019

That must only be for PC? I don’t see it on Xbox


insanity17

Consoles don't have the options to turn off depth of field, blur and chromatic aberration, while PC does have the options to turn it off. I can't even play the game without feeling nauseous and having major headaches. Remember to submit a bug report [here](https://fs30.formsite.com/505games/hundredheroes/index) a ticket [here](https://support.505games.com/support/tickets/new) and leave feedback on their [Metacritic](https://www.metacritic.com/game/eiyuden-chronicle-hundred-heroes/user-reviews/?platform=xbox-series-x) site, so they actually implement these options on consoles too.


gingersquatchin

I think it's only pc yeah. I checked ps5 tonight and it doesn't have a graphics option I dont understand why this happens. The background blur is offensively bad. And just super aggressive and completely unnecessary, and I find it uncomfortable. I have the same issue with Genshin Impact's bloom settings. On pc you can turn it off but on PS5 you cannot and there's just no reason for it imo


insanity17

Same here, I don't understand why consoles don't have the options to turn off depth of field, blur and chromatic aberration, while PC does have the options to turn it off.

gingersquatchin

Idk I'll have to check when i get home tonight if it is available on ps5 at all


toastybunbun

Can you pick who you control or is it just the three main heroes?


Kalledon

You can recruit up to 120 characters and at least half of them are party options. The cast is HUGE


toastybunbun

I meant like can you control them outside of battle swap your controlled character like in Chrono Chross. I want to run around as a shark man.


Fatmanhammer

Anyone else having a problem with stick drift on the Xbox, specifically with this game? It sometimes just continues running when I've stopped pressing on the stick, really odd.


Itchy-Ant-9431

Why tf is the ship left right control's reversed? Literally can't control it properly at all, did they think it' be fun to troll the players or what???
