How to Recruit Every Character in Chained Echoes

Chained Echoes is a new RPG game with those old 16-bit vibes from the 1990s that so many players love. This is a turn-based game that puts you in a huge number of interesting places that you get to explore and complete quests in.

While progressing through the game you will form a clan and that clan will need a lot of members in order to be influential and strong. Here’s a guide on how to recruit all characters in Chained Echoes.

Recruiting Guide for Chained Echoes

The first thing you should know is that various characters will bring new bonuses with them. Some will upgrade your base, while others will increase the number of Skill Points (SP) you get through the battle. Also, some characters require certain preconditions before you can recruit them so we’ve split this into three different areas: Characters that can be recruited in Hermit’s Isle, characters that can be recruited in Act 3 (Clan Rank 2), and characters that can be recruited in Act 4 (Clan Rank 3).
