👥 Recruiting companions and raising affinity
An overview of recruiting companions and raising affinity, central elements of progression, and choosing whom to bring to deepen bonds.
Bealphareth — what should I check first in Companions and affinity?
The 13 companions at the inn join through conversation. Learn who is available, then distinguish between the members you need for combat and the person whose ending you want. This makes both exploration and affinity gains more efficient.
| Phase | Objective | Checklist |
|---|---|---|
| Early game | Learn the controls and the basics of recruiting companions |
|
| Midgame | Build affinity through missions and exploration |
|
| Late game | Complete key events and approach the intended ending |
|
1. The intended companion's affinity is not increasing.
Cause: You are not completing missions and key events together with that companion.
Solution: Bring the person you are focusing on, complete missions together, and advance their specific key events.
2. Enemies overwhelm you and prevent progress.
Cause: You are handling several enemies using direct attacks alone.
Solution: Set traps in passages or entrances, lure enemies in, and switch to direct attacks after reducing their numbers.
3. You do not reach the ending you expected.
Cause: You have not accounted for how companionship and accumulated affinity influence the conclusion.
Solution: The game has 26 endings. Focus affinity on your chosen companion and keep separate saves with the late-game choices in mind.
The 13 companions at the inn join through conversation. Learn who is available, then distinguish between the members you need for combat and the person whose ending you want. This makes both exploration and affinity gains more efficient.

- ▸ Choose the person to focus on and prioritize bringing them.
- ▸ Complete missions and key events together.
