Overview
- VGC, FandomWire, and Polygon, publishing Monday and Tuesday, describe the same two‑step path: discover a character then buy it at the Village Inn with coins, and they note you start with Antonio from the tutorial.
- Polygon reports that recruitment prices climb as your roster grows, so purchase order changes what each character costs.
- Many unlocks hinge on repeat actions or kill milestones, such as playing Fire Wand 100 times for Arca Ladonna, defeating 6,666 enemies for Krochi Freetto, clearing 250 Lion Heads for Yatta Cavallo, or felling 444 Skeletons for Mortaccio.
- Several characters are found in marked coffins on specific maps, including Pugnala in Berserk Wood, Poppea in the Milk Factory, Concetta in Gallo Tower, and Giovanna in the Library Sanctum.
- Guides diverge on the total roster, as FandomWire lists 21 characters and Polygon lists 22.
