How to find your Clan members in Chained Echoes
As you progress through Chained Echoes you will reach Act 2. For Act 2 you unlock an airship to travel around in and you have a new base called Hermit’s Isle.
With this base, you can recruit clan members and those clan members will inhabit Hermit’s Isle and some of them can provide bonuses to you and your team.
There are 4 ranks to your clan. As you recruit more members and your rank increases then more NPCs are available to join your clan. As the ranks increase and more members are recruited you will notice visible changes to Hermit’s Isle.
Rank 1 Clan Members
Falora
Falora is on Hermit’s Isle. Once you find her and she joins the clan she will give you hints on where to find more new recruits. The only catch is she charges you 1000 ARC per tip. She will repeat the tip if you forget but once you find the recruit the tip goes away.
Pavel
You can find Pavel on a raft out in the ocean. Head to the southwest corner of the world map in your airship, land on the raft, and convince him to join your clan.
Pavel will give you a gift every hour of gameplay. And you don’t have to check with him every hour. If you have played for 3 hours since checking in he will give you 3 gifts. At Hermit’s Isle, you can find him on a fishing dock fishing after you recruit him.
Eddie
In the western part of the world map while flying in another airship you can interact with you will find Eddie. Eddie is an underappreciated musician who is looking forward to sharing his music with you and your clan.
Once your clan rank is high enough he will let you listen to music. The music you can listen to is all of the music from the game’s soundtrack.
Bao
If you head to the top of Mt. Rydell you will find Bao. Convince him to join your clan and he will reward you with a perk that enemies have a 50% chance to reward an additional SP after you win a battle.
Deimsch
Early in the game, there is a blacksmith in Farnsport that helps you with the crafting tutorial. Go back to that location and talk to the blacksmith (Deimsch).
Once you recruit him you will now have an anvil in your base. At first, he will be set up in the cave. Once you have reached Rank 3 for your clan he moves into a building.
Guy
When in New Wyrnshire head to the northern parts and get on the buildings. Here is where you will find Guy. Guy gives you no perks.
Vesta
Vesta is a very important clan member because he gives you a very helpful perk. Vesta is located on an island in a lake on the world map accessible by airship. The island is northeast of Farnsport.
Once you get Vesta to join your clan you will have a treasure chest icon on the bottom left corner of the UI. The icon will tell you how many unopened treasure chests exist in the area. It will also show an indicator that there are hidden caves and buried treasures in the area.
Bernd
Meeting Bernd is one of the more fascinating experiences with NPCs in the game. You can find him in a house in Rockbottom arguing with his wife. Make sure you read the dialogue because it gets pretty hilarious.
Bernd’s perk isn’t immediate. Once you reach the highest clan rank he gives you a Soul of Farnese. Those are needed to craft the ultimate weapons.
