In this guide, I explained how to find your familiars in the game and what you need to do to recruit them.
Unlock Familiars
Familiars are animals that can fight alongside Melinoë in the war against Chronos, give her various passives, look really cute and grant her uses of tools she does not currently have equipped to maximize the value of each expedition.
How Do I Find Them?
Unlock then perform the Woodsy Lifespring Incantation (which you’ll unlock as you naturally progress through the game) at the cauldron in the Crossroads. While exploring Erebus, you may now come across a cat in your travels. Interact with it whenever you come across it.
At the start of the Hecate fight, after having beaten her an unknown amount of times and talked to the cat, she will bring up the concept of familiars and will also grant you a new Incantation.
Perform the Incantation. You’ll be given 1 Witch’s Delight.
Frinos
Little Guy Extraordinaire himself, Frinos is the first familiar you’ll acquire. Found in the spawn point at the Crossroads, you should give to him the Witch’s Delight you should’ve just made if you’ve been following this guide to recruit him.
Toula (and How to Make Cookies)
This one’s a doozy so I will only touch upon the details I absolutely have to as to not turn this guide into a surface unlock one as well. I will assume you’ve performed the incantation that allows you to explore the surface and the other which lets you actually, you know, survive it.
- Talk to Chaos repeatedly until they grant you an Incantation.
- Perform the Incantation. This will allow you to participate in Chaos Trials, which you’ll need to do.
- In the Alchemy tab in the cauldron, make some Beast-Loved Morsel (which I’ll keep refering to as cookies in this guide because I’m normal. No offense, Mel) after acquiring the required materials. This is also what you’ll need to turn future familiars to your side.
On the surface, when you arrive at the docks leading to the ships after defeating the Cyclops, you’ll come across Toula. Give the cat a cookie.
