Are you eager to find all Strangelings in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time? These curious-looking objects hold untold power.

All 50 Strangelings in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time – Strangeling locations guide

There are 50 Strangelings in the game, and trying to find all of them can be a very daunting task. That said, our Strangelings locations guide covers various facets about this feature. First, we discuss what these Strangelings do and how you can turn them into buddies. Then, we talk about the different methods that allow you to obtain them. These include:

• Campaign progression
• Shrine challenge completion
• Settlement quest completion
• Objects left in the environment
• Green chests and crowned enemies

Note: Strangelings are different from Phantoms. Strangelings are permanent additions to your roster, whereas Phantoms may appear in random locations. They then disappear after enough time has elapsed.

The Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Strangelings are objects that are able to talk to you. However, you should be able to transform them into buddies, companions that can join your party. Here’s a quick summary:

• You can turn Strangelings into buddies via the Goddess Statue in your base camp. You have to spend a resource called Celestia’s Gifts to complete this process.
• Celestia’s Gifts can be collected in your base camp. These flowers bloom every 24 hours in real-time. You may also use the Hagram robot once you’ve unlocked it to collect everything in the area.
• Certain debris or obstacles in your base camp, once removed, may yield Celestia’s Gifts as well.
• Completing bulletin board tasks in your base camp–i.e. placing down furniture or having more Strangelings–increases your rank. Certain ranks reward you with additional Celestia’s Gifts, too.

Each Strangeling has a particular life/class–i.e. Paladin, Woodcutter, Miner, Cook, and the like. Once a Strangeling has turned back into a human, you can add them to your party via your Guild Office in your base camp. As a party member, they can help you with combat, gathering, and crafting-related tasks.

Several Strangelings in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time can be unlocked just by progressing through the campaign. Just keep playing and tackling main quests until you’ve recruited all of them.

Cash Cat: Cormell

Strangeling Object #6: Scarecorn – Roissin

Strangeling Object #9: Country Wood Pot – Orlando

You can also find Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Strangelings as random rewards from green chests. These chests can only be dropped by “crowned enemies”–i.e. elite or boss creatures that have a silver or gold crown on their nameplates. Mimics tend to drop these at times, too.

However, because of randomization, you’re not guaranteed to obtain a specific Strangeling. You just have to keep taking out crowned enemies until there are no more rewards left to obtain. If you want to improve your chances, we recommend delving deep into Nostruul Cave in the southern part of Drakesnout Range. This mini-dungeon has several Mimics, as well as Pandora’s Box, that might drop green chests.

In any case, the Strangelings that come from green chests include:

• Pirate Princess Flag: Olivia – Paladin
• Easy-Going Shield: Hilda – Paladin
• Plushling Lady Doll: Rouge – Mercenary
• Corny Bottle: Jerry – Hunter
• Sleepy Pillow: Sloane – Magician
• Cheery Wheat Juice: Grantz – Miner
• Fresh-Faced Helm: Ian – Blacksmith
• Wholesome Yarn Basket: Taylor – Tailor
• Snacky Pie: Nommie – Cook
• Secretive Mask: Sophie – Alchemist

Last but not least, there’s one more recruitable buddy in the game and her name is Yuelia. Unlocking the Magician Yuelia in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time tends to be a very time-consuming task due to the requirements:

• You must complete the entire campaign.
• Your base camp must have a 5-star rating.
• You have to give 50x Golden Celestia’s Gifts to Flutter, the butterfly NPC next to the Goddess Statue.

Note that you only receive 1x Golden Celestia’s Gifts for every 50x Celestia’s Gifts that you collect after you’ve beaten the campaign. Given that these flowers bloom once per day–in real-time, no less–then this process can take you a while. Fortunately, you can change the date and time in your platform’s system settings. This allows you to amass resources quickly. Once you have 50 of these, hand them over to Flutter to make Yuelia appear in your base camp.

That does it for our guide on how to find all 50 Strangelings in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time. Given that we’ve already discussed where to find these companions, you might want to know about the best buddies for your party.
