In Nightingale, navigating the perilous realms alone can prove challenging, underscoring the importance of recruiting Survivor NPCs. Encountering these NPCs early on, it’s crucial to understand how to enlist them into your party.
How to get Survivor NPCs in Nightingale
Survivor NPCs are individuals who can join your party upon completion of a straightforward quest. Typically found near Essence Traders, these NPCs have specific tasks that need fulfillment. To enlist them, complete their quest and then interact with them. Note that only one Survivor NPC can be in your party at a time.
Scattered throughout the realms, these NPCs offer various forms of assistance. You can offload materials to them while gathering resources in bulk, allowing your character to remain unencumbered and focused on harvesting.
Furthermore, you can equip weapons, tools, and items to these NPCs, who will then utilize them accordingly. For example, assigning a Hunting Knife to a companion NPC can provide valuable assistance during combat encounters. With the recruited Survivor NPC accompanying your character, navigating combat scenarios becomes markedly easier.
