How to unlock characters in The First Descendant
There is a growing roster of playable Descendants in The First Descendant, and they are unlocked through collecting parts. These parts can be built with materials. You'll have to collect these through exploration, or by completing quests.
It doesn't stop there though. Once you've collected the required materials, you need to build the 'Descendant Parts' that you need, and then start the research on the specific Descendant. Your friend during this process will be Anais, who is the NPC responsible for researching weapons and Descendants in Albion.
Anais can help you wade through the huge amount of materials you will need to get. You can select through the vendor windows to see exactly where you need to go to get specific materials. To see this, select any Descendant, then hover your mouse over one of the required Research materials. This should bring up a window that has all the info you need. Press the button prompted and it will show you where you can get whatever Material you are after.
Wondering how to unlock characters in the First Descendant but haven't met Anais yet? Here is how to find them:
However, if that sounds like a total hassle, you can just purchase a Descendant immediately in the Shop tab.
