Your lieutenants are the key to the True Ending. Gaining Rapport is essential for unlocking their ultimate gear, secret camp services, and the "Mercenary's Peace" finale.
1. Oongka (The Shieldbreaker)
Tank / Guard Breaker
Titan's Grip (Hammer)
Location: Pailune Slums Tavern.
Critical Choice: The Debt
Choose "His debt is paid in blood" to trigger the boss fight and get the unique hammer. Paying the gold misses the loot.
2. Yann (The Sharpshooter)
Ranged DPS / Scout
Storm-Eye Bow
Location: Kweiden Border Outpost.
Complete the stealth hunt of the White Stag. Stealth is mandatory; any alert resets the progress.
3. Naira (The Alchemist)
Support / Crowd Control
Apothecary's Satchel
Location: Whispering Swamps.
Defend the ritual circle from waves of illusions. Leaving the circle causes severe Void Damage.
5. Lyra (The Shadow Thief)
Assassin / Trapper
Nightfall Daggers
Location: Hernand Market (Night).
Infiltrate the corrupt merchant's mansion without killing any guards. If you are spotted, the quest fails until the next night.

The Secret History of the Greymanes
"The Greymanes weren't always a band of brothers. In the winter of 2024, Kliff found Oongka chained in the slave pits, while Yann was being hunted for a treason he didn't commit. Naira was the one who stitched them back together."
Completionist Hint: Finding all 12 "Mercenary Journals" unlocks a secret dialogue tree with Kliff in the finale.
Conflict & Disapproval
Leadership is about making hard choices. Certain actions will please one lieutenant but alienate another. Balance your choices to keep the Greymanes united.
⚠️ The Pailune Execution (Chapter 4)
When deciding the fate of the traitorous scout in the Pailune Markets:
Camp Management & Expeditions
You can only bring 3 companions into active combat. The rest remain at your Mercenary Camp, but they don't have to stay idle.
📜 Dispatch Missions
Interact with the Command Tent to send idle companions on timed missions. They will gather resources, gold, and crafting materials in real-time while you play. Tip: Send Lyra on "Scouting" missions for a chance to find rare keys.
🏕️ Upgrading the Camp
Spend resources to upgrade your camp facilities. Upgrading the Medical Tent increases Naira's healing efficiency. Upgrading the Forge allows you to craft higher-tier weapons without visiting a city.
Max Rapport: Bonded Skills
Once you reach the "Eternal Brother/Sister" rank, Kliff unlocks a permanent passive skill that works even when the companion is not in the active party:
Unstoppable Force: Kliff's stamina consumption for sprinting is reduced by 30%.
Eagle Eye: Highlights all collectible herbs and ores within 50 meters.
Toxic Touch: Kliff's daggers and arrows have a 5% chance to apply Poison.
Shadow Step: Kliff's dodge roll has 20% more invincibility frames.
Unique Cosmetic Unlocks
Reaching Max Rapport also changes the appearance of your lieutenants and their quarters at camp.
- Oongka: Unlocks the Iron Guard plate armor and golden-trimmed shield.
- Yann: Unlocks the Ghost Stalker cloak (semi-transparent in snow).
- Naira: Unlocks the High Alchemist robes with unique particle effects.
- Lyra: Unlocks the Midnight Silk outfit, masking her footsteps entirely.
