How to Unlock All Characters in The First Descendant

With a total of 19 characters, including specific heroes' Ultimate versions, in The First Descendant, unlocking each of them is a challenge. They all feature unique abilities and traits suitable for specific in-game scenarios. In this guide, you will learn how to unlock all characters in The First Descendant. We will provide a complete list of all the materials needed to get each Descendant and describe this process as a whole.

 

 

How to Get New Characters in The First Descendant

To get new characters in the First Descendant, you need to visit Magister Anais found in the Albion. In the dialog menu, press the “Research Request” button and choose the “Descendant” window on the left sidebar. Once you go there, you will see a full list of unlockable characters. 

Any The First Descendant character unlock consists of crafting these four elements:

• Enhanced Cells
• Stabilizer
• Spiral Catalyst
• Code

Getting these elements for a specific character is a long journey. The reason for this is that the same element is crafted with different materials for each Descendant. The number of the required items is also varying.

By choosing the character you want to unlock, you can see the source to get most of these items from. As a rule, they might be random drops from enemies or can be looted from chests when exploring areas. If the game does not hint at where you should be looking for a certain item, you have not encountered this enemy yet. The same goes for the location.

Unlocking all Descendants can take a while, and the developers will keep adding more of them in the future. If you have no time for grinding the required materials, SkyCoach is here to help. Check out our Character Unlock Boost and get the Descendant you want in a jiffy. We guarantee the best price and the fastest completion speed of your order. The service is available for all platforms.
