WithEiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroesproudly wearing its old-school inspirations as a badge of honor, fans shouldn’t be surprised that it includes random battles when exploring the field and dungeon areas. As a spiritual successor to the iconicSuikodenseries, the battles can be just as frequent inEiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.

After getting the mission from Ymir in theHero’s Den, Nowa and his team must go to Altverden Village in the west and speak to the village elder. He will ask Nowa to deal with the village’s bandit problem in the mines.
The party will be better equipped to deal with the enemies and the bosses in the Abandoned Mines if they are at leastlevel 12.
