Demonpact: Clarice Party Member Recruitment Guide

Demonpact: Clarice has a huge cast of characters to recruit. Not only are they fun to mess around with in combat, but they also add unique dialogue to story scenes and NPC conversation. Most characters are easy to find, but some are a bit tricky.

Although this guide has minimal spoilers, I still recommend doing your first playthrough totally blind. Being aware that certain characters are recruitable at all can be considered a spoiler. Some could even be considered major spoilers.

This guide won’t cover any of the bonus secret characters that contribute nothing to the story or dialogue. If you want those, just take note of any secret codes you find and see what happens when you enter them. None of them are hard to find, especially if you care enough to recruit all the normal characters.

You have Lenny at the start of the game. He’s the protagonist, after all!

You have Zack at the start of the game. He’s not the protagonist, but he’s a good friend!

You get Ying at the end of Chapter 1.

You get Beatrice at the end of Chapter 2.

You get G0R5 in the mansion during Chapter 5.

At the start of the game, choose “fight for your soul” and win the battle.
There is no way to keep Rachel in your party permanently.

She stands between Lenny’s house and the Library during Chapter 1. Talk to her and allow her to join.

Pick up all the tutorial books in the Nerd City Library and then talk to Matias. Tell him you read all the books, then answer his quiz questions. He’ll join you afterward.

You’ll need at least 20 sticks. Go to the area to the right of the Library. Talk to Yui and she’ll increase your walking speed in exchange for 10 sticks. Talk to her again and she will ask to join you in exchange for 10 more sticks.

Joe stands at the exit to Nerd City. Talk to him and give him a Bebis, then he will join you. The Bebis has to be in your inventory, not equipped. If you don’t want to buy a Bebis from a vending machine, you can get one from Lenny’s refrigerator.

If you’ve encountered 20 abominations in the sewer, Abby stands in the north end of the sewer near the Scroll of Darkness and Scroll of Light. You can check to see how many abominations you’ve encountered by talking to Navia in the area to the left of Lenny’s house.
Talk to Abby and allow her to join.

Talk to a Salarywoman near the Salarymans building to get a key. Use the key to enter the building, then defeat the enemies. Robin will join you.

Enter the Hedgehog building and talk to Suzan. Win her elemental attack minigame and she’ll join you.
You don’t need every element, as some skills can still do damage in the minigame. The most readily available way to do this is by spamming the recycle skill to eventually throw garbage at the enemies.

Talk to an Anchorboy near the Anchorboys building and defeat him in battle. Use the key he gives you to enter the building and defeat all the enemies. At the end of the gauntlet, Bite will join you.

In the 2nd battle vs Nick and David in Nerd City, do not attack Ivan. He’ll thank you and give you Bear Hands as a trinket. Afterward, he’ll appear in one of the battles in the Anchorboys building. Spare him again, then go back to the Nerd City Library, where he will be waiting. Talk to him and allow him to join.

You’ll need at least one Scroll of Darkness. After recruiting Beatrice, take the path on the right, which leads to a church. Give a Scroll of Darkness to Maria and win the following battle. Phillip will join you.

You’ll need at least one Scroll of Light. Give a Scroll of Light to Maria in the church. Keila will join you.

You’ll need to have collected 5 Scrolls of Light and 6 Scrolls of Darkness. Give them all to Maria, then select the “just talk” option and allow her to join.

Buy a Vodka from the “secret” shop in Straight Down City and give it to Emily, the girl sitting near the boxes (if you’ve recruited ???, Emily won’t be there). This triggers an annoying ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fetch quest. Follow the item trading chain, which goes in this order:

1. Emily
2. Anabel (south end of Aquarium City)
3. Rat Girl (Nerd City Library)
4. Emma (Aquarium City Library)
5. Reptilian Friend (Hidden room to the left of the Anchorboys building)
6. Commander (Nerd City tunnel)
7. Marvin, yknow, the one that looks like Garfield (Straight Down City)
8. Pete (Nerd City tunnel)
9. Hugo (Aquarium City)
10. Rumor Girl (Aquarium City), tell her the secret word DICKBUTT
11. Nadie (Straight Down City entrance)

After that colossal waste of time, you’re ready for the 12th and final step. Talk to Leorio, who stands to the right of Beatrice’s house. He will join you.

Sophie lays on the ground near the Crime building in Aquarium City. Talk to her and she will enter your inventory. Walk around and she’ll fall out, where you need to pick her back up. Repeat this process until she eventually joins the party. You can’t just walk back and forth because she’ll never fall in the same spot twice.
Whether she is fully cured or not will change her dialogue, where applicable.

You need to have recruited Bite, Robin, or Suzan. It doesn’t matter if they are alive or not. Enter the house at the top left of Winner City and George will join your team.
George’s available skills depend on which gang members you don’t have.

Open as many trash cans as possible. The Legendary Trash Man will eventually join you.

Spam the recycle skill until you find God’s phone number. When God asks you what you want, say “you” to get an item. Do this again to get another item. When you do this a third time, you’ll get a secret code. Input this secret code in the Aquarium City Library or when starting a new game.

Defeat the boss in the sewers and walk to the end of the hallway. Talk to Bob and he’ll join you.
If you’re having trouble finding all of the sewer keys, look to the right of the Salarymans building for an easily missable area.

Defeat the boss in the sewers and take note of the secret code at the end of the hallway. Input this code when starting a new game.
With the code active, enter these locations to talk with Nell:

1. Nerd City, a house in the area to the left of Lenny’s house
2. Nerd City, an opening in the wall in the southwest end. Replaces the Barry scene
3. Straight Down City, a house to the left of the Salarymans building
4. Aquarium City, a house near the entrance of the south end
5. Sewers, the stairs behind the gate requiring Sewer Key C

These can be done in any order.
After the final encounter, Nell will join you.

Defeat the boss in the sewers and take note of the secret code at the end of the hallway. Input this code when starting a new game.
With the code active, examine these locations to trigger nightmares:

1. Nerd City, a door around a broken vending machine past a Scroll of Light near the exit (must be after chapter 1)
2. Straight Down City, the house closest to the path to the church
3. Aquarium City, the house closest to the boxes in the south end
4. Sewers, the stairs behind the gate requiring Sewer Key D

These can be done in any order.
In the final nightmare, lose the battle to earn this party member.

5 or more party members must permanently die. To maximize deaths, recruit as many party members as you can, then defeat Rachel in the Crime building before encountering Richard.
After the deaths, talk to Save-chan multiple times to earn a secret code. Input this secret code when starting a new game.
