If you're trying to collect all buddies in Fantasy Life i, you're in for a bit of a hunt. There are 50 total, and most require specific shrines, quests, or items to unlock.

This guide breaks down how to get every Buddy, how to turn Strangelings into Buddies, and where to find key items you’ll need along the way.

How to Unlock All Buddies

Most Buddies in Fantasy Life i start off as Strangelings. You’ll need to revert them to their original form using Celestia’s Gift, but first, you have to find them.

Some are earned by finishing quests. Others drop randomly.

Some are hiding in shrines or out in the wild waiting for you to show up and ruin their quiet day.

Once you’ve unlocked the Goddess Statue in Chapter 3, you can use Celestia’s Gift there to turn Strangelings into Buddies.
