Once you get your castle in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, you can recruit people like Ormond to open up facilities like the Quarry at your castle. Fortunately, this fellow is very easy to find.
How do I recruit Ormond in Eiyuden Chronicle?
Once you get your castle in Eiyuden Chronicle and people like Garr remind you that you can revisit the Grum County area to recruit new people. To do that, you need to head back through the new shortcut that opens up through the Abandoned Mine. It also means that right as you’re on the way to your past haunts, you can meet and recruit Ormond.
Almost immediately once you get back into the Abandoned Mine map after descending down the well in the back of your castle, you’ll see a man standing near an ore gathering place. This is Ormond. You can find him at the spot I highlighted on the map below.
As Ormond is a resource-related character like Kerrin, you need to get ore to win him over. He asks for three pieces of Iron Ore to prove yourself. It’s a less common drop from mining points. Fortunately, that spot right next to Kerrin drops them two pieces at a time. So get two right away, wander off and get into about five battles, then come back.
The mining gathering point should reset. At this point, you can get two more pieces, then talk to Ormond again to recruit him.
Is Ormond good in Eiyuden Chronicle?
I mean, he’s good in that you can build a Quarry at your castle after you recruit him in Eiyuden Chronicle? You need him, 20 pieces of lumber, and 300 Headquarters Funds to build it. That also nets you 40 more people for your castle population too.
He’s not a great support, however. All he does is increase the amount of stone or ore you get at mining points. I recommend keeping Cassandra around instead.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is available on the Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
