:Note: If you have already been told by Thanos about a strange man in Vancoor Square, it will trigger a cut scene when you attempt to go into Carl's Pub. Don't worry, you will still be able to recruit Giske and Jarvis once the cut scenes are over.

==Large Man in Vancoor Square==
talk to him after he comes home for dinner, from 6-10pm.
Once you have finished the episode with the large man in Vancoor Square, you will be able to recruit (or shortly) the following characters:


===Theater Vancoor===
:Talk
*Caesar
:Talk to him in Vancoor Square when he is staring at the fountain in Vancoor Square (between 6-11pm) with Gareth and Aldo in your party. (Note: Must be over level 31).


*Gerald
hit any buttons until he joins you. He is inside the Goblin Town near the fork in the path.
 
:Note: It is easy to miss Gerald, so make sure you start this before the game progresses.
 
:Enter the Vampire Club in the Void Community.Be sure to go alone, and after completing "The Ultimate Battle" job. This will trigger a cut scene where Nocture will ask you to deliver a letter to Gerald. It will be pretty obvious what to do, although you will gain control of Jack a few times between the various cut scenes. You use this to go and save it you want.
 
:Some time after Nocturne and Gerald fight it out, speak to Gerald, who will tell you that if you can beat him he will join you. If you lose, don't worry, you can try again (once per day)
 
:One strategy I saw on the recruitment wiki was to poison Gerald and then run around avoiding him until he dies from the poison. An easy way to do this is by locking on to him with the R1 button and holding up on the controller.  You can tape your controller in this position and walk away while his health drains away.  The same can be done with Nocturne. Another was to continuously throw Mass of Emneties at him to stop him from using his volty blast on you.
 
:The method that I use was to equip "Full Power", which increases your volty strength, and equip the Rune Sword, which has a side effect of Petrify. Start the duel by hitting him with the sword. If you paralyze him, that is great, keep hitting him until he becomes unparalyzed. Lock onto him and use your volty.
 
:If at any time, Gerald starts to sparkle, indicating that he will soon use his volty, immediately equip the "Fierce Defense" skill and use an herb to bring you to full HP. Then hold down the X button and wait for his volty. If you are at 100% HP and your Fierce Defense skill is up the whole way, you should have a few HP left after the volty attack. Quickly feed Jack an herb to restore his HP to max again.
 
===Void Community===
*Nocturne
:Talk to him with Gerald in your party. Then defeat him in a duel.
 
===Non-Guild Humans===
*Bligh
:This is a pain since it is hard to catch him. The actual recruitment is fairly easy, though. You can talk to Bligh when he first gets up around 6am. He walks from his house directly to the field, so be standing in the narrow passage way between the two houses. You can also talk to him after he comes home for dinner, from 6-10pm.
 
:Talk to Bligh and find out his pipe is missing.
 
:Go to the Goblin Village, walk through the town, and fight Brie. If you win, he will tell you he tossed it in the rubbish heap (which is inside the town)
 
:Find the pipe (it will be sparkling), and return it to Bligh.
 
*Finish recruiting Elef, Ryan, Hip (Non-Guild Human)
 
:You had to have accepted the mission to defeat the monsters at the bridge.
 
:You had to have gotten them the spare blueprints
 
:Talk to them after the bridge is finished in their inn where you got the blueprints.
 
*Lyle
:Talk to him with Conrad in your party.
 
*Tony
:Speak to him after you beat the boss in the sewers beneath Theater Vancoor.
 
===Non-Humans===
*Aesop, Gob, and Monki (Goblin Trio)
:When you first cross the bridge into the Goblin country, you will meet them again. Beat them in a fight, and then decide to let them go, and they will join you.
 
*Ben
:Kick him three times when he is sleeping (9am - 3pm). When he sits up, talk to him. Answer "Sure" when asked, and then don't hit any buttons until he joins you. He is inside the Goblin Town near the fork in the path.


*Brie
