Find all 49 Strangelings in fantasy life i the girl who steals time. Learn how to turn them into Buddies and where to find them via Shrines, boss drops, and more.
Strangelings are NPCs in fantasy life i the girl who steals time that have been transformed into objects and hidden throughout the game's world. There are a total of 49 Strangelings to find, with some being encountered during the main story progression. To revert a Strangeling into a Buddy, you must interact with the Goddess Statue located at the base camp in the Present era and use the Celestia’s Gift item. Celestia’s Gift, which are blue flowers, spawn once per day at base camp.
Once reverted, Buddies function similarly to other NPCs in the game, each possessing a Life. You can have up to three Buddies accompany you at any time, and they will level up alongside you. If a Buddy shares your current Life, they will join you during relevant activities, such as gathering. Similarly, assigning Buddies with matching Lives during crafting can significantly improve your chances of success. It is recommended to wait until you have at least two Buddies associated with a specific Life before attempting to craft items related to it.
