How to Unlock All Yo-kai Watch Minions in FFXIV

Get your hands on every single Yo-kai Watch minion!

The Final Fantasy XIV x Yo-kai Watch collaboration introduces 17 minions for players to collect. These minions form the core part of the collaboration, and collecting them not only rewards you with new companions, but it also unlocks the ability to farm for Yo-kai Weapons later in the event.

With so many minions, it can be daunting to unlock them all. As a result, we’ve put together a guide for farming each and every one of these minions.

How to Get the Yo-kai Watch Minions in FFXIV

Once you’ve unlocked and started the Yo-kai Watch event, you can obtain Yo-kai minions by completing FATEs with a Gold or Silver rating in La Noscea, The Black Shroud, and Thanalan. Once you complete a FATE, you’ll receive a number of Yo-kai Medals depending on your performance.

To get the minions, head to the Golden Saucer and trade your medals to the Wandering Executive (X: 5.2, Y: 6.9). He’ll trade the first minion to you for just a single Yo-kai Medal, and subsequent minions for three Yo-kai Medals. You’ll need 49 medals in total for all 17 Yo-kai minions.

You can also keep track of your Yo-kai minions in the Yo-kai Medallium compendium which can be accessed through the Minions sub menu. You can use this not only to see which minions you’ve obtained, but to track the Yo-kai Medals you currently have for each minion.
