Strangelings in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time – How to turn them into buddies and what are their functions
The Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Strangelings are objects that are able to talk to you. However, you should be able to transform them into buddies, companions that can join your party. Here’s a quick summary:
You can turn Strangelings into buddies via the Goddess Statue in your base camp. You have to spend a resource called Celestia’s Gifts to complete this process.Celestia’s Gifts can be collected in your base camp. These flowers bloom every 24 hours in real-time. You may also use the Hagram robot once you’ve unlocked it to collect everything in the area.Certain debris or obstacles in your base camp, once removed, may yield Celestia’s Gifts as well.Completing bulletin board tasks in your base camp–i.e. placing down furniture or having more Strangelings–increases your rank. Certain ranks reward you with additional Celestia’s Gifts, too.
Each Strangeling has a particular life/class–i.e. Paladin, Woodcutter, Miner, Cook, and the like. Once a Strangeling has turned back into a human, you can add them to your party via your Guild Office in your base camp. As a party member, they can help you with combat, gathering, and crafting-related tasks.

Stangelings unlocked via green chests/crowned enemies
You can also find Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Strangelings as random rewards from green chests. These chests can only be dropped by “crowned enemies”–i.e. elite or boss creatures that have a silver or gold crown on their nameplates. Mimics tend to drop these at times, too.
However, because of randomization, you’re not guaranteed to obtain a specific Strangeling. You just have to keep taking out crowned enemies until there are no more rewards left to obtain. If you want to improve your chances, we recommend delving deep into Nostruul Cave in the southern part of Drakesnout Range. This mini-dungeon has several Mimics, as well as Pandora’s Box, that might drop green chests.
In any case, the Strangelings that come from green chests include:
Pirate Princess Flag: Olivia – PaladinEasy-Going Shield: Hilda – PaladinPlushling Lady Doll: Rouge – MercenaryCorny Bottle: Jerry – HunterSleepy Pillow: Sloane – MagicianCheery Wheat Juice: Grantz – MinerFresh-Faced Helm: Ian – BlacksmithWholesome Yarn Basket: Taylor – TailorSnacky Pie: Nommie – CookSecretive Mask: Sophie – Alchemist
The post-campaign Strangeling: Yuelia
Last but not least, there’s one more recruitable buddy in the game and her name is Yuelia. Unlocking the Magician Yuelia in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time tends to be a very time-consuming task due to the requirements:
You must complete the entire campaign.Your base camp must have a 5-star rating.You have to give 50x Golden Celestia’s Gifts to Flutter, the butterfly NPC next to the Goddess Statue.
Note that you only receive 1x Golden Celestia’s Gifts for every 50x Celestia’s Gifts that you collect after you’ve beaten the campaign. Given that these flowers bloom once per day–in real-time, no less–then this process can take you a while. Fortunately, you can change the date and time in your platform’s system settings. This allows you to amass resources quickly. Once you have 50 of these, hand them over to Flutter to make Yuelia appear in your base camp.
That does it for our guide on how to find all 50 Strangelings in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time. Given that we’ve already discussed where to find these companions, you might want to know about the best buddies for your party. Likewise, since you’re going to be exploring a vast world out there, we encourage you to read our Shrine locations guide and Legendary Recipes guide.
