How to unlock the The Ties that Bind achievement in WARRIORS OROCHI 3 Ultimate - Definitive Guide
First of all the way to see if a stage has the character you are looking for is by looking at the available officers on that level and if it has an officer as ???????????? then it has one you need. Now you have two ways to find out which famous officer it is you need. Jot down all the officer names on the level that way when you see an famous officer on the level that isn't jotted down you know that's your guy. Or go to your character selection screen and figure out which ones you need by the darkened characters.
At about 135 characters unlocked you will receive the formation called 'Sky Formation'. This reduced the miasma level to 1 for a few seconds. So run around till you find the character you need. This has to be activated by your party leader (the guy that you start the level with). One hit and he will die and drop the crystal you are looking for.
I had six characters to get at the end of the gauntlet mode and this worked on every single one of them. I had tried different methods such as different types of characters beating them such as same factions or having a special bond between them and this did not work but the miasma method did.
One other method which i did read that it worked for many people but did not for myself (although i only tried it three times,) is in the first DLC level you can apparently get these sworn ally gems in chests. gain this did not work for me but i have found on several sites that it had worked for them.
Going to do a full new game after I finish everything else in Gauntlet (Endless) mode, and hope I can get it by re-unlocking everyone using the DLC stage. Fingers crossed it doesn't require fully deleting the game save.
To unlock characters you simply have to defeat them during a stage, pick up the green diamond they drop (the message "Sworn Ally with ___" will appear) and make sure you escape. Once you're back at camp head, over to the Mystic and summon them.
[Tips]
• Start Gauntlet Mode after unlocking all 144 characters from Story Mode and choose Ultimate's new characters as your starters. The reason for this is because these characters are extremely rare but if you start with them you've no need to worry.(Optional)
• The first time you complete Gauntlet Mode you'll unlock a special DLC stages (). The chests within the stage Mt. Xingshi will occasionally contain character unlock gems and the stage Koshi Castle containts rare officers which you can defeat and unlock.
[Note]
• Defeat officers will not always drop their green diamond so wait for them to respawn and keep defeating them until they do.
Each stage in Gauntlet Mode has up to eight specific officers in them, you'll eventually encounter all 8 of them by progressing in the stage. Later when you've completed the stage you'll be able to see which characters appear in each stage.
You'll get everyone by the time you get The Conqueror's Den.
Collect all the characters items "Sworn Ally with ..." to unlock them. On a CLEARED stage, if the index shows a "???," it means that the stage has a character you have not unlocked yet. Note that above Miasma Level 50 the "Sworn Ally" item becomes very rare, it's easier to get them on the lower rated stages.
